Shoot Clay Support Challenge

[PhilS]

Growl,

I may have this wrong - the F&F thing is new to me - but if people that aren't going to be there put prizes in, they won't be there to take one(s) back out as per the rankings (ie there should be the same number of prizes as participants).

Therefore there will be a surplus - if I am right (never according to 'the boss') wouldn't they be better in the raffle?

Just a thought  ickeat:

BTW - 2 MORE SLEEPS Yaaaay :yahoo:   :yahoo: :yahoo:  

Edit - I may have that totally wrong - I had it in my mind that Adam couldn't make it but if that's not the case then I'm talking bollocks - sorry

as mentioned before without the help and support of all coming and Phil for hosting this, the Growler would never have got off the ground.

next year I'm gonna try and get the stands sponsored (if Phil is ok with that!) so for a bit of advertising space we can send even more moola to the charity :smile:

see you all the day after tomorrow  :fie:   :fie:   Growl

Am I easily confused or should the knife I donated be in the raffle?  Or is that something else?

[Rich H]

Am really looking forward to this now and the weather forecast is looking a better than it was earlier in the week too.

Also good to see there are some other shooting noobs, hopefully I won't be the only one asking silly questions.

 

[Growl]

Hi Funky, I thought that the knife was for your fur-n-feather prize! You don't have to donate to the raffle or even buy a ticket, but it is the money raising part of the day, the money the raffle raises goes to the charity, I have posted a layout of the day in the general discussion page called 'the growler an update' cheers growl

 

[Richard59]

Forecast, as seen this evening,

Friday (practice day) chucking it down all day sometimes really chucking it down and now and again really really chucking it down, prcatice day therefore cancelled!

Saturday the MAIN EVENT, showers with some possible thunder.

 

[Growl]

PRACTICE - PRACTICE you don't need PRACTICE, blimey, and anyway the only thunder will be my cartridges, I've ad a word and it will be a nice day, just like I'm gonna win too....

 

[funkyboogalooo]

[Growl]

Only Joking, I always try my hardest on every stand, even when I'm shooting crap, I can't help myself, if I see a clay I gotta try and kill it, I'm often heard laughing at myself when I miss, I think that may be my way of masking my dissapointment at not killing another one of the little bast**ds, I hate em with a vengance, I'm even know to spend good money in the persuit of there anhiolation, strange thing is the buggers seem to rebuild themselves and come back to cross my barrels every time I go, It's a thankless task but I just gotta keep trying, one day the countryside will be free of these clay vermin and I'll be able to sleep well in my bed.

Oh dear, I think the pressure has finally got to me and I've snapped, better go have a glass of red and calm down, cheers everyone. :crazy:
