Southdown sporting and Sport trap 25th August

[AJB]

I have to say a credit to the team at Southdown today a horrible day to shoot ( understatement ) but the targets were excellent. We had two no birds from a battue trap probably because the clays were sticking together as they were so wet. A good mix of targets with some traditional Southdown long midis and Chondels. There was something for everyone including a pair of long bunnies and a going away battue.

By all accounts the Fitasc was also good on the 23/24th. We left with Chris Childerhouse on a excellent 94. George and Henry Arnold on 92 for second.

Well done Southdown keep up the good work.

Ditto to the above. Great layout! A superb battue,set horizontal and you shot down on it from above, (so you could see its full face) quartering away R-L like a steam train. Never seen that done before - excellent!

Got the scores wrong Chris shot 94 in the Sport trap not the sporting.

The weather was just too foul for me to venture all the way to Southdown.

The thought of the looming winter fills me with dread!
