Sporting shoots. Where - and how did it go?

[Will Hewland]

Anyway, Weston on Sunday. IF my permission slip from Scotland arrives of course.. ? 

 

[ExSCA]

I don't get this crusade. I shoot 15 to 17 grounds per period. What else am I supposed to do? Sit on a unicycle while I shoot? ?

Is that an option? 

 

[Will Hewland]

Is that an option? 

it's a fine balance.

I haven't posted for a while but reading some posts on this thread "ego busting reality check for marginal AA guys like yourself Will " Dear oh dear . I shot Owls and enjoyed it immensely, apart from two stands that I completely cocked up was pleased with my 68 . I thought it was very tough and brought this marginal A shooter down to earth .  High gun 92 was sensational .

Papa, just remember, if you go to Horne on Sunday, remember to tell them that under the Scottish Moral system, you are in fact AAA. I will be at Weston going for B class when I book in.

Iam shooting orston this Sunday. Hoping for an extremely hard round to drop my average around 76 _ 77 would be nice.

Jeez.. You haven't been there have you. It is in the middle of the country and gets an amazing entry. All the talent from Wales, Midlands, Oxford, Gloucester and even losers from Berkshire. The end scores are always impressive figures but always a surprise when you see the targets. good shoot though.

Climbing stars always Buck a class. (Yawn, as everybody else has Sussed). Bored now.

I mean, what is a suitably hard shoot in Scot-world? 90 yard sim targets with a rusty nail driven into each knee cap? HG of 35? "Oh but I'm so hard, I loved it" screamed by all? Nobody like a grueller. They write that they do, on here and on FB but in the car park they are truthful. Really, over and out on this waffle.

and that screws the Horne theory. Their other ground, Court farm, can be tough as F..

Exellent HG for Tony Hoskins!!!? High five Sian!!!

thank you but never mind his score did you see mine ?.  Seriously though everyone needs shoots like Horne - for the land available to them I think they do a good job.  Occasionally you will get stands and you think could have been a sim pair or why a following pair but overall you do have to think about what you are shooting and it is so easy to think you have a stand in the bag and then drop them.  So easy to overlead.  Will is right Court Farm can be very tricky.

I'm shooting Weston tomorrow; i'm praying that Steve goes into a zen like state when he is setting the course and forgets about the thieving scum. I need an easy shoot to get some confidence back!

I went at 12.30, thinking it would be quiet. 270 entries! We had a big wait at the far end, but it was OK after that. The course did seem to have a resemblance to the last time I was there.. Usual story for me. A big bunch of silly misses on some easier stands, but at least I straighted stand 12. Saw lots of faces, a good catch up session.
