Yes sorry about that it was a genuine mistake.I cannot believe the thieving git who tried to pinch my £250 leather gun case today at Churchills my case was on top of my bag and just before I was about to go on the stand I looked round and it wasn't there I shouted where's my gun slip the Thieving git must have heard as he came back and said something like I made a mistake he made no mistake he know exactly what he was doing as all he had was just a cheap canvas slip and that was worth about £5 That was left on the fence rail near my bag I told him to piss off thieving bastard I should had took a picture of him so beware if you see a guy with a pink/ reddish schoffel sleeveless sheel jacket on watch your stuff as he a thieving git.
Tony and I on our scary journey up north to Garlands and Kegworth wondered wether you would venture out. The weather on the way up was atrocious and some drivers needed a kick in the nuts but there was only actually a spit of rain now and then during shooting. Didn't shoot too well either of us but enjoyed both shoots.Weston Everglades was good today. A slightly low turnout as the weather looked bad, but was actually ok when I went at 11.30. There had been enough rain overnight that I was more than a bit worried about being attacked by alligators on the way round. Steve Lovatt had swapped to a hovercraft for his trap filling run.
Targets were a tad stiffer than some of the recent shoots I thought. Very good and deceptive in places. I absolutely died on two stands dropping 9! So despite a reasonable performance elsewhere I was never going to feature highly.. enjoyed it.
Get checked outDid a good FSP at Windrush today. Reminded my self just how much gun-down affects me on quicker closer stuff, missing a good few of those. Dragged me back to 83, but hit most of the long stuff. Enjoyed it, despite getting a large bit of clay in the ribs, then later, another bit on my head, cutting me through my cap. I was just about to step into the hoop as well! Seeing a few stars for a moment..
Siobhan sprayed some dettol on it and told me to man up and make her a drink.Get checked out
Yes but what about the clay injury?Siobhan sprayed some dettol on it and told me to man up and make her a drink.
No that's a smack with a spoon..Yes but what about the clay injury?
You're a bad man and possibly a dead man walking ?Listen, I won't have a word said against my wife. She can light up a room. Just by moving away from the window..
I grew up listening to Les Dawson and Bob Monkhouse. Blame them. She doesn't read this..You're a bad man and possibly a dead man walking ?
Well shot! I had a few awful stands, including 10 which looked ok I thought. You beat me mate!Was debating whether to shoot Owls today as thought it would be busy with the county champs. But weather forecast was good so headed down early doors. Managed to get around in 2hrs and that was with a big queue on stand 8 that I shot last. Was happy to finish on 86. Dropped 4 on stands 4 and 10 - the latter I knew I needed to move my feet for the 2nd bird but ignored my own advice until the 3rd pair.
Finally met Hammy face to face as well.
Thanks. Saw you in the background around stands 5-6 and would have said hello but you were heading back to the lodge and I was going up top. 10 was most annoying as once I moved my feet I hit them all - typical it was a 5 pair stand. Missed one of the rabbits on 7 due to a double jump ?Well shot! I had a few awful stands, including 10 which looked ok I thought. You beat me mate!
I thought it looked ok then dropped 5 on it! Would have hit your 89 if not.. anyway, like me you were disadvantaged by not practicing there on Thursday. Ooo ouch.. I'm off out now..Nice to see some of you there today, 260 miles return journey but enjoyed it very much, no disaster stands ended on 89 but just a thought about that split incomer pair which I feel is just a tad unfair on the elderly. I watched one old boy refuse to tackle the second bird and although I managed to straight it I could see why as each pair was giving me noticeable back strain on the second bird.
