Haven't Visited here for a while 

Kegworth Fitasc 91 

Westfield sporting 91 steady

Orston Fitasc Sunday  80 tough I thought HG was 90

Longridge dryish 82 going away target city need to be better at shooting at stuff I guess

Westfield Monday 93 and dry

Loving the new stock seems to have bedded in nicely.

Didn’t shoot the England Qualifier Fitasc Sporting shoot at Kegworth but noticed there were 50+ scores of 90 or over !!!

It was poor. 

Not to take away from Matt's straight but 100 targets trying not to miss is my idea of hell. 

I would rather miss trying to hit.

Oh dear! Sounds a bit like skeet, miss one and you’re in trouble!

See the weather forecast is rain, you boys from west of the river will feel right at home all the best chap might see you as one is on the last rotation

A good course at Ian Coley today, not super tough, but interesting enough. A fair few longish loopers were on. Maybe it needed one more hard stand, but no complaints.

Showers came and went when we shot at 12pm; some of the time we were saved by being in sheds, but got a good soaking near the end.. I definitely shook off the tatty misses I’ve being suffering with lately, ending on 94 and that included two lost with a bouncing rabbit and pulling the trigger before I meant to on a teal.

Richard Faulds did a 99 on the midday rotation.. Some great shots doing the late squads, so I expect to see some scores filling the gap above me to RF. Enjoyed the shoot and it was great to walk clean underfoot for a change. Fed up with mud..

 

[Will Hewland]

Well done Ian Coleys, scores on CPSA already, as it should be. I got 5th overall. Bouncing bunny cost me joint 2nd.

Coleys also, 2pm, drove down from Coventry mostly in pouring rain with headlights on, it stopped as I parked, saw a merry band of Welshman who were all smiling, a mixture of kinder course than last and the rain which made them feel at home Squad of me, StuK, PeteH, Willy Hale, Joe Hale and the glamourous Zea, a rose amongst some serious thorns. The rain / drizzle / sun pattern of weather played through the day, it took the gloss of what could have been an excellent clay day, well all had triumphs and troughs, well bar Joe who put in a 95 , we mortals ended on me79, Stu 91, PeteH 89, Willy 81 and cheshire cat Zea 76 a PB, Nick Portlock & Sam Usher 95s so RFaulds 99 carried the day. Some sun next month would be nice

Well done AGL, scores on CPSA already, as it should be. I got 5th overall. Bouncing bunny cost me joint 2nd.

Coleys?

 

[Will Hewland]

Coleys?

Yes. Coleys! One of the quick close black rabbits I missed..

It appears I won Ladies for the Greater London sporting and 1st in Ladies for the competition at Southdown in some horrid weather.  Just one brain fart stand which cost me 5 clays having hit the first pair.  Finished on an 84/100.

[Doug Pinnegar]

As per others, I shot the Ian Coley shoot yesterday. We had glorious sunshine and torrential rain, sometimes twice per stand!

Sloppiness crept in for sure; it was a shoot that should have seen a big score but I was 'only' able to card an 81. A good score but I can't help but kick myself for some of the stuff I missed.

 

[Zea]

Squad of me, StuK, PeteH, Willy Hale, Joe Hale and the glamourous Zea, a rose amongst some serious thorns.

Umm, cheers Rich. Very kind of you to say so, but I'm not sure many would class my bright green rain mac as "glamourous"

Another very good shoot at Churchill's with Will Hewland, Steve Bowe and his young daughter for company, had the misfortune of shooting stand 1 kinda blind which proved to be one of those simmo pairs that needed some prior sorting   so promptly dropped four x ten but very very happy to have kept my cool and only dropped another 2 birds on the remaining eleven stands   some of which needed respect. Obviously won't be enough with stars like RF to follow but there's life in the old dog yet.  :lol:

Very well shot Hamid! Also Steve! Any talent I had yesterday went down the sink overnight, one to forget for me, bent barrels day. 

 

[Sian]

Me too Will, I didn’t shoot it well ended on a 77.  Hammie the sim pair was by first stand and missed the first bird but got the rest.  The one up the stairs near the Harry stand I shot standing on a dustbin I simply could not see the orange one where I wanted to shoot it.  Anyhow lovely weather and shot with a friend I haven’t seen in a while so catching up nattering probably didn’t help.

 

[Sian]

Sorry meant to say Well shot Hammie

Gunsite for me today,very busy as i don’t think there is anything else on in this neck of the woods.Started well enough,only 3 away in maybe 7 stands,and then the rot set in a bit,big left to right in the middle of the shoot followed by big looper,dropped 4 there,usually shoot loopers ok but made a mess of this one.very sloppy finish,ended on 88 which i am happy enough with as it felt like I’d missed a lot more than that!!usual great mix from Sean,thought the big pair in the middle were superb even though i fluffed em up

 

[Turkey]

Gunsite for me today with Young Douglas

A little stiffer than usual but a cracking shoot with a few big targets

 Doug with a cracking 83 well done Sir!

I managed a 95 which im over the moon with!!!
