Sporting Shoots; where- and how was it? (2018)

[Sian]

Yes very enjoyable round I hit 99 and I was pleased to hit two of the midis on stand 14. I messed up the rabbits though which I normally shoot well.

Never got anywhere near that midi but fun trying.  The two shooters in front of me on the rabbits had their first one bounce a little but my first one came out and just disappeared down the gully .  Hardest pair of rabbits I have  done so unusual.  Really enjoyable shoot.

What was the wrong way round?

I shot going away first, but found the second bird almost on floor. Shot first one earlier, missed it, but made second one OK.. watched several people go other way round and made it look a doddle.

Going away first for me. Honestly didn't even contemplate the other way round. 9/10.

Embarrassed to post weekends scores. Suffice to say that I'm really struggling of late, need to get this sorted

Me too, have hay fever for first time ever and it’s really affected me. Cannot concentrate for the life of me, had sooo many pairs hit then dropped the last pair!  Maybe it’s my age

Had it all my life, dread this time of year.

Liberate yourself and post them, its cathartic.  I have had lots of practise

Richard bunning missed 3 of those midis. But he didn't miss anything else 117.

Went for my first visit to Oxfordshire Shooting School today; their 50 reg ESP and 25 STR. Nice little clubhouse, ridiculously nice loos! Tidy little ground with plans for developing it further.

I added an interesting dimension to my day by forgetting my gun. Kerfuffle at home as leaving.. I was kindly loaned a 29” game gun with full choke. Actually it was fine, but I missed a good few on stand 2 while I figured that I needed to see about 2/3 of my usual lead picture with it. Finished on 43 which I like to imagine may have been 48 with my gun. A couple of testing stands, the rest interesting enough but steady. 

STR I started OK then collapsed with not managing the reduced lead picture. Best forgotten. I’ll go back sometime with my gun!

I stopped in at EJC and did rather better at the STR with a borrowed gun that more closely resembled my own.. Good layouts there!

Early work start & finish at a very wet Bedford, had the mind to put gun in car (locked to car I add) rain petered out on way home at rocked up and shot this also, fortune saw me in same 4 man squad as MrH, a pleasant enough course, couple of bin-lid type targets yes, though stand six, a sim pair of incomers tripped up far far better shots than I, also managed to shoot the Sportrap without meltdown which was a bonus.

Echo the comments re clubhouse & w/c's, ground wise the development and addition of more stands is needed, the facilities deserve it

Owls with Bunter, Tiptopper joined us for a merry gang of three, had a nightmare start on some close quick targets, that apart had a very pleasant morning / early afternoon out. Mr Myers 99 was 9 clear when we left, staggering score.

oh on leaving a few young chaps looked at rolling screen and one commented “99 must be easy” having dug deep to save face must say on that course nothing could be further from truth, now wondering how these chappies got on

 

[Will Hewland]

99 ridiculously good. Late in day 93 was second. Tricky shoot I thought. Kept dropping random pairs, 85.

Classic for me today, good shoot and ran quite smoothly.  Lacklustre performance from me, poor on blue and then dismal on red.  Don’t know why so bad but I was.  Only one criticism and that was stand one on red where the ref jokingly asked if we had our stilettos on and stood on the bench to see the targets.  I simply couldn’t see the second target, I was too short.  

 

[chippy]

Classic for me as well I shot average a 57 blue and 59 red. But I enjoyed the rounds however several of my friends said they didn't.  Stand one red I saw the midi but so late I could not get on it, the wind had got up a bit and maybe was pushing it down.

It was breezy and the bushes were so high.
