Fair one, that's a pretty decent price, thanks.
Great registered sporting and Sportrap there every month and some on Saturdays.First time back out for ages, and a big thanks to Lauren & Graham at Owls Lodge near Winchester. Went down after the rain, had 100 birds in mind... ended up absent-mindedly blasting through all 150 cartridges I took! Graham went round with me and was great in what he was chatting to me about, nothing too pushy, just words here and there. Introduced me to DTL which seemed an interesting diversion and might have a pop at that as I hit most of them. Ended up having a 5 bird spread from in front of the tower for my last cartidges in the box: one from behind, a l-r crosser, a high r-l crosser from the tower, a teal and a r-l looper and did them all so a very satisfactory end to the day. Half an hour to get there, definitely going again.
We need to fatten you up, I spent most of the shoot in a thin top!I had a shocker, but got to watch Hamid.
My last two shoots went OK but nothing made sense today. I cocked up my clothing and was freezing which didn’t help. EJC felt testing on almost every stand today, so if off form it was always going to punish you. Never mind, shoot another day..
79 seems to be your default score at the moment :wink:EJC today and glad the rain stayed away although the gloomy light was a reminder of what’s to come over the next few months. We started on the first Skeet range the yellow/green and the orange sim pair. I started badly on this and got 4/10. Never good for me to start so badly but I fought the urge to mope about it. Enjoyed the round in good company ended badly on stand 12 dropping 3. Shot some good scores on stands in between. Finished on 79. Always good to see the usual reprobates going round.
I will remember the time and date of when a woman said this to me.We need to fatten you up,
Agree with stand 6. Thought stand 9 was carp too. Impossible for the poor lass scoring to actually make a good call with black clays on a poor dark tree background at some people's Kill point. She was asking us what the result was. .Honesberie today. It was chilly, annoyingly damp and the course was tough. But I enjoyed it! Had the usual 5 or 6 stupid misses on simpler targets that I’m doing lately, so my 82 should have been higher. Only one moan for the unfair clay on stand 6? A fully extended cherry picker was in front and left of the cage, throwing a full spring away target. I never touched it, like most people. One of the ground staff admitted it was daft. So felt rather like a 96 bird shoot.
Yes if you left them late it was tough. Can you believe I hit all the long ones and only the first closer one. Knob..Agree with stand 6. Thought stand 9 was carp too.
