Its not only the rain but the wind has been so strong the clays would be 1/2 mile away in no time!

Where dad and I set our strawbailer up is waterlogged. Don't think it will dry by sunday. That is bloomin' Sussex clay for you.

The next rain-casualty looks like EJC reg on Thursday. Weather looks good tomorrow; awful Thursday..

Maybe the Wednesday night practice at EJC could break the boredom this week..

As one who suffers from 'cabin fever', I hate being stuck indoors,but equally I hate shooting in the rain.

I gave that up when I packed in game shooting.

Recently,however,I have been out clay shooting in the rain and I have to admit I still enjoyed it.

I regret missing a charity shoot last Sunday, but it really was persisting down.

The charity was one I always support,McMillan Nurses,fortunately they are repeating it in June.

I'll post it on here.

I was booked in for the FITASC at Grimsthorpe on Sunday, if it had been a turn up and shoot competition then I wouldn't have bothered.

So I battled through the floods and torrential rain which persisted all day and was half expecting the ground to be closed but Mark and his crew are made of sterner stuff.

I got myself properly geared up with waterproof everything and surprised myself by thoroughly enjoying the day.

The great targets helped and I think all the water drops on my specs stopped me tracking stuff, so a poke and hope out of necessity worked quite well and I finished on a similar score to what I would expect on a good day.

I think sometimes you have just got to get on with it regardless!

Dont care what the weather does this weekend, I'm shooting 2 days if I have to paddle round in a canoe

Fortunately the ABT is under cover this weekend

[chubby]

My Gun does not work in the rain

 

[ExSCA]

Just heard that Gunsite is cancelled for Bank Holiday morning - ground is completely waterlogged.

 

[Will Hewland]

Weather looks less horrid for tmrw at EJC though.

Now I am a kayak fisherman so this idea has a certain appeal, could be a whole new concept :huh:
