What did you do today that’s shooting related?

I wish mine was a mid life crisis then it would have been an Audi S7 or  BMW M5 or similar.

Family demands i'm afraid, and a lot more trundle then whizz !

Would take a caravelle over either of those cars 10 times out of 10. I'm 43 but would have taken that choice since my 20's.

Had some tuition today. My shooting was appalling but I didn’t really enjoy it any less than when I shoot well. I love this sport

Went to EJC  late afternoon for the icecream. I had two.  Watched the shoot offs and awards ceremony and generally had a natter with friends.  Have to say EJC do host very well and a good variety of food.

Finished 4 very long, hot and mentally tiring days reffing the world fitasc at Churchill’s.

I had the wonderful opportunity to see some truly awesome shooting from across all spectrum of classes, from the D class shooter who has the day when all comes together, to, A class shooters who couldn’t hit a bulls arse in a corridor type of day.

I met some wonderful people from all over the world, and I have to say, that to a man the Americans are the politest and most appreciative of us referees being out in the field, each and every one shook my hand and thanked me, it’s a shame that one top British shooter, who shot a 25 straight on my layout (Blaser) simply picked his bags up after signing for his score, turned his back and walked away.

Suffolk... surely just pick a random field and crack on?!

Southdown: where was everyone? I can't remember queuing once

did the pool shoot, it was a new layout at the north end - in order to avoid the afternoon sun.

Shot the sporting layout - badly, I'm definitely on a downward spiral. Pigeon shooting on Saturday didn't help, still knackered on Sunday

Shooters spread thinly.. I think there were 5 shoots I could have done on Sunday. And absolutely nothing last week. Busses..

I too shot Southdown, very quiet although a few of the overseas shooters had made their way there.  I am shooting sportrap really badly for the last three shoots I have done, I think I am too tired at the moment to give it the concentration it deserves.  Anyhow pool shoot as well for me and then the sporting.

I think our paths crossed on the sporting as you were walking down the lane to the first stand I was walking back up with a friend

Possibly, I would have been moaning about the humidity.  I found it very close yesterday, with some relief found in the shade and when a breeze would blow.  I seriously wished I had worn shorts instead of jeans.  Although at one point I thought we may get some rain as a big grey cloud came over but then disappeared.

you looked happy enough, you were in the shade of the gentleman by your side

I was looking for a motion defection light for a wardrobe and I can across these lights on Amazon:

OxyLED Sensor Wardrobe Light: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0783BP7BL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_wBj1eMhZctTHt

and I ended up using them in the gun cabinet. They work a treat. I use them with rechargeable batteries and haven’t charged them since installing them 4 months ago.

Out of the door at 04:30 this morning .  Back home around 2:30pm . 400 mile round trip from up’t’North to Teague Precision* and back with a few stops thrown in for good measure  .  The early start put me into the M5 services having breakfast , rather than sitting on the M42 in rush hour . Teague’s put the kettle on , 20 gauge barrels measured up and instructions left for thin-wall conversion  . Lovely people to deal with . 

* As a tank of diesel is +\- the same price as the cost of  sending it via Parcel Force , plus an RFD handling fee , and (as a non working senior loafer ) I’d now’t  better to do , I thought I’d drive the gun down .

Over my couple of days, I have been getting my truck ready for the gun safe.
