Decent weather for this saturdays shoot, ten stands of ten at a bargain £30, can't practice locally for that. Busier than last time out and there was a few on the White Gold, must say that does not tick my box for this year so if anyone else out there shot it and wants to comment then do tell the masses.
Saw Clynt Chipper and the Wiltshire Warbler planning their Bounty Battke, more of that tussle later.
Bumped into Shortlegs, Jason, Tipper and Sleepy Hollow, nice to see you chaps, Shortlegs did well together there what with lots of M4 traffic, should qualify for a entry discount that effort ( only joking Steve)
I didn't shoot this in sequence, this rare for me as I'm bait of a neat numbers man started so at stand 9 let three go after nailing first two pairs, stand 10 had a pair of Simo l/r crossers which I didn't put enough lead on and just didn't learn
Watched three guys shoot 7 and 8 missing about three targets out of 60, I step up and shoot a 7 and a 3!
The 3 was dissaponiting as I just didn't have a scooby doo on a relatively close report r/l crosser that should have been all 5 on the card.
St1, Simo teal and crow, missed first teal but rest clean 9, like to have just stayed here!
st2 report pair of r/l orange crossers, first two pairs good clean kills, then missed the next three, muppetry by yours truly having been "on them" only to plainly go belly up.
St3 oh I think a low l/r orange then a slightly incoming r/l off the cutting a pleasing 8 here
St4 bump! L/r crossing report pair of a rabbit clay then a standard, missed first here pairs by miles, improved slightly for a 3!
St5 a l/r crosser followed by a r/l crosser than at times looked close to the tree, first three targets lived for another day but dragged a 5 here.
St6 by far the hardest stand one felt, tbh there was nothing before this stand that looked "tough" a r/l looper followed by a rapid flat r/l crosser on the bank.
My card at the close looked like a jewellers window 5 stands having a string of 0 where I either didn't have a clue how to read the target from the off or having started well then lost my way.
Now Bounty wise.
My nark ( who shall not be named) tells me that Chipper made a poor start and Clynt stole a lead, Wiltshire Warbler kept the pressure on and it was a tight three way battle right up to the last stand, which was the St6 toughie, Chipper first up missing first clay then cleaning up the rest, next up Clynt dropping a couple to second place and with all to play for it was too much firvthe Wiltshire Warble who badly wobbled even stopping to change cartridges but to no avail and he slumped to third.
Do feel free to correct my target descriptions, I'm not shooting very well so correct target observation might be one of my more obvious errors!
