Snap!! Sporting at 10.48 then sport trap on weds also at 4. See you there maybe x shoot well everyoneI shall enjoy it the next two days. Worst weather of the week.
Great to see you and Tony too. Seems like it’s been forever! Enjoyed the course, (red) didn’t shoot well but nothing wrong with the targets. Very muddy and nearly ended up on my backside several times. If I had to complain about something it was that the bar on the front of the stands was fairly high for us shorties and I felt awkward holding the gun. It only took me to get to stand 13 before I realised what the problem was and I then stood back further away from it which was better. As Will said, a bit of everything with the weather today, it ran well, if anything we were about half hour early starting and didn’t get held up at all as I don’t think all the squads were full. I need tomorrow to get the negative thoughts regarding my glasses, my dads illness and worrying about leaving the dog at home (neighbours looking after her) out of my head and just shoot! Looking forward to the sport trap in the afternoon though.Good to see you both today Donna and Will.
Donna I can recommend the strawberry one. I didn’t like chocolate truffle though. I’ didn’t shoot the Sportrap well but I enjoyed it and I would say it’s a fairly friendly course.Great to see you and Tony too. Seems like it’s been forever!

Might try the ice cream tomorrow!
The Events:What's the criteria for the worlds for making the super final, is it just the top 6 or 8 scores etc from the first 200? Also Is the super final started from scratch or added to the first ex200 score?
Super, thanks tiptop.The Events:
The World English Sporting
A 200-target shoot shot over two days (either 6-7 July, 8-9 July, 10-11 July). There will be a 25-target Super Final, where the top six shooters (shoot-offs in case of ties) will compete for the title.
Yes, my bad, not booking it further apart on the day. We were rushed. Agree, water and toilets are needed half way round!Re the sport trap Will, we shot it today too but we left a few hours between finishing sporting and the sport trap so managed something to eat and felt a bit rested but was really tired mentally and physically afterwards.
Totally agree, both good courses but for anyone else shooting it, the Gamebore course has a LOT of walking in between the stands and a lot of the stands are on an incline. Still fairly muddy and despite on the website stating there are water stations dotted around the courses, there are none! The water is on the mini buses taking you down to the layouts which we didn’t find out until we had done both days and was on the way to the sport trap. Shot better today so was pleased with that and the weather stayed kind to us.
Agree with Sian, the ice creams were worth having, especially the coconut one!
