I have had them come at random, i went to work about 7am and had forgotten something so returned home, a Range Rover was sat on my drive containing my Firearms man. Random spot check,we know you set of to work about now was his story. Came in nothing matched his paperwork and made notes then left.

Certainties- There was weather, there was a wad restriction and Kegworth was the only CPSA reg ground in the midlands exercising such- Orston 102.
-
I shot fiber today, its not about the shells its about wad predjudice percieved or otherwise.
-
Kegworth ran its first Fiber Wad shoot of the year today, Cpsa is showing only 32 entries. Typically 100 would be seen. This is very bad news.

Asking is asking. The AD was asking 9.5 but has applied over 20% off. Tells a story.

I think 7.5k for a seamaster is way too much.

Not enough information, what reference?? Its a lot for an Omega. This model could be one that needs a discount to sell.

Do you think the USA and the UK should just sit back and do nothing?

impressed the Dutch are in the mix with us
The issue is bigger than one man.
To do anything at all it must be of such force as to quell them for certain.Not the light touch.

It does offer some light, i do wonder if Sundays may not feature within the revised timetable.

Not really, if you don't book in advance and just turn up you'll be lucky to shoot unless someone let's you have a go while they have a break. However if you want to shoot under cover and the same clay every time it's ideal. Lots of money spent on shelters and buttons but little thought on variation of traps or layouts. That makes Humberside the better option as it has a "proper" sporting layout with 3 or 4 traps at each stand. Like you say I suppose, apples and oranges in standards and quality
If you shoot registered comps then Humberside has nothing to offer

I will be shooting at Hodnet in March. (If I can manage that hill ! 😄) As has already been said, IF everyone is using fibre wads, what is the problem.
Hodnet is always a good day out,despite that hill.
6 minutes ago, Westley said:I used to shoot an annual weekly Competition at East Yorkshire Gun Club, every September. Sporting, Skeet and DTL. We nearly all stayed in and around Beverley. I expect local businesses will also be hit, if the closure goes ahead ?
The latter part, thats just the issue, its not everybody,next week its just Kegworth, i feel for John, i have always enjoyed going there in the past.

Beverley is a blow, its only an hour from me, its under cover, under Rob Hall and Sean the calibre of the place and value to Sporting shooters has increased tremendously in Recent years. The statement is untenable under current inpositions, maybe someone else will take it forward.

Do you honestly believe a move to FIBRE wads will kill off Registered Competitions?
No, but it will curtail a Registered comp type set up while plastic is permitted elsewhere. When its the same all over the wad wont matter.
7 hours ago, Mable said:I too have not used plastic for may years as I don't like to see the bits all over.
Back on topic, the East Yorkshire Clays that is closing is very close to Humberside Shooting Ground. There are also a couple of other local grounds. I do wonder if the closure could be anything to do with competion from other grounds.
Apples and oranges for comparison there. Beverley offers Registered fast trap sporting and sport trap competitions, None of which are offered at Humberside etc.
7 hours ago, Westley said:I suggest the 'turnout' at MCSC possibly has more to do with holding the registered shoots on a Friday, rather than a weekend. Some shooters still go out to work, rather than 'work from home' !
Indeed this is a factor, one of many, where do you shoot registered targets?

Lets see where we are in a year then, On Kegworths website John indicates his view for the future.

Do you mean the ,'death knell' is due to having to use fibre wads ?
If so, why ? There have been plenty of registered shoots at Manchester shooting ground and they are fibre wads only. If everyone is using fibre wads, what is the problem ?
Look at the turn out at MCSC, then look at the old Kegworth numbers,At Orston on Sunday 180 plus. The numbers will drop massively as the hard core CPSA Registered shooters will move on.
-
I also read that, indeed a blow for the region for all disiplins. Also yesterday Kegworth is now fibre only at the insistence of the landlord.
-
Read last night Beverley to close in the middle of the year, viability issues, real loss for the region and Shooters, Kegworth forced to be Fibre only by landlord effective immediately.
This is the death knell for Registered shoots there.

Er NO, No available alternative, except taxis. They recently re routed the bus that stopped outside the Hospital, now there is a walk of around 1/2 mile from bus to Hospital. I got a ticket £40 fine, for not parking in a designated bay. It was that or arrive late for my appointment. I was not causing an obstruction and there were several other vehicles parked in the same way. I can manage a half mile walk, but I feel deeply sorry for those who can't.
Er Yes! there are too many people on the planet for everything.
It is simply unsustainable,
