  1. Worsley - Registered Comp - 100 ESP - 03rd Feb

    in Clay Pigeon Shooting

    Posted · Edited by whiskymac

    I feel entry fees of £36 are getting to the upper limit of what people are willing/prepared to pay.

     

    The big reason the entry's were nearly double Worsleys expectation was because of the guy setting the targets, nothing else, it's that simple believe me !!

     

    As for the price of a hundred clays it's probably in the region of three to four quid depending on the quantities commercial grounds buy at a time.

     

     

    Azzurri

     

    Agree with this G, I think Fauxdegla charges £31 or £32 comp and obviously Catton is £30. It's enough. I think the nearer grounds get to £40 the more shooters they risk losing to B/O, it's a bit like shells, I know people who flat out don't want to break the £200 barrier for a thousand carts. Superbs for example are over £200 now and it seems to be that cut off point where a lot of people say 'too much' and start looking at alternatives. Same with the Comp & B/O situation for a lot of competition shooters.

    Obviously you 'expect' to probably pay a bit more at selection shoots.

     

    Need to do a lot of timber butchering these days to shoot eh. :lol:

  9. The Wild West.....

    Saw the cowboys today at Catton complete with semis, spurs and stetsons. :lol:

    Mr P shot nicely after a dodgy first stand and finished on 90, I had 85 but the real star of the show was Maxus who shot an 83...which I think was his personal best. Well shot fella. :good:

    Brett Winstanley was leading with a 98 (I think), though I think somebody else put the same score in as him also. It was a high scoring comp, I think there was an 86 leading C class. :lol: :blink:

     

    Despite the poor forecast, we stayed largely dry apart from the first few stands. :)

  16. Makita or Dewalt Mitre Saw.

    in Off Topic

    Posted · Edited by whiskymac

    Currently running a Dewalt DW712 and it's been very good, and it's twice the saw with the stand....especially for repetitive cuts. Using a Freud blade and it gives excellent, very clean and accurate cuts.

    Used to use a little Makita non sliding chopsaw for workshop use, also good but a little agricultural lol. The new Makita saws also look good though.

    Money no object the Festool Kapex is fantastic but mega bucks.....hard to justify the extra over a Dewalt, especially for site use.

    Much prefer Makita power tools/batteries as a whole though.

  17. HOW WELL DID WE SHOOT TODAY 2012 EDITION

    in Clay Pigeon Shooting

    Cheers fellas, very much appreciated :good:

     

    And with regards a decent coach....well thanks Chard....thanks for all your tuition over the last couple of years, it really is very much appreciated mate. :good::lol:

     

     

     

     

     

     

    In all seriousness if anyone is looking for a coach then don't look any further than PW's very own Beretta, saviour of many a lost cause at Sporting clays.......and he can shoot a bit as well you know. :lol::yes::yes::good:

    Great place to shoot Ed, shot there a few times and enjoyed the targets, lovely part of the world and I always thought the clubhouse was spot on, especially if you get sat in front of their roaring fire after a cold day. :)

  22. Looking for a nice bit of wood for a bedroom shelf,

    in Off Topic

    Pippy Oak or Burr Elm. Rosewood is also nice but probably too much for a shelf :lol: , nice for inlays though. Again you would need a specialist....John Boddy Timber used to have a catologue full of exotic timbers but not sure what they carry these days in the more exotic stuff given current climate. Had a lot of oak and ash off them in the past and they were good to deal with.

    They are in Boroughbridge so about 1 1/4 from Derbyshire.
