    Thanks for that answer ed, that just about sums it up !!!.

     

    Hi optima, our squad also shot the Blue (Promatic) coure on the Sunday, 1st squad rotation & we NEVER had any mastercards :no: :no:

    can,t say for sure if they were on every stand but definetly on our last stand of the day the simo going away pair as i was looking how many straights were on there, and ref got bit confused to say the least.

    Returning to the thread about "THE WORLD SPORTING", does anyone know why there was NO mastercard provided to the Refs on the second day !!!

    This is one of the main factors which the CPSA stipulates to grounds when holding Registered events ???

    we had mastercards on 2nd day on blue course

    Yep was surprised he didn't ask for it to be staggered- I couldn't believe he had to do the two rounds after I had finished first too. Thought he would have asked- well within his rights.

    The ref did ask george if he wanted to shoot first again to which george replied if i got to i will but i just shot first, then he shot first but as i saw it if he,d said no he wouldn,t have had to shoot first.

    I tried them when lead ban came in, absolute rubbish no where near as good as lead,tried em on pattern plate and it showed why they didn,t kill well,gave them away to someone. whether they are any better now i don,t know.

    To shoot 100+ in one session

    Yea done it many times, 256,251 many 200 plus, 10, 100 plus in one season, but my most enjoyable was shooting an 88 just stood on a flightline between 2 oaks, high testing birds, had a few decoys out but hardly any committed as they were feeding elsewhere, that was 15 years ago but still sticks in my mind.

    The 256 was on a pea field and sticks in my mind for all the wrong reasons, i,d bought a brand new berretta AL 391 camo Auto, (2 days earlier)i,d never fired a shot through it,so turned up at this pea field,farmer said not to start shooting before 8 am cause of noise,anyway got there well before 7 and birds were pilling in, made a hide and sat in it watching bird after bird come in ( no decoys out yet) anyway 10 to 8 put out deeks got back to hide loaded up and in floated 3 customers, i thought heres 3 dead, bang 1st dead swung onto next click, gun woudn,t fire 2nd barrel and thats how it continued for an hour,i was shooting well over an hour from home, rang my mrs and she brought my over and under up and i finished on 256 but i,d missed the best part of day by then.
