John tells me that he had a number of comments from those that attended saying how much they enjoyed the stands that made up this latest shoot. Not everyone turns up for the 12:30 start now, so the groups are more spread out and there is less queuing. Come on your own and join a group, you will receive a warm welcome. The ford remains low, not that there are usually many issues with it. But some people need reassuring. NEXT SHOOT 14/09/19 STARTS 12:30, last card 15:00.

Only 17 guns braved the conditions to come to Redbournbury for the shoot on Saturday 16/03/2019. The rain held off but the high, blustery wind affected many of the targets, especially those going away in to the wind and those coming in on the wind.

Despite the snow, 24 guns came to Redbournbury for the shoot on Saturday 02/02/2019. The snow wasn't a big problem, it was the bright sunshine on some of the stands that interfered with seeing some of the clays.

37 guns came to the shoot at Redbournbury held on 19/01/19. It is muddy underfoot (not helped by the digging of a third lake) but shooters know what the ground can be like at this time of year and come prepared. We are seeing more and more new faces as a result of word of mouth recommendations. All say it is an enjoyable and friendly shoot. If you have no-one to come with, there is always a group to join to take you around the ground. Not everyone turns up for the 12:30 start now, so the groups are more spread out and there is less queuing. Now we can start looking forward to the days getting longer. The ford remains low, not that there are usually many issues with it. But some people need reassuring. NEXT SHOOT 02/02/19 STARTS 12:30, last card 15:00.

On Saturday 10th November 2018 the weather conspired to dampen the afternoon somewhat. OK the sun became less of a problem but the deluge was a poor substitute. 23 guns turned up to shoot and again the six stands were well received. Newer faces were more evident than the old reliable ones. They will be back when they have the time. So it bodes well for future shoots.. Not everyone turns up for the 12:30 start now, so the groups are more spread out and there is less queuing. However the nights are drawing in, so don't leave it too late.

On Saturday 27th October 2018 there was bright sunshine up until 30 minutes before the shoot started. This is never helpful as the shooting area faces west. Suddenly a bank of cloud appeared and the potential problem went away. 35 guns turned up to shoot and many said that they enjoyed the challenge of the six stands. There were quite a few new faces on the day which is encouraging. Not everyone turns up for the 12:30 start now, so the groups are more spread out and there is less queuing. The lack of rain is also keeping the ford low, not that there are usually many issues with it if it gets higher. But some people need reassuring.

Saturday 04th August 2018 was again a challenge in the hot sunshine. Especially during the delay while the ceased trap on the tower was repaired. But repaired it was to continue throwing a nice high bird. Only 25 guns turned up to shoot, again some of the regulars were noticeable by their absence. On the other hand some of the new faces are now becoming regulars. Not everyone turns up for the 12:30 start now, so the groups are more spread out and there is less queuing. The lack of rain is also keeping the ford low, not that there are usually many issues with it if it gets higher. But some people need reassuring.

Saturday 07th July 2018 was another fantastic day for a shoot and thankfully NOT a Penalty Shoot Out. By the time of Redbournbury's next shoot " It will be all over!" Just over 30 guns turned up to shoot and they did just that "Paid, shot and Left" the footy was calling, down the pub no doubt. The work done by the Friends of the River Ver has seen the ford continue to be no deeper than a couple of inches deep. Work on reducing the potholes in the lane has paid off, although the mettled part of the lane is now showing increasing signs of wear and tear.

Saturday 09th June turned out to be a fantastic day for a shoot. At this time of year the sun is high enough on most of the stands as not to be an issue . A total of 25 guns turned up for the shoot, a fair number down on the previous shoot. We all suffer with our responsibilities and demands on our time. We try hard to vary the targets each shoot and try to use the ground to produce a challenging shoot. There was certainly a mix of challenging targets, my scorecard is evidence of that. The work done by the Friends of the River Ver has seen the ford continue to be no deeper than a couple of inches deep. Work on reducing the potholes and puddles in the lane is starting to pay off, although the mettled part of the lane is now showing increasing signs of wear and tear.

SAFETY NOTICE - A shooter suffered what appears to have been a choke deforming and blocking the barrel. The barrel ended up with a bulge and part of the rib loose. Always check your barrels are "EMPTY" before you reload.

The day started damp but by the start time the sun was out and it got hot. As the shooters finished there was a run on tea/coffee, canned drinks and squash. A total of 35 guns turned up for the shoot. Not bad for a Bank Holiday and with the Herts Show just down the road. We try hard to vary the targets each shoot and try to use the ground to produce a challenging shoot. I didn't think the shoot was too taxing but even some of the good shots were reluctant to reveal their totals.
