I've shot this event many times over the years, it's my favourite ground for Sporting. :good::good:

 

One thing's for sure, IF the weather is kind to you, and IF the daylight holds, you'll have a superb day, with plenty of missed targets to winge and whine about on the long journey back up the M6 to your mud huts. :good:

 

Enjoy it guys, you'll not shoot better targets anywhere in England, Hodnet sets the benchmark. :yes:

Victory Shoot

 

My grand idea of waiting till the last moment, checking that I hadn't died, got swine flu, avian flu, Asian flu, Spanish flu or even worse MAN flu all went out of the window a couple of weeks ago :good:

 

My bottle went when I realised that I might not get in so I raided the children's medicine fund (I'll just give them a spoonful of mixed fruit jam, always cured me when I was ill), sent the cheque off and nipped out and bought a 250 box of Victory Challengers so I guess that, weather permitting, Mr Potter and boy (Son Of Potter)will be there.

 

You'll recognise the boy, he'll be the one sneezing with mixed fruit jam smeared round his mouth :good::yes:

 

Anyhoo, to Pigeon Watchers everywere, A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year :good:

He's only saying that, so he can get his excuses in when I beat him!! ???

 

We know you'll thrash him :good:

 

Have you heard what he calls you when you beat him? :good::yes::P:P

 

I didn't know language like that existed, as I've had a sheltered upbringing, no mixed fruit jam for me :good:

 

Welcome to PW by the way, chap :yay:

Chard,

Have you been speaking to my missus, 'cos thats what she says nearly every single day, well to be honest I think that's what she says - I stopped taking any notice in 1979 and stopped actually listening about 1989.

 

Re: the boy, I've been to the solicitors and drawn up the papers to disown him if he doesn't perform at Hodnet :good::good:

The last time we were there, earlier this year, he shot a 93 x 100 and the shoot was won with about 3 shooters tied on 94. He has always shot quite well there (Hodnet) but after his demoralising effort in France he might come in with a 53 :good::yes:

 

Mr Potter aka Son Of Potter's Dad.

 

PS Son Of Potter aka the boy isn't really a sniveling kid, his mother tells me he's nearly 30 (which frankly I find hard to believe)

93? :P That's positively indecent ???

 

We don't want any of that kind of behaviour :good:

We have standards, you know :yay:
