MC Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Getting a straight anywhere is hard - concentration and all that. The targets at JJS ain't gimmies mind you either. Fair play to the fella, he could go places if he wanted to joint he CPSA and put 30k miles on his car and win a net of about 2 bob I agree, Yet getting a straight at a sporting ground where the birds are the same each week is like getting a straight at skeet. It requires massive concentration. At the Offton shoot before christmas I shot a 29/30 and the one clay that was missed was a straight forward going away bird that should have been in the bag having straighted that particular stand twice before. However a slip of the mind and the possibility of a straight has gone, and that was only 30 birds not 84 or 96 like JJ's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 That must have slipped through the Radar, Or perhaps he has filled out the form that CAt gave him at High lodge and he is rejoining the CPSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntout Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 My last 3 efforts at Aylsham gun club have been 7/50, 26/50, 11/50. I'm not sure what happened yesterday for the 11 again after seeing a marked improvement both there and in free practice at Mid Norfolk - I blame the new cartridges! Overall - only been 4 times but things are slowly improving....I no longer have a bruised cheek from poor mount which is nice however I feel I might need the comb lowering a little so will sort out out getting fitted for it when I get some spare cash. I mounted another bettinsoli with adjustable comb (set slightly lower than mine) and it felt a little more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Well he has had long enough to think them up, How about writing Vol.2 Pete? Or was the wheeze on claysporting about you starting shooting in 1990 just so you would fit in with the elite after your ban :o Ya, I had a dabble during a summer a long time ago, until it got curtailed by a slight legal issue I think it was '89 actually, or thereabouts. I can't recall mentioning that on the other site BTW, are you stalking me!! I've only two years of experience to dream up excuses, I could easily have popped into Caterham and picked up £80 prize money like I do everytime I've shot there, but I decided to do a much harder shoot for the experience.

MC Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) No not stalking you at all, However I do have an eye for detail and do pick up on certain things like "I have only been shooting 15 months " when in reality I started in 1990. At least I am honest and will tell anyone I have been shooting since I was old enough to hold a gun.

I find gun up actually quite hard, unless it's a DTL type bird. I also shoot ESK gun down, and have a few 25 straights in practice.

Peter De La Mare Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Your eye for detail obviously missed all the times I mentioned that here over the last two years. Yes, I did a summer's worth of shooting when I was 18, then I was forced to stop, then I moved to England in '97 and took it up again when a work buddy started in January '08. So not sure how much skill I gained in a few months 20 years ago (not much obviously) so just to keep it nice and simple I disregard the earlier period.

You're beginning to sound like Mungler, who likes to "disregard" his CPSA classification of "A" class in Sporting when it is expedient to do so..!! Cat.

Anni Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 "Event Anxiety" is the Daddy of all excuses I'll give him that I have yet to hear a better one I reckon this Essex masters thing will be a good "Daddy" producer.
