Mungler Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 The biggest draw for repeat visitors to a shooting website appears to be a "scores" page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 The biggest draw for repeat visitors to a shooting website appears to be a "scores" page. Yeah decided not to do that as did't want the whole world to know who shoots in a particular area of the country. Your right it would bring return visits. Haggis.

ME Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 From a design point of view, I dont like the clay shooting man in the pictures, it is very obviously photoshopped onto the backgrounds. You have gone to a lot of effort, I would get some "real" (high quality) pictures once the sun comes out. The site looks nice apart from that. Link it to as many other shooting related sites as possible and send it as a press release to the shooting magazines. (add it to your forum signature as a link too).

haggis Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 A password protected page for the members might be an option to consider. Yeah loads of things we could do with the site but we're a fairly small club and only wanted a map etc. Got to get some photo's uploaded of the ground from the next shoot.

Mungler Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 (edited) It's so the school bullies would know where to "get you". People who were concerned could just enter under Pseuds - I don't think it's CPSA affiliated so no need for cards, passes etc to be shown.

haggis Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Forgive my ignorance but what issue would that create? We are told by police not to keep details of members certs etc and are advised not to put name on web because someone might be able to work out where shotguns maybe kept, so if we wanted to put scores on there like previously mentioned a password system would be needed but for a club of ou size might be too much work for me to do.

Cheers for the feed back. Sorry, maybe it didnt come across but it was meant to be a positive view, I like the site. Get the same photo again but on a sunny day and with a real background. What about "Bradwell" in the background maybe ? We can lend you a local Essex clay shooting celebrity head if you need it >SEE HERE< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 What happened to my photo! There is no refund on my agency fees you know - I still want paying Good to see you put some clothes on Hamish for your photo. Can you dress like that all the time from now on. Its so off putting watching you shoot in your Borat Thong. I am sure it explains the low attendance last time and was nothing to do with the torrential rain. Looks good mate - well done for making the effort to sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's daft. Following people back from the clay shoot is more likely to be a threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 That's daft. Following people back from the clay shoot is more likely to be a threat. Have to agree. Lots of publications and websites list names of winners, the CPSA website has thousands of 'em so this does seem a little over zealous. I'd be more worried about someone walking in and helping themselves to a prize from a gun rack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Is the scenery in the photo on the "Contact Us" page in Essex? It doesn't look like the land of the white stiletto to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I would add that I would like to get down to the Colchester shoot again - I have only shot it once, but the layout was seriously testing and worthwhile. The only bit I didn't like was shooting "4 targets" on one stand and then 6 on another etc. It didn't help the consistency - most shoots generally throw 8, 10 or 12 birds per stand.

The only bit I didn't like was shooting "4 targets" on one stand and then 6 on another etc. It didn't help the consistency - most shoots generally throw 8, 10 or 12 birds per stand. That is why I don't shoot it very often. I understand why they have so many stands as it stops the large queues but it is always a good layout but I feel you don't learn anything if you get on a stand you can't find the "BIRDS" 2 or 3 pairs is not enough. They should keep the ammount of stands and up the birds to 4 pairs on each. After all they charge enough for it. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, 5 pairs is too many and 6 pairs is just plain bonkers At least 2-3 pairs gives you a good test of your ability ps. No - I haven't shot any 100 straights at sporting MC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexfluke Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 I am a member and find it can be hard to find the clays in three pairs but it is the same for everyone and is always an enjoyable set up as it is set up by different member each time. As for the web site, looks good would be nice to have top two scores in each class listed no need for names just to check how I had done in my class. Well done Hamish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haggis Posted March 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Would the essex mafia and PW members come to a 80 bird open in the summer if I could get the club to put one on? Haggis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
