Son Of Potter Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 DSPUK - I'll answer on Mr Potters behalf, No Harry isnt the chap you mentioned who drove the green 4x4 around Catton, His name was Tom, I think he passed away sometime last year. Harry is the old gentleman who instructs at Catton Hall and always shoots the competitions there. Son Of Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Sorry to hear about Tom - he was a real nice old gentleman - wondered why I hadn't seen him for a while. - I probably know Harry by sight. - Thanks for the update -- see you at bluebottle shoot.

DSPUK Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Work ? Ah yes I think I remember what that was - you have to get up early in morning or something like that then sit in traffic for hours at 6.00 at night - Of course if you are a student you walk around all day looking at young girls with see through blouses- no bras and mini skirts - or was that in 60's. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) Well, the weather was kind to us after all Good weather, plenty of sunshine. Very enjoyable comp, but not a difficult course really They don't seem to publish a scoresheet at Hodnet, which is strange, but they said they'd email me the full results. We'll see if it happens Couldn't have been too tricky because there was a score of 99 in when we left and "a fair few" in the 90's. :o Our scores on the doors : Son of Potter - 90 Top banana. Good shooting SOP Anni - 89 Great shooting, chap. PB I do believe Chard - 83 A bit sloppy in parts Mr Potter - 83 He was disappointed with that. DSPUK - 83 B) Good stuff, Dave. Good to chat again. NickyT - 79 Bit like me, dropped some that should have been in the bag Magman - 78 Not a bad performance, considering he puked after the first stand :lol: Saw Beretta and Jko there, but don't know what they got. We did better in the raffle Anni won a lock knife (in a Police comp - go figure) Mr Potter won 2 prizes :o A very fetching woolly hat and a multi blade pen knife Watch out Wall Street Edited March 25, 2010 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 What do you mean good stuff -- I ducked stand 13 Duh! - I think it was my age as tomorrow will reveal Well shot SOP and Anni - rest of us better get some practice in.

jko Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Well shot guys, I started badly, shot top stands cold, only me and my 2 mates, only seeing a pair then straight in, only dropped 1 clay on last 4 stands (stands 1 to 4) finnished on a 80!

Chard Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 As the Police shoot in teams, they let the guests enter teams of 5 as well. We entered as Team Pigeon Watch (Anni, Chard, NickyT, JKO, Magman) and our scores couldn't have been too shabby at 89, 83, 80, 79, 78 Highlight of the day :lol: While we were waiting about 45 minutes to shoot one of the later stands NickyT started juggling 3 cartridges, a good exercise for concentration. I have to say I was impressed. Then Scott Barnett came over and dropped a penny at his feet busker stylee and said well done Oh how we laaarfed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
