jko Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yep, well done guys, looks like me, Magman,and Chard are the Big Daddys out of our shooting group! I want to see tomorow at Kingsley more reverance from you chaps towards us, instead of the usual merciless barracking! shown to us elder statemen like figures who are looked upon with awe by lesser shooters elswhere I suppose you chaps will want autographed photo's of us now. which is a bit annoying but Im'e sure we will cope!!

100milesaway Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 The course sounds as good as the usual cracking Hodnet tasty titbits. I'm going to bed now as i have to get up at 3-30am to make sure i get there for 8 bells. I'll report back when i get back at god knows what time. Really looking forward to this one . from Auntie. and well shot to all you who have shot it allready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 well the wheels fell off and i dropped 4 stupid birds on the last 2 stands :( ended up on a 91 which im still fairly happy with. Top darts sir Well the dummie has gone back in now so here is what i thought Great targets today and well run Not alot there 1/4 won't kill if not all Well done all that shot it and would be great to see something similar for the north south meet But Claybuster Miroku trap 3/4 & full that's a hell of a score for using the said gun ( smoking clays or a clean miss ) Glad i shot this and it being my first big one i didn't do too bad , i think :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well, that's the beauty of Hodnet, not a single trap is visible, a completely natural setting, and it catches most people out, (including the "experts"). There is no finer ground for Sporting clays in England, let's hope for decent weather on the 29th so we can all have a great time. Cat.

Mr Potter Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 well the wheels fell off and i dropped 4 stupid birds on the last 2 stands :yp: ended up on a 91 which im still fairly happy with. Emmsy, to say the wheels fell off after shooting a 91 (and leading A class by 3 birds) is somewhat of an exaggaration. That is fantastic shooting by any standand over that course against the best shooters in the UK. If you want to know about wheels falling off I will give you a masterclass, we started on Stand 3 and when I dropped the first bird of the last of the 4 pairs I knew i was in for one of those days!! After 4 stands (30 birds) I was 4 down, OK if I can keep this up I'll finish on 85 which would have more than suited me but it wasn't to be, looks as though I followed Chard's script and missed a ruck of birds on the pathway at the top of the shoot. We finished on Stand 2, 4 simultaneous pairs of L to R loopers which I straighted and even when I shoot badly like I feel I did today, I'm always chuffed to kill up on the last stand. Overall I thought it was a good shoot not a great shoot, no-one was beaten by distance although a few targets looked a very long way off when they were killed they were hit hard not just broken in two. Didn't like the very quick simo pairs on the driven stand trick shooting for us older less supple shooters but I was beaten by myself today complacent on what looked "easy", relaxing after I'd killed the first pair out the usual stuff from an incompetent halfwit So to sum up, brilliant shooting Emmsy, I think only Cat could snatch the PW HG from you, the rest of us I'm sure feel as if we could (and should) have done better. It wasn't a real comp anyway, the PW N v S shoot now that's the one we can't afford to relax on Mr Potter PS Re my post regarding the loos, they must have read my mind the last time I was there cos they've changed the portaloos for the Rolls Royce version, I expected to see a palm court trio playing soothing music in the corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted May 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Yes, well shot Emmsy, you've obviously pulled your socks up a bit since the last time I saw you at Hodnet...!! You'll certainly get a draw from that result, so now you've got no excuses for not supporting the PW event that's coming up soon. See you on the 29th, God knows, we need a few who can shoot. Cat.

Chard Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Fantastic shooting, Emmsy I suspect there'll be a lot more A's on your classification soon Shoot well tomorrow, Cat. Let's 'ave a biggun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenG Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Well done to Beretta who won the big shoot of the day (today). even bigger than the English Open at Hodnet Forget Mr Digweed, Mr Lee, etc. he shot with the best shooters Britain can muster, and overcame great odds (sub-sonic cartridges) to end up as overall high gun. Hope we taught you 'how not to shoot' Brian.. As to your generous gesture of giving away your massive winnings to charity, we can only salute you..

I Would love a signed Photo of you boys A few photo's about the size of the Pattern plate at Doveridge will do thanks And even better if you could have 100 made about 6"x6" inches square rolled round a short peace of cardbord tube, would be smashing Magmans not an elder statesman either :( he's only 22 :yp: he just had a hard paper round.

DSPUK Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) After yesterday Sunday morning here is just glorious -- blue sky - warm and sunny. I am sure you Saturday lads could have added a few more X to your cards if you shot today. Going to look at Hodnet web site and see if Tom is doing a Saturday re-run of English sometime in future. Dave ps -- Just looked and you can re-shoot English on Thursday 13th -- usually £40 which includes free tea and bacon bap followed by meal after shoot.

magman Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 No news from cat yet perhaps he is staying over till the north south meet just to make himself a northerener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 If they are leaving it on until the 13th then it looks likely that a few of the stands will be left on for the Norf v Sarff....which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
