MC Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Wonder if the Cat will come along..... :yp: I probably won't bother.. clays for me are as dull as dishwater - but each to their own Should anyone fancy a Herts range day (Bisley etc) then let me know I doubt it, unless they are offering huge cash prizes.

Most of the local keepers give it a go so it can't be that bad I may pop back for it but will depend how many days shooting I've had that week what with it being the end of the season and a few cock days to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most targets were 35+ yards and a good mix. Shooting down on the rabbit in the valley followed with a low crosser was a good test, wasn't it Ben.... Plenty of the syndicate shots and keepers were there this weekend. And it's not just about the shooting, is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I got the low down on a few of the scores as there was a little jesting going on between beaters on Monday. I usually find one stand there to completely balls my score up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I doubt it, unless they are offering huge cash prizes. I've done my share of these "fun" shoots over the years, they're a good way for newbies to gain experience and move up to the next level, and as the current County Champion I really ought to support our fellow Herts shooters by going along. I can't make the 6th though, already got other plans. Shoot well guys. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakerboy Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have not shot clays for the best part of 9 months and that was the first time for nearly a year. I might have to feign a migraine or arrange an emergency telephone call, to save face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huffhuff Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 thats probably the Redcoats shoot run by pretty much the same people, you were under a mile from where they set the clays up Wouldn't have been Redcoats I don't think. They shoot on alternate Wednesdays, tomorrow is the next so wouldn't have been last week - especially not a Thursday. They only have the one drive that far up I think, and you wouldn't have seen the guns from the road. I think Thursdays are Mannings shoot...but could be wrong as I didn't think he went up there.

huffhuff Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Just a bump to remind all interested that the Almshoe Shoot will be going ahead on Sunday. It'll be an extra hard day if this wind keeps up (just getting the excuses in first)... If you've not been before, jolly good shoot - well layed out. It's nice and safe, plus there are bacon sarnies, tea and coffee on site. Probably a 50/60 bird sporting (£12ish) and starts at 10. Good local pubs for drinkies after... Almshoebury Farm.

huffhuff Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Apparently somebody turned up after we had gone on Sunday. Apologies whoever it was that came from Cambridge. I hope you enjoyed the shoot - you're lucky, you had the main man as your trapper! This weekend - short notice. 13th February - Maulden Gun Club www.mauldengunclub.com/location.aspx I'd imagine this is a 10:00am start! huffhuff (Ben) twitchynik (Nik) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
