Mr Potter Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not a big thing for 'u' guys but it was for me , new to this i am 4th time ive picked up a shotty was my 2nd attemp at skeet ever. managed a 21/25 That's an excellent score for your 2nd go at skeet and 4th go with a shotgun. You better sign on for the N v S charity shoot cos if you progress at that rate you'll wipe all our eyes Keep it up Mr Potter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markio Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Wish I hadn't ******* bothered. I shot like an absolute ***, it was like somebody else was waving the gun about Same here. Disgraceful 29x50, and that was a miracle. Lots of low scores today but it just wasn't that hard a shoot. I simply missed loads of stuff i wouldn't normally have a problem with. Shocker. If i had the energy i'd sulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzurri Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Well it was nearly Billy no mates for me at Shugborough today, not a PW member that I know of in sight. I've asked the wife to get me some deodorant cos I'm not due my next bath till April :o :o :o Any way shot half the course on my own and jumped on with a group of (non PW) mates for the remaining six stands. Usual stuff for Shugborough, I only go about 4 or 5 times a year and even I'm getting to know the targets. Shot a 90 but there was already a 91 in A class (I keep getting knocked back by ex AA class shooters!!) so best I can hope for is a 2nd place. Fauxdegla for me next week, weather permitting, I perhaps would have done Kegworth but I'm booked on there for the East Midlands FITASC comp later in the month. Mr Potter Not a bad club to be in Mr P,well shot My mates were stuck in a mid 70's time warp today, glad they weren't wearing Flares and Tank Tops Although one of them does own a Zip up Cardigan :yp: Seriously, the shoot was tricky and to shoot your Class Average was a good result To shoot 1 more target on each stand really would get things up to date Azzurri.

timps Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I found I am not a fan of remote control racing car loudspeaker systems, definitely cost me a few clays lol. I did not shoot any stands badly but did not excel either. Shot the quieter back section of the course a lot better and started to get into my stride but damage of mediocrity had already set in. I got an A class score so cannot complain too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustem Dave Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Me, NickyT and Timps made the long trek to Longridge today Wish I hadn't ******* bothered. I shot like an absolute ***, it was like somebody else was waving the gun about Nick didn't do much better. Timps did OK, but I felt that he wasn't even shooting to his full potential. I was a bit disappointed with the course too, load of edge on R-L followed by edge on L-R etc etc few teal, few more teal, few edge on L-R, then R-L Scores on the doors : Timps - 75 Well (ish) shot chap. NickyT - 68 Chard - 64 Load of cock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I take it long ridge wasn't that good then,i nearly went there myself,but had a day off from shooting??? It was OK Dave. Can't blame the course, I was just disappointed with it. It was the first registered shoot I'd shot there and because of the "Extreme Sporting" shoot recently, I think I'd put the ground on some kind of pedestal and was expecting some bewildering array of targets, but it seemed a bit samey. That's not why I shot badly though, should have cleaned up most of that stuff. Just made a raggy job of it. I got 9/10 on one stand, the rest were all pretty ropey. I had no major disasters, just threw too many away. Unfortunately, It's just too far to go for those kind of targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSPUK Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Jeeze - you boys are keen - Longridge is a long way for me and I am 50 miles closer than you guys at least - I felt same today - seems like I wasted my money and diesel and that was just to my local club.

Dave Yes, my thoughts entirely, I've shot Longridge a few times but it's a heck of a journey, just not worth the effort. Anyway, I heard on the grapevine that Martin Myers shot a 100 straight at Hornet today, that's pretty good going, even for a sheep s hagger...!! Cat.

Nicky T Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Had a very pleasant shoot round the revamped Manchester Clay Shooting Club today with Ainsley and Whiskymac Over the last two weeks they must have added at least 6 new stands with the same again planned over the coming month - looks like things are shaping up well for the GMP Police shoot there on 28th April Nice to bump into Peter Manley and his wife shooting there - good to see the Coniston crew out and about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
