paulos Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Well shot to the Shugbuggerers Although don't get complacent, because North Wolds will be a different kettle of fish! I had a change today and shot the British Open Handicap By Distance at Bywell. There are no class prizes for this, as shooters are squadded according to their DTL classification and shoot from 17 yards (C Class), 19 yards (B Class), 21 yards (A Class) and 23 yards (AA Class). Prizes go to the top 8 overall. I did a 96/280 which had me in joint 8th place overall, so I was in a four-way shootoff with Ian Ainsley, Jack Thompson and Nigel Chapman. I lost out to Nigel Chapman, who did an excellent 24/71 in the shootoff Bit of fun, but now looking forward to a day of sportrap and sporting next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a 100 bird sporting and 4 man flush at Marne yesterday for a grouse syndicate from cumbria. Some decent scores in with John Ord shooting as a guest on high gun with 93 and our Steve second on 91. (Didnt get chance to have a go round myself) Few lads from Spenny were there. They had a team in full of regular clay shooters but only managed second. Good day out for all!!

Salopian Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I went to Fauxdegla this afternoon, not been for a long time. What a change! Brilliant weather, clubhouse and targets. Mike Merrington & staff need to be congratulated on the wonderful work they are doing there. What a change from the dereliction that was there before Mike Faux took over. Mike Faux deserves a public thank you from all us shooters. How nice to see Cheshire's John Barnett there, I remember my grandad sitting me on his knee and telling me how good John Barnett was in the 1950's Obviously old men shoot Trap, not like his son Scott.

Nicky T Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Crikey there are some monster scores in from Shugborough on Sunday.

Iggy Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Shot Kingsley yesterday, never shot there before but it seemed quite tough and I ended up on a 62. Very nice ground though. Anyone else make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Managed to sneak out and shoot the second round of the members knockout comp at MCSC today against Roman (Mark) off of here Shot a 90 today, and out of the 10 that got away i'm only kicking myself about 4 of them . Mark shot a very steady 81, and full credit to him beat me fair and square in the comp All in all a very pleasant round with Mark, Andrew and John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once again I apologise for the size of my handicap It's Beretta's fault; my handicap was perfectly valid until he got his hands on me; now I can't help shooting much better! A very enjoyable day, you guys were great to shoot with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 well shot mark :good: :good: unlucky nick it is hard though shooting against someone with a big handicap as even if you straighted it you can still get beat but credit to mark for a good score. :good: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Me and Timps just got back from a blowy and showery Derbyshire County Championships at Shugborough. We both shot badly, missing loads of easy rubbish and hitting the hard ones. We still ended up on 80 (me) and 81 (Timps) so good enough to help get me back out of B Class, but we weren't in the money Edited July 17, 2011 by Chard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxus Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Really enjoyed the shoot today with Nick, John and Mark (although I would have liked it more if I shot five more targets to beat John) - need to talk to Brian about hitting those high driven birds which fooled me for the second day in a row. Great watching Nick putting a good score together, and not being put off by the 22 :blink: shots he had to give to Mark :yp: - that handicapp won't last another month so I suggest IanE gives it a little while before shooting the next round.
