dunganick Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) As some of the more seasoned members will remember i used to arrange an annual trip to West Kent Shooting School to take part in one of their 'Monday Madness' days. The day basically involves paying a very reasonable fee (i will check how much it is now before committing to a price), but it included a cooked breakfast and basically all you can shoot for a day. I think we have shot up to about 200 birds in a day previously, you go around with a coach, and while it isn't a coaching session they do offer tips. Previously i think you could have up to 3 teams of 6 shooters. If we booked 3 teams we would have the entire site to ourselves. Traditionally we did this in October, however as i cant be bothered to wait until then, how about march/april once the weather improves a little. Who is interested? An outing for the lately lesser-spotted Essex mafia? EDIT - wrong section, could some kind person put it in the meetup section Edited January 5, 2011 by dunganick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Yep I'm in. Game season will be over and I will be at a loose end for shotty shooting. We should give some thought to some competitions. Getting everyone round a 100 bird set up is likely to soak up the best part of the day. I would suggest talking to the ground owner and settling on them picking 6 of the toughest stands and agreeing in advance how the stand will be shot e.g. on report or sim pair, and making it a 70 bird max competition. Once the stand numbers are known and how the targets are to be thrown I will print the cards - this ought to stop the usual of everyone the competition over about 22 different stands and half pulling sim pairs and the other half pulling singles. Then there should be a 50 bird comp for SBS, pump actions and anything else that amuses... Edited January 5, 2011 by Mungler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once i get a day booked with them you can book your coaching session for the Friday before But yes its always good fun to have a competition, Bisley was always a good laugh for that.
