Famous people

[Pedro]

I'm sure I've just seen a well known shooter, (does the clays masterclass in Sporting Shooter), on my local clay shoot near Chelmsford.

 

I know he's not famous, but it did get me wondering if any of you have seen any famous types whilst out shooting.

 

By the way, didn't get to see him shoot, but he was wandering around pointing at the sky quite a bit

 

(I know, working out the trajectory etc. ).

ive seen and shot with him several times now as i go to his local clay ground (hawley nr. brands hatch) not sure what i think of the man, he's a bit up himself, but he has good reason to be

[dazza]

Talked to Chris Tarrant while out fishing

See Peter Jackson, no not the film director,Huddersfield Town FC Manager nearly every other day as he lives 500 yrads from me. I see most of the band Embrace fairly regular as they are local lads

Well i got a shock one day in Wark in Keilder i woke up and got out of my tent to see a Couple and their kids pitching tent. I looked at them and thought "I know them from somewhere"

 

Anyway morning after we packed up (as were they) and i walked to the farmhouse to pay for the pitch and the bloke asked if i could help start his MPV as they left the Lights on all night in the tent and drained the battery.

 

Then SHE popped her head round the car to say hello.

 

It was Victoria Wood

 

I couldn't beleive it.

 

Her last words were (please dont tell anyone )

 

And here is me telling YOU the story

I'm pretty sure Vinnie jones (sp?) does a bit of shooting during the pheasnt season around my way with a rich building contractor (mr murfitt) who has lots of shooting land (covers ect). I did hear a rumor that on a shoot earlier this year that mr murfitt sacked the gamekeeper because poor vinnie didn't get a shot all day, but personaly i can't see it being true . If it is true though i bet that 'keeper was not happy

Vinnie has become chairman of the gamekeepers association of whatever the proper name is. He is a very keen shooter and keen to get involved in the behind the scenes aspects so I am led to believe.

Vinne Jones has also shot on one of my local shoots, not met him but heard he is a fair shot.

 

I personally would rather meet Madonna, who also is supposed to be a very good shot.

[Mungler]

Frank Lampard last week at my local clay ground. Turned up in a brand new penis red Ferrari.

 

Well, he didn't recognise me, so I blanked him.

didnt she turn anti though or was that another one of the 'stars'

[Elma Fud]

I've met Richard Faulds on a number of occassions He beats and picks up on my local estate.

 

Don't think much of the bloke myself.

[digger]

i`ve loaded for jackie stewart (ex racing driver for those too young to remember ).

a good shot,good tipper and a nice bloke.had the misfortune to have mr digweed in the same line as me on a driven shoot just outside brighton ( the day was a thankyou from a rich client ).i say misfortune as on one drive i was back gunning and hardly had a shot and on the last of the day he was back gun with no fixed posistion.sod put himself right behind me :*)

didnt leave him much but i felt like the eyes of the world were on me.a nice bloke who enjoys his sport for the day not the amount.

[plexer]

Past couple of seasons on father-in-laws beat they've had Vinnie. The first year we had to keep it all hush hush in case of anti's.

 

They also used to have Martin Brundle regularly but not soo much recently.

AHHHHHHHH yes, I have also heard of that Z list celebrity. Last time I heard he had gone vegan to promote a healthier lifestyle to all of his 4 fans and now lives off nothing but grass and daffodils plus the occasional daisy.

Hi,

 

Yes Nick, her husband apparently is a fanatical game shot and she was enyoying shooting until she winged a Pheasant.

Did some loading on corporate days at The Royal Berks Shooting School after my last back operation.

 

On the Aston Martin Day, 25 balloons were released from the back of a crewcab pick up and Richard Faulds had to shoot them as they sailed away. each one shot was £1,000 for charity.

 

To say the last two were stratospheric is an understatement, but he still hit one of them.

 

24 ex 25 shot.

 

Awesome display!!!!!!!!!!

 

Rob.

 

Also have Vinnie Jones, Mike Smith and his wife Sarah Greene, Bernard Cribbins, Jackie Stewart and HRH Charlie shoot there on Really Wild days.
