I was going to go to Rufforth or Thimbleby first, but can't be bothered with either now. I bet Steve's knees were knocking on that last bird!

beretta Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 tough shoot by the sounds of things then. well shot ian looks like you were in the money then didnt realise we had a 'Mersyside mafia' as well :o still think the mancs have the edge though as being the most frightening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian E Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks Brian oh yes there are 5 of us now Well we only had to take one look at chard soaked to the skin and swearing like a trooper, and the Merseyside boys made a quick exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzurri Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Well that was a long way to go to see so many long faces, plenty of edge on testy birds today, I think we got a little lucky with the weather shooting the first 9 stand before the rain started, we had the last 3 stands by the farm house left to shoot. The rain let up a little so what should of been maybe 20 mins of shooting in light rain turned into an hour standing around waiting for the to fix the traps :( The rabbit stand ran out if petrol mid way thru which was quickly dealt with, but the que was pretty big as the simo pair stand had been broken down for some time. After much waiting and swapping of traps and mucho skin soaking rain, I couldnt see a bloody thing as my glasses were full of water I really must get myself a cap !! (insert sponsorship logo here) Me 67 let at least 5 away I shouldn't, which put me 1st in C Class when I left, but there were still a few cards to come in 63 for Dave Walker 55? Chris Ellis And I won't mention Keiths in public else he will kill me I think a lot of people just gave up trying half way around, good targets on the whole good refereeing, just a shame about the break downs, and was that 3 pair on report of the same White bird dropping down the bank all about someone stuck for ideas ? Next outing for the Merseyside mafia on the 24th ! Perhaps it was the rain that caused the 'long faces',can't have been the targets Okay so it was the toughest 100 at Wolds i've shot for a long time but the targets were great and presented with different speeds and angles.The farthest targets were down the dale but all shootable I think the trouble for most of us was that we were outsmarted by clever target setting that you just don't see everywhere these days If the white 3 pair stand was just on flat land you'd murder every one of them,certainly fooled me twice I managed 3rd in AA with a very damp 80 but considering the targets and having to use fibres i'm fairly pleased with that.H/G was Andy Beal with a well shot 86 Got to say 'Well Done' to Nicky T,a really good score today,especially as it was his first visit p.s Ian you did win your class,well shot Give Wolds a call and they should send your winnings on to you Azzurri.

Chard Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I know B, didn't you tell 'em Wolds was Old School Azzurri. I agree there was nothing there that wasn't hittable. I was going good till the rain started and again when it stopped It was the 6 stands in the rain in the middle that ****** me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
