Lord Geordie Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Had a nice day! Set of this morning, with the weather report not looking too good. Forcast for rain and strong winds. Imagine how happy I felt when I woke this morning and looked out of the window to see it was perfectly DRY I jumped out of Bed hopped in the Bath and got dressed, and headed to the cupboard to get my Guns out. After a bit of faffing about I was ready to leave and once on the A1 South made good time. Upon arriving I saw a few familiar faces in the car park, heading for the club house. We decided to have a brew and a bite to eat before setting off. We split into 2 groups of 5 and Steve's other half did our score cards for Our group and I believe Mike did the other groups cards. Mikes group started at the far end of the lane and Our group started at the near end and the idea was to meet in the middle half way and have a natter before carrying on. The Group! Our team consisted of Myself, Lyn, Mark, Kirk and Steve Mikes team, Mike, Shaun, Mark, Joe and Shaun. Yes yes very confusing with 2 Shaun's and 2 Mike's :lol: :lol: We shot 100 sporting each and at the end of the day the top 3 were awarded a small trophy just as a reminder of the day. It turned out to be a VERY interesting Day with blustery winds causing some clays to flay off in numerous directions :lol: Add to that the confusion of neighboring clays passing in close proximity to ours and your left wondering which clay was yours :lol: We did well with the weather too! At one point it threatened to rain with a little band of rain showing up but it didn't last more than a few minuets and other than that it was quite a dry day. The day panned out as Follows!!! The Winners were 1st place with a score of 84! Kirk 2nd place with a score of 76! Steve 3rd place with a score of 70! Mike Lyn scored 68 Mark Matmer scored 63 Shaun Hogg scored 63 Shaun Gibson scored 62 I scored 52 Mark Elsworth scored 38 Joe Deeney scored 32 There is some Video which I shot of Our group which once I get sorted I will try and get a few snippets put up. I will also have some Photo's of the winners receiving their trophies, thanks to Steve's missus "Darebear" Once I have those I will get them hosted and put up too. I just want to take this opportunity to thank those who turned up today. It was nice to see new people and put faces to new names! Hopefully in future We can meet up again perhaps elsewhere and have another bash and maybe get a few more people to attend Edited June 23, 2012 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Great day out Lord Geordie thanks for organising it and i would also like to thank you again for providing the trophies very generous,looking forward to the next meet up and shoot. Good to put faces to names. The wind was bad at times as Lynne's gun barrels were blowing to and fro trying to shoot the far looper and some of the clays had some wonderful flight lines.Hope more of us can make the next one.

shaun4860 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Was nice to meet new people and put more faces to avatars..... I never knew steves missus was "Darebear"..... Totally agree with the wind, it was the wind that stopped me hitting that bloomin looper!!!! also my little 21g cartridges didnt quite reach that far, and my back was playing up (say nowt mike!) The wait for the bacon sarnies totally drained me causing me to miss one more than mark and shaun, have I mentioned my little 21g cartridges? Would be nice to do it again sometime, was fun, AND dry. Have I mentioned the wind and my little 21g cartridges causing me to miss one more than mark and shaun? Also like the fact that mark has changed his surname Great day Thanks Lord Geordie for organising it.

Joe Dont be so daft Joe.... I have got a perfectly good catapult you can borrow, even 21g will reach that high looper with that.

joe1978 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Catapult would be too high tech, maybe a peashooter after today's effort!! Just because me and Shaun decided to give the rest of you's bragging rights about that high lopper it makes us the better sports!!

figgy Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Some good shots on this forum swear by 21gram loads. Especially on anything 70 yards plus My son tried some and thought they were good, no different from 28 gram on usual Sunday local shoot hit it and it breaks. Some squad photo to be proud of there Mike, love your new shooting glasses. It's a shame the other chimp choker was (to busy tending to his new gun pigeon,should work a treat in the bouncer with its feet tied to the cradle) i mean away at a do.
