Catamong Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I've booked in to shoot on the Saturday at 9.00am, I reckon it will be a good but hard shoot, (as a World Championship should be..?? :blink: ). One thing I can't get my mind around is the squadding. Everyone's shooting in squads of 6, under the dreadful (and now discredited) CPSA method of "double squadding", i.e. 12 shooters do a shotgun start at every stand. We're shooting the 100 bird layout over 15 stands, which takes quite a time, yet the next squads are due to start at 11.00, I just can't see how that will happen, there's no way we're gonna get around in anything like 2 hours..??

Cat. As far as i know its single squadded, you will have probably seen 30 squads going out over 1 period of time, but this will be over the two courses as far as im aware, therefore 15 squads per 100 bird layout.

EdSolomons Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 On on 11am Saturday, look forward to seeing you there rob! Hope it goes well; steve/ally put a lot in and normally set a cracking round- just hope they have been left to do what they do best without too much meddling from elsewhere if you know what I mean.

OddJob Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm going to pop along and watch as I'm only 5 minutes away that weekend. If anyone fancies a pint on the Sunday, The Puesdown Inn is only 5 mins away, might be nice to put some faces to names, or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're quite right...I stand corrected... I should have studied the "Squad Rotation" section on the website.. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ed, yes, will no doubt see you there, just make sure you have an early night on the Friday, as I've recently put a grand on with Paddy Power at 5 to 1 for you to be placed in the top 3 overall,............I know your track record in that part of the Country....

EdSolomons Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I hope I don't disappoint! The main aim is team gold for us but I wouldn't say no to an individual medal if I got lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denniswebb Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yes i will be there , increadably i made the team, i dusted down the old skeet vest and i cannot believe it, its shrunk, i have had to order a new one. Just come back for the Dutch Grand Prix, cracking shoot the best of the year. I am on the same time as Ed, must be an England thingy, all boys together. I have Graham Stiraker and Arnie Palmer as the other team mates and strongly relying on them to pull my scores up. I am still coming to terms with the fact of making both the World and Home Internationals teams.....i never expected this, i am a fitasc shooter. Its been quite a shock.

Mr Potter Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I'm down on the Wednesday for the sportrap, staying overnight and shooting the FITASC on the Thursday. Pockets aren't deep enough unfortunately to stay a further 3 nights and do the prelim sporting and the main event. Good luck to Ed, Dennis and all the teams. Mr Potter Hope the organisers have got the correct flag if there is a suprise Korean win :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
