bakerboy Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) I shot Helice today for the first time, and what good fun it was. Yes it is a bit pricey at £1.20 per shot, plus cartridge. Does anyone fancy having a 25 bird day, on a Sunday, at the A1 Shooting Ground, Boreham Wood (3 minutes from end of the A1M, junction 23 of the M25 one Sunday morning? 5 practice targets and 20 in competition, we could have a little side bet. Let me know if you are interested. Terry PS Good food, bacon sandwiches etc and drinks readily available at all times.

Herr Plinker Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Hi Terry, I'm up for that. Must admit had never heard of it before but a quick look on Youtube and its looks like a great craic. Any Sunday apart from the first one of the month (Almshoe) is good for me. Vince.

Whitebridges Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've never shot ZZ and would love to have a crack. I'll see if I can get The Chimp to pay for the juice, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I've shot this before at the A1, it's great fun, if you are a competent pigeon shooter you won't embarrass yourself, just stick a bit more choke in than normal and shoot it the moment it appears out of the box. Pencil me in as a "possible", won't know for sure until the week before the event. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
