scaffman73 Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi LG Whats the score on cartridges felt plastic any limit on weight or shot size i know some grounds have limits on Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Scaffy Competition rules for Clays state 28g cartridges or under in weight and number 7s or higher for shot size i belelive. Plastic wads are fine at Steve Smiths I guess you can use what the heck you want shot size so if you have some 30g pigeon cartridges i won't tell if you dont I use 28g of 7.5s on DTL and ABT and SKEET but i know a lot of guys use 9s for Skeet.

Lord Geordie Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 I will have a drive about there on Tuesday and find a Pub and let you know Get one of the lads to try shooting left handed and watch as THEY nearly fall on their butt I tried it the other week for the first time (i am not small i have a fair bit of weight) and it STILL made me stagger. My mate is a well built lad too and HE near ended up on his backside. Great fun LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darebear Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 scaffy made a good point. i might as well come along and watch you lot, rather than meet you at the pub afterwards. else if i drive up im not gonna be able to have a drink. duh. blonde roots showing. anyways, i could do with the laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I will have a drive about there on Tuesday and find a Pub and let you know White Swan just down the road, The Badger just down the road from there. You could go up to the Highlander on the old Pont road. Loads of choice round there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I know the Badger but thats quite a drive from the grounds The Swan is just the other end of Dinnington Villiage so closer Not familiar with the other one though as i say i will have a root about and see whats where. I can sample the ales too LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darebear Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 how utterly sad. i cant believe im actually getting rather excited (the pub bit, not watching a bunch of male ego's trying to hit a clay target). i think i'll bring the video camera so i can prove to the rest of the members what a useless bunch of shots you lot are.

Lord Geordie Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Darebear What a smahing idea We can use the humiliation of the Video as a kind of jab up the backside to better our shots for future events Should be heaps of fun anyway LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
