countryside lass Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Spoilt for choice this weekend!! Chalk Farm on Sat AND Sun and then Fair Clay Targets on Monday......only problem is that hard earned cash can only be spent once so have to work out which is best place to go. Chalk Farm is a newish venue and is a good site that is gaining experience and building up and expanding it's facilities all the time but is limited on stands and I hate queueing........FCT has a bigger range of targets due to having the increased number of stands and at £22 is better value for money for 100 birds........both places putting on that 'little bit extra' as it's Easter too so the usual pot hunters will probably go to both venues, but hey, they pay their money so deserve to win if they're better than everyone else but it's a bit disheartening for the recreational shooters who like to win something too just once in a while Hmmmm, .......might be the pub food included in the entry fee at FCT that 'swings it'.....as one famous supermarket says' Every Little Helps!'

countryside lass Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Can I just ask Breckland Sporter, I presume the layout for the practise day WILL be changed so it is different to that being used on the comp day.........?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brecklandsporter Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 They will be similar targets but we have to move traps and tractors back to base at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryside lass Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 So those who go on Sat will have an advantage on Sun over those that don't........?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC1990 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 just go to Hitclays sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brecklandsporter Posted March 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 So those who go on Sat will have an advantage on Sun over those that don't........?? Everyone shooting on competition days can enter more than once. Those practicing on Saturday should have no advantage over anyone going around twice on Sunday as they also will then know the layout. The reason behind offering the Saturday practice was hoping to spread the numbers over 2 days to reduce queing. We have been very busy on the other competition days and we thought this might benefit the shooters. Those we have mentioned a practice day to have reacted positively. The thing that bring the most complaints is long waits at the stations so we hope this will help address this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collectors Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Will definatly be at Hitclays on Monday at Watery Lane Beeston. The Xmass shoot was great laugh with large turn out of safe Guys & Girls at the shoot.The large amount of stands they put out saves a massive amount of waiting around on each trap when busy. (Keep it up guys)I even got a lucky turkey last time, after an Easter egg at this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryside lass Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Thanks for the reply Brecklandsporter, based on that it's a budget of £24-25 and min. 100 cartridges at Chalk Farm or £22 and min. 100 cartridges at Fair Clay Targets............yep, it's the pub food bonus at FCT that swings it then...........
