I have to admit I don' t recall moaning at you at various times in the past, please feel free to refresh my memory and I'll happily start moaning all over again.

Graham Elliott Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) I shot the layout yesterday (3pm start). We finished at around 4:45! Only some slight waiting at a few stands, and because it was mainly 3 pairs, we got around in super-fast time. The venue's facilities (1st time there for me) were excellent, with a good selection of food available. Although it chucked it down with rain, and with very windy conditions, the ground was still mud free - a bonus! As a total novice (C class) shot, I found the majority of layouts to be extreemly difficult. I was fortunate enough to have 2 AAA shots, and 1 AA shot in the same squad as me, all of which commented on the difficulty of the stands (Okay, I did straight 1 stand - whoo-hoo!) but blanked 1 Stand 12 was a nightmare (for me, anyhow) Sim-pair off the high tower - with the wind taking the targets into the next County - same for all I suppose, but a real wrist-slasher for the novice shot. Some very low scoring results so far (Including some A & B class shooters under 35!) so I suppose, a 49 was sort of - ok Off to lick my wounds now, and retrieve my gun from the lake! Best of British!

figgy Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 A mid nineties will be more than enough on those targets Scores are usually up on CPSA site in the evening Tough course looking at the results so far, you beat a fair few AAA shots Azzuri. Some very poor scores from top shots. I'm glad I never bothered with this one, the lads I usually shoot with didn't do well, one to forget about scores quickly. Was it just a tough layout or had the setter gone mad. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrapFiller Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 It was a tearing layout. Nothing that couldn't be hit. I struggled with one target on stand 5 which was a right to left, killed them but couldn't touch the battue that followed it. Other than that they were there for the taking. I finished on 53.

SirDread Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 1pm squad yesterday. Weather was abysmal. Worst weather I have shot in. I was total soaked through by the second stand. Targets were challenging and a score of 91 is well worthy of collecting first prize, well done to Adam. Ladies jnr did well also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Shot a 61 at the English Open today with the new gun on it's 3rd outing so not too concerned. It was a very tough shoot and exceedingly blustery.I shot the stands11 through to 1 with multiple losses and then seemed more and more comfortable with the gun for the last 7 or 8 stands with only dropping about12, shame i couldn't have another go..Full credit to the worthy winners. from Auntie.

100milesaway Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 What are you shooting with now Auntie? I hope you haven't ditched Miroku power. Gone back to the trustee Berettas. The Mk38's which i had two of were just too long and heavy for me, so bit the bullet and did a trade in for a 29 and a half inch adjustable stock Beretta 682 Gold E .Much lighter and more manoverable for my old arms.I hope to recover my scores which were about15% down on when i was shooting my best, I know that i will never be as good as before due to the years and obviously fatigue but never say never. from Auntie.

PhilR Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Good luck with the Beretta, swapping from my 29.5" light barreled Perazzi to a 32" barrel heavy Miroku has transformed my shooting in the last year and the reverse can do the same for you too.

I like how the Beretta feels and points. Good shooting. After a chat with the lads today the very bad weather is what made the course tough and sun in eyes on some targets.

If you aren't a member of it perhaps it'd be worthwhile joining them. As I made mention of before they've got categories in the English Open OT at Nuthampstead next month. They've got sponsorship from Edgar Brothers too. With regard to the Pull! entry form an email of complaint to Nick Fellowes from you might focus his attention. I know you can enter on line from the CPSA website and may have had the disabled categories included on that if a decision was made after Pull! went to press.

shaun4860 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Quick questions Why have some people won by default and why are some scores unresolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Quick questions Why have some people won by default and why are some scores unresolved? Normally if there's two people tied and one person remains at the ground and the other has left the ground then the person who remained wins by default. In the case of multiple people tied then it's not simple to determine in which order they should be placed especially if none of them are at the ground and able to shoot off. Don't forget that this event was shot over four days, the guys in AAA tied on 88 could reasonably expect their scores to be beaten under normal conditions. They may live at the other end of the country to the shoot, and to turn up again at the shoot on the final day on spec that they may have won their class is unrealistic I believe. In an event where people are competing over the course of several days (i.e. 200 targets and 2 days), or just on one day, come to that and they leave before shoot offs are announced then they deserve to lose by default, IMHO of course.
