Shooting with LB.


Cranfield

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I shot an 80 bird Sporting layout at Canterbury with LB, Sam and Sid.

 

The confidentiality agreement I was made to sign prevents me from giving any other details.

I believe LB has sold the exclusive rights to a national shooting magazine.

 

The day was cloaked in secrecy, from LB arriving late by a roundabout route, to ensure he wasn't being followed, me being blindfolded at every stand and the other two shooters using false names.

It was a strange, surreal experience. ;)

 

Its about 40 years (very little lad) since I was last at Greenfields, Canterbury and I was very impressed.

Coffee at £1 a cup was a bit steep, but at least it tasted like real coffee.

If you go there with LB, you get a discount on the price of a round of shooting.....................something to do with the Care in the Community Project, I believe. ;)

LB is the lazy mans way of referring to lurcherboy. ;)

 

nttf, all I can say is that it was a special kind of clay discipline that I am not too familiar with.

Apparently, the object is to miss the clays, this is considered good.

LB insisted on keeping all the cards while we went round and Sid accused him of altering the names on the cards so much, it was difficult to know whose card was whose.

 

Me, not knowing much about clay shooting, remained blissfully ignorant of any shenanigans. ;)

LB, why, after sending you a how too video, do you still have trouble with the clays, my last suggestion is to stand a lot closer to the house shoot it then call pull,,,,,,,,,,, if you do it quick enough no-one will notice :unsure: :)

 

dont let em all pick on you, dont invite em back................. :lol::oops:

LB was also wearing a T-Shirt that said, "Clays deserve to live" , I didn't feel that was really entering into the spirit of things. :lol:

 

It was a most enjoyable morning and one I intend to repeat, as soon as get a book and learn all the rules.

I never knew you should cough and sneeze loudly, move the cage and play the bagpipes, while someone was shooting.

The other rule about calling "no bird" everytime you missed a pair and getting them both again, was a new one on me.

The fact that all the trappers seemed to be related to LB, was also rather disturbing. :unsure:

 

So much to learn and so little time. :)

Cranfield, I feel I ought to fully explain the rules to you as it was rude of me not to brief you beforehand and of course to apologise :unsure:

 

The rules

 

1. You must turn up late. There is no excuse for punctuality and this is a big faux pas.

2. Always order the biggest breakfast that is available on the menu. No need to explain this one to you I'm sure.

3. Now this one is very important so please take note. The object of clay pigeon shooting is to miss. Yes thats right, miss. If you can't do this you will quickly become a social pariah.

4. To win you have to miss the most clays and thats why you came last. It's not clever to hit more clays than anyone else and will result in you shooting on your own in the future.

 

Sid and Sam are not sure about you coming again but I will work on them as I feel guilty for not explaining the rules. I will also remind them that they too use to hit clays until I showed them the light.

 

Anyway, I hold no grudges, you were just out of your depth.

I think anyone is welcome and I'm sure that LB will publicise the next outing .......as he intends to sell tickets. :unsure:

 

My wife asked how I had got on and I had to honestly tell her I wasn't sure.

The really embarrassing bit was, when I had to explain we had shot so few, that they didn't even give us a brace to take home. :)

All and sundry are welcome provided they abide to the rules :thanks:

 

Lose your botle Mr Cavie :lol:

No LB I didn't lose my bottle. I am tired of always coming "LAST" :unsure: :yes::yes::lol: No to be honest I forgot all about it.

I have recently changed jobs and do not have internet access at work. It is like living in the dark ages. Still I am leaving there next friday to start yet another new job. The 3rd in as many months.

 

Next time I'll give you a run for your money. On the large breakfast thing at least :lol:

That just about sums it up LB.

 

:thanks: :unsure: :yes::yes::lol:

 

What part don't you agree with? I do have the memory of a goldfish. Who are you again. or that I can eat more than you?

 

I saw you at Bisley remember. The snack bar had to close after you had been there as they had a bacon shortage. :lol::lol::P

 

They had plenty of tea though as Snotty threw his back at them.

The tea throwing competition was a classic and I hope Snotty comes back to defend his title next year :thanks:
