Markio Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Does anyone fancy it? Nothing major, i was hoping to work my way around their sporting course this at some point this week. Like i said, i'm free at any day this week so does anyone fancy a bacon roll and a casual shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk shooter Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 So Martin we're going on the 29th then are we??? Better let the Missus know then before the **** hits the fan, tell me in the morning when we're being battered by Force 10 winds and swells in the middle of the north sea after that huge shoal of Cod that sits off the Essex Coastline. :( By the way Markio, I hear your a professional beater now, not bad after your first trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 By the way Markio, I hear your a professional beater now, not bad after your first trip As in i got paid for it? They must have felt sorry for me, after all, i was the only one without a special chequered shirt. Seriously though, i was very surprised by it and did my best to turn it down but it didn't work.

You have the young lady Gun/beater (dependant on whether it was her or her partners turn that day) to thank for that mate. She told me she made the shoot captain put his hand in his pocket :( :o Glad somebodies getting something out of the *** (MC knows what I mean) SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I have been twice and not been paid for it, or get the extra for having a dog 29th is good for me but can we make it afternoon as I have started decorating :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Must have been down to my boyish good looks then. I'm still good for tomorrow, the afternoon is fine by me. What time do you want to meet? I'll suggest 1pm in the hut for a cuppa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I am down and in. Will see you there tomorrow for 1.00 p.m. Martin can go double or quits on that fiver he owes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffolk shooter Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Definately up for it. MC can you bring your .410 as I'd like to bring Jess with me and let her have ago Don't know about boyish good looks Markio, but against MC it's not much of a challange Quite agree with you MC about you and Merlin not getting paid, bad form really. But hey you've still managed to shoot there twice and god did we need somebody who could shoot, otherwise the bag would have been very low. I forgot to tell you that I sent Jess into the release pen on Boxing day just like you did with Merlin that first morning. Worked bloody well actually, although the Guns hidden from view couldn't work out why birds where flying back over them from behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 No worries SS I will bring the .410. Perhaps we should see if Mungler can hit that battue with it. That way he can prove it really is skill and not just hot air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markio Posted December 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Had a good afternoon, thanks guys. Good to meet you SS, and give Jess another kitkat for being such a good trapper, you tight plonker. Edit: it changed my word to plonker! Didn't know it did that!

MC Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 You're right Markio, a good afternoon had by all. Mungler and myself are now quits on the fiver front. I am claiming Victory today although no scorecards were used. Battues off the tower Mungler 0/10 Myself 6/10 :yp: :o (although he did hit one on his second attempt) Not normally one to gloat but I am going to milk this one Although he did beat me by one on skeet but I'll let him have that one as I was using his cartridges. Roll on the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, privaliges of being a dad, having cheap child labour She really enjoyed herself, thanks for bringing the .410 MC, shame she only had 6 shots whilst the rest of us finished the box. Kept saying all the way home, why did Mungler keep missing the easy ones dad :yp: She also said she couldn't see what the fuss was with that Battue I didn't even know she knew what it was called Seriously it was good to get out and have some fun, first time I've been out shooting clays since the monday madness day and was pleased to do well on most stands apart from the compact sporting and theat bloody battue. Markio, good to meet you mate, I felt I was in the prescence of the great Beater :o If you want to get out more on clays, then wait until the nights get longer and we'll meet up at Parkford during the week for a few rounds. Mungler, nice to see you again mate shame MC out did you on that battue, we'll never hear the end of it now. Cheers SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
