Lord Geordie Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Shot **** on Skeet today i am afraid Scores were so terrible it's an embarrasment to advertise them! NOT one of my better days i really need to practive more than once a fortnight and stick to 1 gun as i tend to chop and change which i think is partly my problem Back on Tuesday and i am sticking with the O/U Will let you know how it goes on Tuesday.

MC Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Mungler, since when has a Berretta 682 gold e been a basic berretta? isn't it one of their top flight clay guns? As for not having the Blaser, that is just an excuse. what on earth could want servicing on it? I feel you are down to lose BIG STYLIE As for me I am having trouble missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProteuS Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Shot the British Universities nationals this weekend at the west midlands shooting ground. got a respectable 42ex50, the rest of my team didn't fare quite so well. Ended up heading off for a drink and to watch the rugby. Found out yesterday i got the high gun, and missed the presentation ceremony . There may still be a chance of getting my medal though.

Catamong Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Proteus, Shame on you, not being there for the presentation - did you not realise you could be up for High Gun..?? West Midlands is a super ground, IMHO probably the best ground for Sporting targets in England. I must say it's very quiet on here today, we're all missing Pin's 118 average daily posts, let's hope they're having a good time at Lakenheath, and nobody's shot down a low flying F15, blue on blue, friendly fire etc, give the Yanks back a bit of what they're so good at dishing out to others. I reckon they should be back in the clubhouse by now, tucking into the burgers, and getting ready for the lap & pole dancers with everybody saying, "If only..!!". Cat.

NorfolkBoy Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I checked out the Lakenheath website and can confirm that they were offering up some very sporting birds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProteuS Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Cat, I thoguht i'd done ok but didnt consider that i'd got the high gun as 6 of my 8 misses were due to not concentrating / trying to take a bird very late. It's certainly the nicest ground i've shot at, and they do put on some very varied clays, my only qualm with them as with most clay grounds is their simulation of game. Definately fun nonetheless! particularly the flurry they put on, although this year it was a little less interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Proteus, Unfortunately clays can never properly simulate Game Birds, because they don't twist and turn like the real thing. Anyway, I have to say well shot young man, do yourself a favour and check out the scores before you depart the ground, winning is a rare event for most of us, so make the most of it and savour the moment, instead of savouring a pint in the boozer watching England getting yet another drubbing..!!

mexican bob Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Spring skeet league began last evening. It all started well and went down in flames. Full of myself, I arrive with my trusty Browning BPS .410. Shoot a few games with some regulars and a new shooter arrives for game 3. Okay lots of instructions by all and oops her gun's not pointed downrange. Okay, Okay don't load until you're on the pad etc. etc. Other regulars leave after game 3. I thought slow pulls were fun at first. It started to get to me. I think I lost my mind somewhere around station 3. I was as pleasant as can be. I'm sure she'll be back. She had fun. Poor Bob - 22, 23, 24, 15 Ouch, my aching average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markio Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Fired my first shots of the year today and got a disappointing 20/50. Sadly i would have been pleased with 50% so this just reaffirms my want for a proper lesson. Anyone else out today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 I went out Rifle shooting at a local club where I had entered a Scottish Match, This is a competition shot at 100yds with .22LR target rifles. The course of fire is 3 rounds of 20 shots at 6 individual targets. Giving a total score out of 600. Round 1 88/100 Round 2 93/100 Round 3 87/100 Round 4 93/100 Round 5 95/100 Round 6 91/100 Aggregate score of 547/600, which puit me in second place in class C when I left at 2.30. There was 1 other person to shoot in class C when I left so I will be getting either a silver or bronze medal This was my first ever serious shoot outdoors so I am well chuffed. I had decided before I left home that if I averaged 85 over the 6 cards that would be plenty as the weather was horrible and it was my first time, so an average of 91.16666 is cool. I got soaked while shooting but I couldn't care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Local 25 bird sporting competition, I shot like a complete trumpet. 11ex25, blanked on the rabbit both stands of 5 rabbits, both full use. Conditions were terrible with driving rain in your face, no excuse though we all shot in the same weather, 20ex25 won it. One beretta and set of ported chokes for sale I did pick up a trophy and medal I won at the same club late last year so that wasn't so bad.

Suffolk shooter Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Seems the force is strong with you MC, Hommmmmmmmmm........................ be the Target, be the Target, be the target.................. Congrats mate, weathers been ****e all day, so you did well. Not quite the 99% average of the indoors, but in competition, good going by anyones standard. You'll have to teach me what this rifle malarky's all about one day. Can't quite see the total fascination with it just yet, but still enjoy going to Bisley anyway. Must do the Match class, Must do the Match class....... Be the Target aiming 37 foot above it Full Jedi training required for the 1000 yd range me thinks. SS :( Fired my first shots of the year today and got a disappointing 20/50. Sadly i would have been pleased with 50% so this just reaffirms my want for a proper lesson. Anyone else out today? Jesus Mark, why didn't you say we could have got you coming out with us to Wattisham or somewhere. I'd have come down Parkford if I'd known you hadn't fired a shot until the 3rd March :o Don't let this happen again, you're more than welcome to come with me where ever I go mate, or I'll come out with you. I'm no expert, but I can give little hints. Most importantly, you'll never improve if you don't get out there and shoot SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
