welshwarrior Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Richard Stick at it I stood on the peg next to a 93 year this season he just loved getting out. I also coach an 83 year old an watching him shoot high towers with a rhythm and class style all us youngster should try to learn. Stick with it and teach all you can you've got lots to give.

eredel Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Don't pack it in Richard!! I miss more than I hit when I am on the clay ground and when I'm out metal detecting I mostly find scrap and buttons but I I will not give up either as they are my blessed relief from the day to day grind and I look forward to being able to do them at my leisure when I retire in 3 years time, Grim Reaper permitting...lol! I envy you your longevity and the opportunities you have to enjoy our sport.......don't waste it!! Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Richard, my shooting buddy and I were also roost shooting yesterday. We too missed more than we hit. We are blaming the weather and not our ages, we got a good soaking into the bargain. Still drying all of the gear out ready for next Saturday. We went on our usual clay shooting foray last Wednesday, doing 100 sporting and getting another good soaking. We met up with all of the other OAP's some of whom are 5 or 6 years older than yourself. If you are still healthy enough to be able to get out and still enjoy what you do, then DO IT. Edited February 9, 2014 by Westley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
