Scully Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Nine of us had a journey down the M6 this aft' for a bit play in the wind and rain. Really struggled to begin with and was missing some birds I would normally take for granted yet hitting the more difficult ones including a battue which was virtually invisible against the trees until it presented its belly as it dropped. I even struggled on the rabbit! The voice activated DTL stand was hilarious as even the slightest cough would activate the trap, a fact some of us put to good use when it was an opponents turn to shoot......usually just a second or so before they were ready. Great fun. We went round twice and the strong wind almost dried us before we got round the second time, and we were just finishing off when the sky dumped on us. A grand day out nevertheless, and I always come away believing our ranks could be swelled enormously if more people would just have a go. Considering having a lesson or two to iron out some issues I feel I have with newest gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Went there a few weeks ago and had a howler, the targets were really hard and most of the easier traps were empty. They were running around trying to fill them but i gave up and went home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktattoo Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Was hoping to get up either last Wednesday or Saturday and try my new Winchester field out, however looking at the rain and wind gave it a miss hopefully will get round to going to Crabtree before long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
