Oh yes, I am excited.

 

Our accountants have put on a day's clay shooting for their clients. I have no idea who will be going or how many but I have decided that if the prizes are any good (which I reckon they will be) then I will be throwing a complete bandit.

 

I am now going to peel the BASC sticker off my car.

No, I am going under cover. No gun and no shooting paraphanalia at all - not even my lucky blue tabard or PW hat.

 

That being said, if someone turns up and looks like competiton then the gloves will come off and everything out of the boot of the car.

 

That £2 plastic winners trophy has Mungler engraved all over it.

Mungler,

 

You can borrow a big Sombrero that I picked up at a car boot sale in Basildon the other week, I'm sure it'll fit you perfectly..!! :good:

 

Watch out Matey, there's always a few ringers at these events, take nothing for granted, or you'll be eating that humble pie..!! :lol:

Cat is right.

 

I did a day like this once many moons ago when our photocopier company treated us to a clay shoot at a club in Herts somewhere. Most people were just there for the day out/free drink/free food but there were at least 3 or 4 real bandits there. :good: I didn't bother taking my gun along and struggled with their loaner all morning, but s a result won 'best improver' as I got to grips with it in the afternoon :lol:

Well I won it with 42/50 but I shot like a gaylord - I put it down to using crappy guns (see below).

 

Next best were 40/50 and 38/50 (after that it was in the 20's).

 

StuartP - you are right on the money - the people who came 2nd and 3rd were also bandits - like me they turned up with their guns in the boot of the their cars waiting to suss out the competition. None of us used our own guns (obviously when they saw me shoot first they knew the day was lost) and we had a to use a selection of school guns that were broom handles, although I did get to use a Remington pump on one stand and was very impressed with it.

 

Sun burnt, middling score but a great day and another plastic trophy for the collection.

Well done mungler so what were the "broom handles" you used? You know the old saying "a bad worksmen blames his tools" :lol:

 

Did you get a prize and was it any good? Other than the plastic trophy obviously.

Nope, just the plastic trophy. Mind you as plastic trophys go, it is one of the "heavier" ones - maybe a whole £3 without the engraving.
