McSpredder Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 What time of day do you generally meet up? I can easily fit in with everybody else, as it is only 25 miles from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Whats your thoughts on 11am? Any chance of picking out 10 of the hardest stands :-) we can shoot 5 pairs at each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSpredder Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 11am is fine for me. Any chance of picking out 10 of the hardest stands :-) we can shoot 5 pairs at each Sounds as though you must be an expert (or else a masochist). Does that apply also to the rest of the group? Apart from some “novice coaching” stands, there are usually about a dozen 2-trap stands (may all include tricky targets, depending how they have been set up on the day) and seven 6-trap stands, so probably 60-70 different targets available. During fun days with my regular group of decrepit geriatric pals, we usually tackle the 2-trap stands by shooting one pair on report, and then decide whether to take one or two more pairs as report or simultaneous. For the 6-trap stands, we shoot them on report as A+B, C+D and E+F. If anybody wants to shoot skeet as well as sporting, they will need to take a separate counter.

bunnykiller Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Bunnykiller chose our last foray up there, Chose a very good 100 bird layout We can get a copy of the previous months club shoot. That will give us a head start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted March 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 That would be perfect, I called bisley to make sure there were no events on that would hold us up and everything is ok! Latest roll call Johnnytheboy + Lee & Gregg (both attended before) Tam + Lynelle McSpredder NoviceCushieShooter Derickr + Colin Bunny killer Ewan + Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSpredder Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I shall be there tomorrow (19 March) for the monthly 100-bird club comp, and probably a lot of the targets will still be fairly similar the following week (25 March). If everybody on the list turns up, we might need to split into two squads. Possibly an expert squad tackling the hardest clays, with an easier selection for the ordinary mortals -- targets that are “challenging” for the AA class shooter can be plain bloody depressing for somebody in C class.

Tam Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I think the others attending can shoot the elite targets I wouldn't want to shoot alone on the easy round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McSpredder Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Many thanks to Johnnytheboy for organising yesterday’s Scottish Fun Day. Eight guns turned up and we each fired about 90 cartridges at (if memory serves me correctly) 64 different targets, with a lunch break in the middle. bunnykiller kindly shot first on every stand, giving the rest of us a good chance to see the targets. Scores at the first stand were written down, but fortunately the pencil was then lost, so the numbers of targets missed during the remainder of the day have not been recorded for posterity. A very enjoyable format for a mixed-ability group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnytheboy Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 It's was a great day out Shaun, thankfully bunny killer lost the score keeping pencil so no one knows how bad I actually am at clay shooting. McSpredder shot every clay he looked at which was impressive! And the weather was awesome, sun shines on the righteous after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 I was sorry to miss out on the day, was too busy finalising the sporting shoot for the competition at Hopetoun today, but glad you all had a good time. The weather was very kind to you although I'm not so sure about the assembled mob being righteous, perhaps just lucky Hopefully I will make the next one.
