TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 We need to find a southern female shooter to get that trophy back too. With a shave, a little make-up and a cheap dress it could be yours in 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoot and be safe Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 How'd that go? I enjoyed it very much. Having a looper thrown from the top of the tower, along with a battle were interesting targets and watching them break was the icing on the cake Bearing in mind that there was no cartridge load limit and you could use up to no5 shot, I don't think I did too bad with the little 20 using 24g of 7.5 putting in a score of 23. I forgot I had full use of the gun sometimes too The ref said I was the first he'd taken round with a 20b and the highest score he'd take so far was around 36 if I remember correctly. It was a good layout and you had birds off all 3 towers at some great distances, I'm glad I did it and if I lived closer, I would shoot it again.

Not like Hodnet where you gave one of the high pheasants two barrels after breaking it with the first shot. I'm thinking of popping down to ST again in the relatively near future. If it's still running I might give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for it, it's on till the end of the month.You now have a slight advantage over me by knowing you have full use of the gun on the majority of the stands, you can take extra cartridges with You. I only had 60 in my bag plus a couple in my pocket Good luck and let us know how you get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I go "full use" there might be complaints I might make it down before the end of the month. If I do I'll certainly let you know how I got on.

shaun4860 Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 You attend Auntie and you shoot very well so you are fully deserving of the trophy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Elvis Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Another cracking day! Thanks to everyone from PW who helped to organise it and to all the groundstaff at Sporting Targets. Another thank you to all the Mighty Mambas, Evil Elvis, Donkey, South Oxfordshire Fowler, Essex Jonah and Jingle Fett. It was great meeting all of you and we had a good laugh going round the course. I'm afraid I didn't catch our ref's name but a quick shout out to him too for dispensing good advice and funny quips in equal measure. I do however fear that Evil Elvis may have suffered some kind of permanent mental trauma that may be brought on again in the future by the sight of an orange clay going straight away and curling slightly to the left. You my friend are NOT wrong!!!! Id have been second were it not for that nasty ******, I normally blame my colourblindness but i have glasses to make oranges glow, so no excuse just couldnt hit em!!!!! Such a shame considering how hung over i was and the beer fumes coming off my skin, i shot like a pro.......until that stand lol, but still had a great time in great company it was nice to shoot with you all.

Cranfield Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Eyefor, you can always send Teal a PM if you need to know urgently. However, I expect he will reply when we are sure that all late donators have had a chance to make a contribution, the Just Giving page is usually left open for up to four weeks after the event. If you go to the page, you can add up the total donations so far, if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Events, such as this one, take a lot of organising and I doff my hat to those responsible, but was just interested to hear the total for a good cause. Had I been in the UK I would have attended to support it but, knowing in advance that I would be away, I sent my few pennies the easy way!

oxfordfowler Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) My apologies I really should have posted sooner. Had a great day (as always) at the charity do - shot like a good un - but suspect that was due to being squad-ed with Cat, 2+2 and the "Potters". Oh but for the last stand . Thanks to all involved who put so much time and effort into the day. And just to finished the day off I actually won something on the raffle. A very nice Ridgeline Torrent jacket. So thanks again to Kingo for his prize acquiring prowess and to Nigel at Highland Outdoors for the donation and the great service I received as the correct size jacket arrived through the post very quickly.

Good man Eyefor, the total on the JustGiving page was £161.78 for this year, but it can creep up a bit after the event as Cranfield says Certainly your donation of £40 (£50 with gift aid) has gone to a very good cause Hope to see you next year!
