tosspot Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 After a good turn last year can we do better this for those who don't know it's a 200 birder and is an absolutely cracking shoot who's game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Deffo - you on for a squad again? I have the old fax entry on my PC at work. Who else out there is going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Sounds really good but it's an expensive day (well it is for me!). Please try to convince me as i like the idea. Obviously it's a good laugh to meet but we can do that for less than 200 birds! What's the attraction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'll play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'll be there, already booked in for the first squad on Sunday, the last day. It is always a good shoot, and don't forget, it's not CPSA Registered, so anyone can enter, you can also use those 36gram bombers if you think it will give you an advantage. Cat.

Suffolk shooter Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'll be there as long as someone stops me having a hissy fit when I miss 9ex10 on the first stand I didn't realise you did that Pin, I thought I was bad for blanking stand 3 and then having a complete mare for 38 ex 100 and 41 ex 100. If you did it was a damn fine recovery to get the score you did in the end. You can always just look at me and know that you'll never be as bad as me. Still say BTMS should have been given the cup for those outrageous Skeet/Skeet 9's 60 yarders. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) By stand 5 on the first round I had dropped 23 targets mate, if it hadn't of been for Stealthy giving me a slap I dearly needed I would have gone and sat in the car park. No ****. Edited January 16, 2008 by pin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk shooter Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 The thing that gets me is that the whole point of Sporting Clays is that they are supposed to mimic Game in all its forms, but I would have said that over 60% I wouldn't of even raised the gun to had that been real game in the field. Having said that still thought the layout was good and varied albeit a tad hard. I recall you looking pee'd off now. Trouble was leading up to it we had all shot together at Lakenheath etc and were doing well. Its fair to say though that no clay ground has these sorts of targets set up day in day out. If they did less people would take up the sport. Look at Biddy's daily setup. Every clay is easily hittable, but at the same time easily missable, and yet there is nothing (except the hightower from stand 20) that is what I would call remotely as hard as the Essex Masters. Still looking forward to this years. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Don't quote me but I think I came out with 76ex100 in the end which I was over the moon with. Even if one of the trappers gave me a battue I blatantly missed by a London bus, eh Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one clay but a whole different set of tens which is blatantly more respectful. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_jay Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi does anyone have any details on this event e.g location,costs ect. Thanks in advance Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Do a search on here, "essex masters". It's at "hepworth hall" in Essex, easy to get to, I think it was £70 something but it's 200 birds and a very well thought out and run shoot, shot as 2 separate 100 bird shoots - decent prizes in cash and guns.

No, but there is a nice pond to chuck the gun into after a bad round. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 There would be no chance for me there. Although if they had a Z class, I would be feeling quietly confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTMS Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I am up for it, been practising with my new toy (spud gun) on the 100 yrds crossing looper with King Edwards!!!!!!!!! Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'll do a post about squads shortly. We are probably looking at at least two squads. PW Hats to the ready, it's time to storm the Essex Masters..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It's certainly one of the highlights of the Sporting calendar, a very well run shoot with target quality as good as you would find at the British Open, (some would say better). The 200 Bird format catches a lot of people out, it's so easy to lose it and burn out over the last 50 birds after making a promising start. You've also got the chance to shoot alongside Faulds & Digweed, and to compare your scores with theirs, so get booked in early, as it's a very popular event. Cat.

MC Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm in as well, can we try and book earlier this year and get a saturday or sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Stalker Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yep count me in on this, its a cracking shoot & a good laugh as well, I've got me PW cap ready & waiting. Hopefully TP hasn't lost his :unsure: SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
