Catamong Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 This may well prove to be the best shoot of the year, in terms of target quality. West Midlands, (AKA Hodnet SG), is, in my opinion, probably the best Sporting ground in the country, and they are capable of putting on a really superb course. It's a wooded ground, with a very steep "cliff" that they can launch some really superb targets from, if you are thinking of shooting any of the majors this year then this one will be the best of a fairly mediocre bunch, as I don't particularly rate either Lakenheath or Southern Counties. The ground is a few miles north of Telford, Shropshire, and pretty easy to get to via the M6 / M54, if you time your journey right. The entry form is here: http://www.cpsa.co.uk/competitions.cfm You need to be a CPSA member to enter. Get your entry in early if you want a weekend slot. No doubt there will be a strong Essex contingent this year..?? Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berettaman1 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Spot on Cat, It is the closest registered ground to me, and I have shot it many, many times, Young Tom puts on targets with a bit of a turn on them ,so it seems they are much closer/and slower speed than they are,many top shooters are fooled,(me included!) Not that I am pretendending to be amongst the elite, but I shoot there whenever I can and I allways think what a superb shoot they put on.... My only claim to fame there is my 46X50 that I managed there 2 years ago. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I've not shot clays for over 2 months, just not getting the time. I didn't bother renewing my CPSA membership so I'll not be shooting it this year :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Well, that's a great shame, as you showed a lot of promise and real commitment. Still, I realise you've now got other more important issues to devote time to, so hopefully we'll see you back on the circuit some day..?? Cat.

pin Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'll be back, no doubt about it Cat :o With clays my aim was to be the best I could be, to me they represent a challenge and I don't enjoy shooting them when I don't perform to the standard I know I can. This means leaving it until I know I can put in the required effort and time to make a go of it. No disrespect to anyone intended but showing up to a "straw bale" shoot week after week shooting good scores doesn't interest me. I'll still go but it's for the crack and the people, not for the enjoyment of shooting the clays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
