paulos Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 50 Straight? Impressive stuff. :o :o I managed 58/70 at Shrove Hill. Suddenly developed some weird spasm that's causing me to shoot 4ft to the left of Teals/going away birds. Cost me two kills on a stand I'd normally straight. I had a similar problem at a charity shoot last week involving a high driven bird. I knew from the 1st one that I was missing down the left hand side, but for the life of me could not stop doing it :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisondan Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Shot 61 ex 100 at 3 Counties near Basingstoke yesterday, really challenging shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 74/100 at Catton Hall today. Reasonably pleased with that, as it's not an easy set-up on their registered comps, high gun is often down in the 80's there. Not sure what the big boys shot today, I saw Brett Winstanley making it look easy again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Shot the May of London team shoot this morning. Some of us started poorly over the first few stands leaving a lot to do for the remainder but it was a pretty well set up shoot - although it took us over three hours to get round! Scores on the doors for our team were.... Mungler 80 Bagsy 70 Broken Man 65 Lefty 60 Lucky Dave 56 Total score was 331 ex 500 Two stands with rabbits and I didn't hit one - big loss for my card We shot against the dodgy handshake brigade who started off strong but dropped off towards the end. Of the 10 of us one was almost knocked flat by a large bit of flying clay and got a cut chin and we we suffered two broken guns on the last stand (the guts coming out of a semi and the lever giving up on an O/U). Bumped into Peter De Le Mare before we started, poor chaps probably still in the wood as I write! Edited August 25, 2008 by Bagsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Ya, you dirty ********...fancy getting luck like that to get a 1000 slot after turning up at 09 ******* 45. I shot 79/100. Ruined a good result by shooting very poorly on a couple of stands, dropping 5 on each that should have been straight, as they were easy. Someone called O'Sullivan was on 92 as I left. Team Cabbage ended up on 354, joint 3rd as I left around 1530. I was also joint 2nd on the pool shoot with 8/12 when I left, 9/12 being high gun. Was a pleasure meeting Mugler, Basgy BM and the rest of the guys, whose names I missed.... Mung, well done on your 80.

Bagsy Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Peter - good shooting. We were laughing like girls as we walked into the wood having got an early slot Smile was soon wiped off our faces though as we shot like muppets on the first few stands Was good to meet you Edited August 25, 2008 by Bagsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 What about the venue though? I thought it was ******* awesome. Being a city boy I find places like that fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You city boys are too used to shooting at dodgy chair/carpet combinations Very nice, but not enough 'sky' for us Essex boys. Far too many trees . Have you shot Copfurn yet? Similar wooded shoot but on a smaller scale. Chard would've loved it today - I reckon he may have even got into the late 50's/early 60's there were was so much background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 A good course which we ruined by our start - the first 4 stands, I dunno if it was nerves or what, but we gayed bigtime and it's difficult to recover the card or the mind from such an awful start. But, by the end, we had settled down and were all knocking 8's, 9's and 10's and just about getting into it. A good day out, but frustrating nonetheless.

Peter De La Mare Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hmmm.....almost a similar story for me. Felt my heart pounding for some reason which it never normally does during a strawbale shoot. Maybe I was on the verge of a heart attack or something. First two stands were straight, 3rd was a 9 after missing a bunny. Stand 4 was 5.... Couldn't get the going away bird at all, cudda shot it all day and not hit it. The other messed up stand was 6 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Well, lets get young Chard to don his Ray Bans and get down to the sunny 'sarf in mid September to shoot the 200 Birder.?? I'm sure It'll be a goodun, even though they'll be a lot of "sky" around most of those birds. i.e. plenty of room to miss. Today was a bit of a mare for me, did a 101 ex 120 at Southdown , followed by a 90 ex 100 at the Horne, Gatton Bottom, a real doomer, , still, like to think I'm saving myself for the British in 2 weeks time..??

paulos Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 90ex100 cant have been that far off can it?? I decided to give myself (and the wallet) a rest today and instead sat imagining myself in a Rocky-esque montage, preparing for southern counties in a couple of weeks. North of England Sportrap Champs next week though so that should be a nice warm-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 shot Horne today also, good to see you again cat, shot an 84 not brilliant messed one stand big time, couple of bad breakdowns took the edge off the day, wouldn't be surprised if a 95/96 took it.

Cat. I would luuuuuurve to have a thrash at this, but at £75 a pop plus about £80 in petrol and £30 for cartridges, it's a bit of dear old do As I've not organised myself into a squad at this late hour, I'll probably end up going round with a bunch of anal jollyboys which doesn't sound like a barrel of laaaaaarfs to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 He missed it deliberately not to let on that he's actually a robot.
