Markio Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Anyone fancy a shoot at High Lodge? Was thinking a simple 100 bird day. Not shot it before and really fancy it. Can i suggest a couple of dates to get the ball rolling: May 31st or June 14th. If any of the Essex Mafia fancy it they can always park at mine and i'll drive up, my place is on the way(ish) and i have ample parking.

Suffolk shooter Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 June 14th sounds like a good day Mark, I'm up for it. We can get the .410 out and have a .410 skeet challange for a laugh. I believe it is about £24/100 on sporting and £5.25 a round on skeet. Loads of variations from the sporting traps and something like 22 different stands. One thing I have just remembered though is that I was supposed to be shooting the Army Benevolant Fund shoot there in June, but it was cancelled due to the World or British FITASC championships being held there in June. Need to check dates. Just checked dates and it appears there is a GB selection shoot on the 8th and 22nd June, so the 14th sounds great.

Bagsy Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I'll register an interest pending a leave pass etc. June the 14th is the queens official birthday so I may get an invite to her b/day bash (and therefor shooting at Balmoral for the weekend ).

Dont make me come over there and show you my family shot with the S/S tell em starlight I like the family shot, you know I do. Only trouble you not only throw 4oz of shot towards the intended target but it also throws a fully grown man nearly as far in the other direction. I was wondering if I could knock up a bit of a gun carriage for this season so we could have a more controlled firing of your main armament in tandem. I am gonna put my gun into jason's and have it converted to give it that wildfowlers edge like yours has..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
