MC Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Guys, I saw in the PULL mag last night that there is a 200 bird shoot in september at Southdown. As TP is always driving up this way how about we go down his neck of the woods and shoot this one. Entry was £75 and we may need to book in advance to shoot on the saturday which if I remember rightly was the 23rd. Who is up for it?

MC Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Well I have never shot it and I am sure there will be all sorts of comments about how testing it will be and to expect a low score but I don't care. I am up for it and ting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) 75 quid - Are you 'avin a giraffe? I'd want to buy the ******* shooting ground for that No wonder he's got no hair Edited June 27, 2008 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 This will be a very good shoot, and a toughie, I'll be there, I wouldn't miss this one. MC will need his extra large book of excuses as I predict a lot of head shaking from the Essex boys..!! Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 As predicted Enter stage left, Catamong with his doom and gloom It may well be hard, and if I miss I miss, no excuses. I don't profess to hit everything, I do not claim to be a crack shot but I can hit more than I miss. I want to shoot this ground as it has a reputation of being well set up. It will be the same as the Essex Masters, a well set up shoot, good crack with some good mates. And if you shoot well along the way then all the better. Cat, When you post a score card with no misses on it then you can harp on about the head shaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be quite hardcore, mate. Top shots and serious stuff.

Mungler Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have shot it once before (last year with LV and Tosspot). Think I got low 70's. Was testing and interesting but nothing (apart from 1 target) that couldn't be hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 A lot of very good shots come unstuck at Southdown, I always think there's a lot of "sky" around most of the birds, making them very easy to miss, many are also considerably quicker than they appear. They will be using the main layout (both sides of the valley), together with an adjacent valley that was used in the World Sporting in 2002 & 2004. It's being held on 18th / 19th / 20th / 21st September, you can shoot both layouts on one day or split them over 2 days if you wish. This should be one of the best shoots of the year in terms of target quality. Book early if you want a weekend slot. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best shots suffer from "too much sky". I keep trying to tell the Mafia, but they just won't listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosspot Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Think i may be able to make the 10 minute trek to this one, if some of you guys fancy it then great Chard, hows about we set alight a few tyres to imitate all that industrial smog you are used to, to blot out all that sky? and i'm surprised you have not picked Martin up on his incorrect use of an apostrophe. Bigthug87, your profile says Wales? not all that close to sunny Sussex unless you have a second home in these parts, more than welcome nonetheless Edited June 28, 2008 by tosspot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice that Martin was implying that "Tosspot is home turf" and that you're planning a meet with a capital M. I also notice that you don't seem to have full command of the use of the capital letter, especially after a question mark, but hey-ho, one thing at a time. We'll get you fluent in crosswords first 'Ave a banana. (Notice the use of the apostrophe to indicate that I have missed out a letter).

ME Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I blanked a few stands at Southdown ! I would be up for this, it would be interesting to see if I have improved any since last time. Put me down for it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep a dossier and present to me in a decade or two. Sure you don't want to visit your family again come Autumn :lol: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 C'mon Chard, get yourself "darn sarf" amongst the real geezers....I reckon you could stuff about 95% of those Essex pansies, they're all hot air and cellulite, this shoot will be a real cracker, a tad tougher than Worsley, but you'll certainly be treated to some Southern hospitality...!!

pin Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 You know it wasn't a dig, I enjoy it because I know you both don't actually hate each other but know how to push each others buttons Rob I'd snap your arm off for another day like that, 166 my best ever day and we only got settled at 12 after being moved - it could have so easily been a 250 bird day! First time I've seen someone else's approach to decoying and boy did it work! Assume I'm up for it, I'll be there. I owe you a return on the golf as well!

Catamong Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Yeah, well I know you'll whoop my **** big time on the golf course, I'm still stuck on 22, played today at WhiteWebbs in Enfield, struggled to get 36 points, the wheels came off big time on the back nine, but, hey ho, that's the way it goes..!! It's a good job I don't have to earn a living from playing golf..!! Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I've never played there, driven past it a few times though and wondered, any good? I've changed from 3w off the tee after finding a driver I like, it's going long and straight so watch out Let me know closer to the time on these pigeons, I got my pants pulled down over the winter and I need revenge!
