Bagsy Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Peter, Mungler is arranging our team, not sure if he's emailed them yet. Have we filled all the places yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I have heard nothing back from the website. It's daft because there's not even a phone number to give someone a bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, spent 10 mins looking at every single page on that site for a number. Thought I'd call Mays today and see what's what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Still no communication. So, they can go and have sex with themselves, we'll shoot somewhere else on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Agreed 101% Scott Greenfield is running a shoot. One of those old fashioned turn up, pay your money and shoot jobbies. Will see if I can dig out the flyer from the tip that is my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I got a phone call on my mobile late last night from a panicked chap talking about the Mays shoot and explaining that they had been having technical problems - technical problems that meant they didn't put a freekin phone number up? Anyways, I said other arrangements had been made in the meantime - they haven't really but I just hate being cocked about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 This is what royally hacks me off with clay shooting - unless you pay big bucks or go to a swanky club with a regular fixture it is always going to be a badly organised shambles. Fair play to Olly who runs Copfurn and Three Acres because rain or shine it's always on, there's always a tea wagon present and everyone has his mobile number (which he actually answers). It really isn't that difficult is it? See how easy we are to please? Let me have a quick look to see if there is anything else localish that could be shot on Monday. I can't understand why Scott G is laying on only a 40 bird shoot - that's a bit limp really. Yours, Hacked Off, Essex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 The 40 bird thing is to get re entries, it is a money thing. You will drive there shoot a round in 20 minutes and then think sod it I am here lets have a =nother round and a couple of goes on the pool shoot. Before you know it you have done £30 in entries. If he lays on a 100 bird shoot that takes all day to get round and you lose the will to live queueing everywhere then you won't go back and you will get in your car and go home as soon as you are finished. No money spent on burgers or drinks. I will agree with you over Copfurn, I have only shot there once but it is well run and serviced. Perhaps a few more should take note.

Catamong Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Sensible comments by MC, indeed a rare occurence, hopefully the targets won't be over testing and that will encourage everybody to have another round. I organised a 40 birder way back in 1990 to raise money for our local hospital's new cancer scanner, we had a massive total of 323 entries and donated £1000 to the appeal. We were lucky, we had a dry day, (1st April), and we publicised it well in advance, even guys like Jed Welham came all the way from Suffolk to shoot it. Cat.

paulos Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I was there at the end of May and they had some decent targets on, it was just the weather that let them down that day. Blowing a gale. They had a few rangier targets which I liked, nothing that couldnt be broken with 1/4 and 1/2 but not all on the end of your barrells.

Peter De La Mare Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Looks like Team Ham Fisted ****s are going to be shooting this after all. Saw Glen at Shrove Hill and he convinced us to turn up early and get on. Only 3 of us attending now, but he advised that there'll be spares to make up the team.

Mungler Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Okay, looks like we too are on for this (Mungler, Lefty, Bagsy, Broken Man and Lucky Dave) as there is F-all else to do, and Scott G's 40 birder won't be worth the petrol. Peter, may see you there - we don't know what you look like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
