Anni Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Yep policeshoot doveridge was a tester. 68 . No excuses from me really . Like nickyt said concentration was needed at all times, Seems a 68 would be the equivelant to a 73 at worsley , was supprised i got that to be honest. Was good to shoot with the lads anyway, so I really enjoyed it . So chards been having a few beretta lessons hey , no wonder i cant beat him I was really supprised that shot more than nicky and madpete, they shot well i thought Till the next time pigeonpals And pull ya finger out magman , get ya **** on the next one. Watching you and chard flirt is highly amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Some good results from that shoot, especially Nick's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Some good results from that shoot, especially Nick's Just a little warm up for the big 'un tomorrow Pete Very enlightening day at Doveridge actually - definitely highlighted the need for pure concentration on every shot (and keeping tabs on the scorers who can't add)!

Markio Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 38x50 at my local. 4 easy stands then 2 toughies. Something clicked on a normal bogey bird for me today so that was nice. A very enjoyable afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigweed Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 First registered shoot today - Horne (Gatton Bottom), **** me that was tough - well i thought so anyway. Started with 2 2s so screwed my head up to start with but then proceeded to straight the next stand. Ended with 55/100. Certainly the hardest shoot i've done so far. Need to do soemthing about concentration levels or pack up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Had a fun morning shooting a 100 reg sporting at Kingsley Moor with zippo and his mate.

throdgrain Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) I went to Gatton Bottom too, you should have said Bigweed! As discussed in a previous thread, I took my Remington 870 along. We decided to do the first stand last as there was loads of people on it, and went straight to stand 2. I must admit after the chat on here I felt a bit apprehensive as I got the gun out of the slip!. There was half a dozen or so people watching, I did ok though and straighted the stand, 8 out of 8 I suspect any negative comments were curtailed by that, indeed my mate who was standing watching too said most people seemed fairly impressed. Stand 4 should have been easy but I messed it up, and scored only 1 out of 8, which killed my score a bit, but the last stand (a mad rabbit followed by a fast l-r) was fun, I straighted that one too We then went back to the first stand, which was a simo going away pair, just the thing we had decided would be the hardest for a pump action, but I managed 6 out of 10 so it wasn't too bad. All in all I scored 65 out of 100, well down on my personal best of 82, but not that far away from what I'd call an avarage score for me, which is maybe 70 ish. It was harder with a pump, but it was a lot of fun, and I think maybe a suprised a few people. Will I do it again? Hell yeah Edited May 24, 2009 by throdgrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Of course you should do it again, there is nothing wrong with using a pump action. It is a shotgun after all. I shot a 43/50 at my local sunday haunt. A very good set up for a change except one stand which was a pair of rabbits crossing left to right about 10 feet in front of the cage. Still managed 7 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigweed Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) I went to Gatton Bottom too, you should have said Bigweed! Thought you were a Gatwick only man - saw a couple of your buddies there up round the rabbit stand - only dropped one there - one ****er just lept in the air and i went well under it. Stands 2 and 3 were the ones i ****** up badly - 2 slow incomers on stand 2 - just didn't read them right (maybe cos they were orange) and 2 quartering from the left dropping in front of you on stand 3. Don't think it helped that thoses were the first 2 stands i did. Edited May 24, 2009 by Bigweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) I had a dreadful morning at Gatwick, a round each of sporting and skeet, both bad. In my defence I had not shot the sporting since January, but it was a poor show none the less, well down on previous scores. EDIT: Looked at notes, it was my worst score to date... oh dear...

throdgrain Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 There was 6 of us, we split up into 2 groups by accident, though it was for the best as a group of 6 takes FOREVER to get round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigweed Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Went to Dartfrod again today and soon realised i shouldn't have bothered- 51/100. Every thing felt wrong and uncomfortable yet nothing has changed. Thought things were getting worse but thats ridiculous - can't see why i can hit a 76 one month and drop to 51 the next. Perhaps I've done too much this weekend - shooting 4 days on the trott (600 odd carts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippo Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Ha Ha Ha, Hey, young Paulos, my mate, I told you the course would bite you after a bit. ! In truth I thought your 89 in A class would win it!! Hhhm, whowever dont fret, your 3rd place should get enough payback to cover your petrol bill down here??? Well done. look foreward to seeing you down here again!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yay!! Got my first 25 straight at Skeet today at Dartford. It was my 10th or 11th attempt at it and it seemed all too easy today for some reason. Last two rounds were 24/25 in November and earlier this year. So, double happy with that. 87/100 Sporting, again at Dartford. Double triple happy with that. Taking onboard what Beretta had advised me on the 'determining lead' thread. The targets there aren't the hardest in the world, but they certainly aren't gimmis either, well...stand 8 is, but the other 9 aren't. Where's the dancing bananas when you need them...
