fuzrat Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 very true paulos, Stuck a slab of shells through it yesterday at the shooting club and its starting to feel more natural. I love the 32" tubes, steady as a rock, but they are going to take some getting used to. All my hold points have come closer to the trap to allow me to get the extra length going and sorted out some fundamentals that I used to get away with having shorter barrels. I have to pick my kill points more carefully I cant just flick onto the second bird and hope to get away with it. Hopefully the more measured approach will pay off with more consistancy in the long run. Also had some foot placement issues that the missus pointed out, was running out of swing on some birds and "rainbow" swinging. (she may not be that good but she can pick up my schoolboy errors, some of what I taught her stuck ) Cant wait to get it on the trappy stuff might even give you a run at the next allround PW daddy 2010 I can only dream of knocking pdlm of his lofty perch Fuzrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Got an 82/100 at Worsley today, which is an improvement on my recent efforts Very good targets there lately, a lot of effort going into the club over the last few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) My slide in form continues. 55 or 56 outta 84 at JJ's. Wondered if I was doing right as it took me 30 seconds to get into my low slung car this morning, should have stay laying on the settee feeling sorry for myself and healing up. Mungler and Broken Man shot a lot better than I did, but not as good as they can do and ended up on 69 and 65 respectively I believe. T'was nice to meet LV and, Broken Man and Chris. I'm going to take a short break from shooting until my body catches up with the gym routine so I'm not as stiff in the torso, and do a lot of dry mounting (fnar fnar) at home and see if anything has changed regarding gun fit and mounting.

fuzrat Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 60 ex 100 at Aylesbury. Straw baler but sets some nice targets. A Battue and a couple of chondels thrown in so not just 30 yrd floppers. Did another 50 and shot 36 so its going on an upward curve. So much better than the 37ex100 last sunday No hurty cheek either so I think I might well have found the keeper gun Fuzrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Shot a 97/100 today in rather blustery conditions .......................was shooting skeet mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 38ex50 at haybale jobbie @ St Osyth. Only shot it once before 2 years ago and on turning up today was warmly welcomed into the shoot by club runners/members. A fair old shoot and will certainly be going back again. Good stuff.

RhiannonBW Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Thought I was doing really well until I saw my score card. It was my highest ever and nowhere near the bottom of the pack but I felt I could have done a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) I got 78/100 at Worsley on Saturday, my mate got 82 and I thought we both had quite a bad day (on some quite easy stands) . Usual story, I was very pleased with my shooting on the difficult stands, a couple of which I straighted, then I made a complete **** of some easy shots.

Evil Elvis Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Shot like a **** yesterday!!!

MC Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Met up with MC at one of his local shoots. Good company, some testing targets and MC did very well.. (I didnt!) That was probably the hardest shoot they have hed there for a while. I didn't think that 39/50 was very good until they read out the score. You did well for that shoot.
