Wookie Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Headed daaaan saaaaaf (well, Braintree, but it is south of Cambridgeshire) this morning to meet up with Mungler and Evil Elvis. Had a great time watch pros at work and managed two scores of about 20 on the skeet range. Shot like a numpty on Sportrap though... I hate battues! I think Mung got the high score on skeet with a couple of 24s. EE got 23 both times if memory serves. Great time though and picked up some good tips from Mung and Elvis. Hope to do it again, but next time there at the high tower I'm taking an umbrella. The clays tend to fall a little close to the stand!

Mungler Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Nice bunk out and good to meet Wookie finally to confirm that he does exist. EE and myself agreed that he was a very nice chap and that we would countersign his next Essex visa entry application form. We have never seen a Frontera run off turnips before.

Peter De La Mare Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) 86/100 at Kibworth today, this was their CPSA Registered layout, so not a strawbale type of shoot. Extremely happy with that. Though I lost 4 due to my famous trigger spasms. On a 'hard' 50 bird FITASC layout (shooting from the car park on one stand giving 70 yard birds) I got 41/50. Learnt a lot today. Not least that my gun has a near 6lb trigger pull, which may explain some of my trigger spasms/no pulls which cost me 4 birds on the 100 sporting layout. If you want to learn to shoot, go see Ben Husthwaite. Edited April 1, 2009 by Peter De La Mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigweed Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Very nice scores Peter - you certainly get around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yup, variety is the spice of life, as they say. Visited a LOT of shooting grounds in my 15 months in the game. Almost managed to get Newnham Park in last month, but didn't quite manage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well shot Peter You must be looking forward to the next PW Daddy shoot! I will have to take a break from skeet and get some practice in on the old sporting lark!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) Thanks Paulos. Trick is being able to do with without one of the best shots in the world standing over one's shoulder guilding you. We'll see....

Bagsy Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Woeful shoot at JJs today managing a lousy 61 ex 84 Broken Man's on heat ahead of the Masters in a couple of weeks Nice to be shooting in the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigweed Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 60 ex 80 at Bluebell Hill this morning - and as Bagsy says nice to be in the sun for a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Shot up at Bywell in Northumberland today, for the 2nd NOE Skeet Selection Shoot, and the weather was miraculously...quite nice Managed a 98/100 after dropping one on each of my first two rounds. It'll do, but need to give myself a kick up the backside for the next one if I am going to make the ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Today I shot a 21 on skeet, which I was very pleased with as it was with my Remington 870 pump action with a fixed mod. choke. I also shot 37 ex 50 on sporting with the same gun, which was ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Managed a reasonably mediocre 60 ex 100 at Hawley today, but was well pleased as they have changed it around a bit and there were some reet testing stuff there!! Went with a mate who's a dead eye game shot and he came away "somewhere between 20 and 30". I was second in C class when i left, so fingers crossed for 2 boxes of cheap cartridges!

Wookie Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Got a 55x100 at my local yesterday and was a bit upset, but the wind was up a bit and I had just spent the morning shooting .17 HMR in a Mythbusters stylee, so I was not too upset. The icing on the cake was a straight on a sim teal stand. Mrs. Wookie's dad was with me and he got a 22x100, but was quite happy with it. I then spent the afternoon doing DIY gunsmithing to add an inch spacer to the stock of the SPig. I'll see how that works out in a couple of weeks.

GStrider Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I shot 37 ex 50 in single barrel on Sunday which I'm pretty pleased with as I only started shooting in February and it was only my second attempt on a DTL layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdc124 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think i shot quite well today - my first visit to a skeet range since i got my SGC (an first non-instructor led session), probably hit 30+ out of 50 I managed to hit all of the birds (not necessarility first time) and left confident that i can improve and start to compete in the summer.

Bigweed Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) Went to Dartford today and did a ****e 57 ex 100. Targets had been changed from recently and a bit tougher - well i thought so - on 2 stands only managed a 2 on each. :blink: Back to the drawing board Edited April 9, 2009 by Bigweed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter De La Mare Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 112/125 at Doveridge today. It's quite a nice place to shoot, though the targets weren't interesting enough to justify the 5 hour round trip alone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 take it that was skeet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Nope. One doesn't do skeet unless it's for money or bragging rights. Like I say, the layout wasn't that testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
