Chard Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Twas just practice . Should be a good shoot wednesday . The worsley gangbangers on tour . Ah, less than 73 B) We laaaaaaarfed and laaaaaarfed. Looking forward to it, hope the ******* weather looks up a bit Any idea what time you're picking me up, Craig wants to know what time to be at mine. And why are you in Sale on that day? . You haven't got mixed up with one of those filthy women on the estate have you? :o . Mrs Sweepy won't like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 65 ex 80 for me today at 3 acres. Layout did seem pretty straightforward and at times the weather was a bit more challenging than the birds but that's 15 better than I've done there in the past. Had a lesson with Tracy on Wednesday and it seems to have paid dividends. All in all, well 'appy Raja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 FCS, If you want to know what is wrong with shooting from a chair you should try it. Also I forgot to mention that it was a fibre only shoot as well and the rain didn't stop all morning. ANd I shot with my left leg out in front and my right under the chair. Is that the right way to do it? I still shot gun down. Even getting cartridges out of your pocket was a task. It must have been a bit like your day at shrove hill, so many no birds and with shooting stand 1 twice after they moved the cage I ended up using 73 cartridges for a 50 birder. That is a worse cartridge kill ratio than I get on the marsh. There's a few more to add to the ever growing "MC book of excuses" "Couldn't get the cartridges out of my pocket"...........well, I've heard 'em all now..!! Cat.

MC Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Cat, are you mental? That was a statement not an excuse. If it was an excuse it would have read " I missed a couple of birds because I couldn't get the cartridges out of my pocket." I am fairly sure you have some corking excuses that we haven't heard yet. After all you have been shooting since time began and you still aren't that good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippo Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Shot the police charity shoot today at Doveridge, started well straighted stand one next to the pond, stand two, dropped 1... then to the high field, disaster, dropped 9X16!....and so it went dropped one on each stand of 7.8.9...dropped 4 on stand 10! dropped 2 on stand 11... dropped only two on the high tower,.straighted stand 5. 10X10 then dropped 4 on stand 6... finished on a 75!.X100... didnt see Chard there, but I suppose he was on the course somewhere, got a bit wet but its all part of the game.

Chard Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) :( I'm afraid the PW contingent didn't excel at the Police shoot at Doveridge today. Scores on the doors : Craig (not even a PW chap) - 76 Chard - 73 Annihilator - 68 Nicky T - 65 Mad Scientist - 61 (I think, but I thought he was doing better that this - till the last stand Laaaaaaaaarf) Very disappointing scores but a great shoot in fantastic surroundings. I'd never been to Doveridge before, but I'll be going again. Nothing too hard, just relentlessly tricky with no gimmes. Had to think about every shot. I don't know what won it, but I overheard somebody say that it would need to be high 80's to get it. If I heard that right, it wasn't a high scoring day, but that's got more to do with a lack of big names there. I didn't see many top shots there, awkward day of the week I suppose. A good day in very good company One of those courses that I think I would do much better at next time Edited May 20, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Funny number that 73 Annihilator always 5 clays behind at his home ground to :( Pitty i couldn't make it would of loved to have been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky T Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Top notch shoot at Doveridge, despite the occasional shower :( Like Chard said relentlessly testing layout that forced you to concentrate throughout. No disasterous stands but need to get those 5,6,7's up to 8's methinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 see chard led the way again. and on annis home turf :( shame on you. all these lessons im giving you are paying off then chard, keep it up Ssssshhh - I didn't tell them about the lessons I feel better about my score now, apparently Ron Zippo only put in a 75. (You must have had a bad day, bud), sorry I didn't see you. I was looking out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Scientist Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Big fat zero on the last stand really ruined my day! Still, it was enjoyable all the same. Must have been the company because my score was a bit low! Until next time......................... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyxologos Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Today i did great. I more than doubled my score, and for me this is amazing... 85/100 where I used to only break 40/100. Down to my change of technique and shooting with both eyes open, I reckon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
