Bigweed Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Tips in the "Determining Lead" certainly helped me today - changing the lead picture, stance or gun hold after missing a target. 72/100 at Keston - reasonably pleased with that but as usual could have been much better - still managing to drop a pair or two after getting 6 or 8 straight - stupid errors or drop of concentration me thinks.

Peter De La Mare Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Well done Dave, that's better. I had an interesting time today. I'd only dropped 4 birds up until the last stand, I was bouncing off the walls as I was on for a 66/70. I was level pegging with my shooting partner and the competition was intense, then on the last stand I killed the first pair, still in smug mode, then missed the next 3 pairs !!!! Calmed down a big and got the last pair So 60/70 for me, and 65/70 for him. Much p1sstaking ensued. I'm gutted..... lesson learnt, don't count your chickens etc..... *whankericonhere* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I did 43/50 sporting at Gatwick , 20 on skeet and 54 on DTL. Pleased with the sporting, and the other 2 are ok, so not a bad day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a round at JJs with Bagsy - went to fire that Remmy 1100 for the first time to find it was bust - the arms / grabby hooks that grab the spent cartridge appear to have bust off. Shot the round with Bagsy's gun and dropped about a dozen birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Where were you shooting - was it the scrapyard challenge? Aye You have a free round there BTW from your class win. Fairly sure you won't be interested, but it was pretty good there this week, 1000 start got round quickly and no trap issues, not that they're common you were just unlucky that week. So, was that a 72/84 for you? That's good shooting as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagsy Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Shot the round with Bagsy's gun and dropped about a dozen birds. Beaten with my own gun Pity you didn't hit the evil gnunt of a bug which was feasting on my leg afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markio Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 44ex50 today. There was a tower bird that i just couldn't hit! Dropped 5 alone on that bird/stand. Missed another daft one on the previous stand. It wasn't a hard shoot but i was please with the consistency. Shame about that tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Nice darts Markio, I did a 41/50 this morning nothing particularly hard just missing one or two on a stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I shot an 86x100 at a reg all round this morning. Happy with the score given the absolute howlers that I had on the skeet and DTL (21 and a 19!!) scraped it back with a 22 on ABT and a 24 on sporting, which I was extremely happy with after learning that the next highest was 20! Back to the drawing board then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Holliday Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Tips in the "Determining Lead" certainly helped me today - changing the lead picture, stance or gun hold after missing a target. :blink: 72/100 at Keston - reasonably pleased with that but as usual could have been much better - still managing to drop a pair or two after getting 6 or 8 straight - stupid errors or drop of concentration me thinks. Bigweed, I thought you were going to Robin Hood with Jon. You should have let me know you were going to Keston and I would have given you a nudge & wink. Nevermind, said to Jon about doing a round somwhere one weekday soon. I'm sure he'll let you know. Got 68 on my second round (59 first round). Good to see the scores are creeping up. The fast crossers with the rabbit & the looper got my goat. Think I managed to hit the bloody things once out of both rounds. Other than that I did ok on the others. Changing picture when missing certainly helps, just need to work on concentration and not think too much about them in future should get my scores up.

Bigweed Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Bigweed, I thought you were going to Robin Hood with Jon. Had to go to Biggin Hill Airfield first thing and as Keston shoot is just round the corner seemed a shame not to pay it a visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 first time back at Fennes for allmost 6 months, 64/100, those damn towers did for me again, anything going away quartering or incoming /teal no probs but high birds, It will take me ages to get to know the amount of lead again. :-( M.

MJN Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 second time at Fennes, 70/100 better, I seemed to have cracked the r/l crossers on stand 1 (8/10) and the l/r crossers on stand 5(?), now it the high incomers I have to practise on 1/10 :-( . and sharped up on the easy ones.

Multiplier given a new splash of motor oil and I've dug the worst of the sand out of the bearings You might just have the edge on me on the skeet , that was a shock to the system, I'm not used to shooting clays off the end of my nose.
