Wookie Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Went up to my local shoot on Sunday with Zapp and my future father in law. It all started well enough, but I had a bit of a spell in the middle of the 10 stands where I shot like a numpty, finally ending up with a magnificent 2x10 on stand 7 thanks for a complete lack of concentration. Only straiting the last two stands got me a respectable score: 65x100 Meanwhile Zapp was shooting very consistently and turned in a 70x100 which, given that he was using a strange, modern semi-auto, was quite odd. I would have expected him to break out the antiques again, but the Urika 2 seems to work just as well for him. All in all, a lovely day out. Zapp, next time I'll drive out to your local eh?

Peter De La Mare Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Aye, can do, just need a suitable event. Is there a northern version of the Essex Masters or UK Grand Masters? Y'know, 200 birder at a great ground/setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beretta Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 you wont find a 200 birder up here. plenty of 100s or it could be arranged to shoot whatever you want just as a day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chard Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) you wont find a 200 birder up here. plenty of 100s or it could be arranged to shoot whatever you want just as a day out A lot of the competitions at Catton Hall are re-entry. The Essex Boys probably like a bit of re-entry - or is that rear entry? Edited June 15, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 There's a registered shoot on at Catton Hall the last Sunday of July (26th) if that's a possibilty of a PW meet up and shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or there's a re-entry comp on 31st August if we wanted a 200 birder I wouldn't mind either but I can't see these Southern handbag swingers making the trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 There are registered shoots on at North Wolds and Coniston in the next month, the one at Coniston being an England selection shoot. So there will be some good testing stuff on there. North Wolds put an excellent shoot on and I would certainly recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 now that is a long way for those down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 North Wolds is a nice ground, they've got a massive ravine that they don't exploit to the full, well worth a visit, one of the few "decent" grounds oop North worth making the journey for. I've not shot Coniston, Paulos reckons it's OK, so that's good enough for me, I doubt whether I'll do the Selection shoot there, even if I won it, I couldn't make the team this year. Cat.

paulos Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 There is no website for North Wolds I'm afraid Nicky. They are not a cosy set up like some of the bigger grounds ie. no clubhouse. But they are friendly, well organised and the targets are spot on every time Their contact details are on the CPSA site though if you need directions, dates etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
