Chard Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Yeah craig started off on fire ..... great shooting He missed some sitters and struggled on the same stand as me, I think it was 8, The 2 over heads I couldnt hit them fooksters I think he got to stand 8 having only missed 1 Yes, he can't shoot overhead birds :o We're normally quite closely matched in scores, but if the course has some stands with overhead stuff, I know I've got him :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky T Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Fingers crossed for a overheadless conniston tommorow craig rekoned he might turn up Hopefully Coniston will be chock-a-block full of driven birds tomorrow Good fun day out at Worsley today and having a few cheeky shots with Craig's DT10 at the end of the day has left me thinking..... Looking forward to Coniston tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter De La Mare Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 So you won't be trying registered again for a while then Pete I wasn't at all comfortable at Fyfield, didn't like the skeet layout being literally in the car park, plus after missing the first two high birds I didn't really care about the rest of the round. There's no way the high bird was correctly set, it literally plummetted once out of the trap, it's meant to rise a couple of feet before dropping but certainly wasn't.

Peter De La Mare Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Damn, I retract everything I said in my earlier post. I have no idea if it was set correctly or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have DEMANDED that the targets be reset and rehooped. Just embrace it Peter, we're not here to Judge :o Skeet is fun.

Peter De La Mare Posted July 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Hepworth Hall today, was doing really well. First 7 stands I shot at 84%. B) Last 3 not so well...... 25%....ended on 62/100. All 3 stands killing first pair, then missing all the rest, or nearly all the rest. Did better on the pool shoot 16/20. John Dyson is a miserable ******. Edited July 19, 2009 by Peter De La Mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Shot a 73 today at Coniston and was 2nd in C class when i left so you never know it could be a better day than expected Chard and Anni put in a 73 and 58 respectively, Lyn shot a 77 and Beretta was top in our group shooting a 93 Met Paulos there as well who put in a sterling 91 to stand a good chance of some honours in A class Top day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great shooting from Beretta on 93, but the star of the show has to be Paulos with his 91 B) Outstanding stuff, that lad's going straight to the top. Well done matey, you should be well chuffed with that Disappointed with my performance, definitely outclassed today but thoroughly enjoyed the day. Spent a fortune on fillet steak and sirloin steak from a farm shop on the way home Saw Mr Potter there too, he seemed to be going quite well with only a quarter of the stands left to shoot, so I think he'll have a pretty good score.

Anni Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) As Nickyt said a poor 58 today B) Discraced with that Apart from that was a good day at conniston.. Good company.

paulos Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 hero of the day has to be the BABY FACED ASSASSIN (paulos) B) think hes about 11 years old. Damn. This is what happens when I shave! Cheers fellas, it was good to put some faces to names today Most enjoyable. I was joint 1st in A class so got some wonga to take home As did Nicky, who was well up in C class - well shot For any of you that are interested, there are another couple of shoots coming up: 9th August - 100 Reg Sporting (NOE Selection) @ North of England CTC 15th August - 100 Sporting Open @ Thimbleby 16th August - 100 Reg Sporting (Yorkshire Champs) @ Coniston Well shot one and all (especially Beretta, to shoot a 93 after such a long sabbatical is fantastic! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Potter Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 a great day out as already said.shoot was a bit of a let down personally as i thought it could have been a bit more challenging but each to there own. hero of the day has to be the BABY FACED ASSASSIN (paulos) think hes about 11 years old. well shot that man. Well shot Beretta and Paulos, I finished on 87 but like Beretta felt the targets were a bit tame especially for an England selection shoot. Whatever the targets though, to get into the 90's at any sporting shoot is worthy of a big Mr Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
