Chard Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) ******* hell That was the hardest clay course I've ever had a go at Just got back from the Welsh Open Championship at Mid Wales SG Scores on the doors : Beretta - 84 Ron/Berettaman1/Zippo - 69 Chard - 67 Craig - 64 Anni - 53 When Beretta "only" gets 84, you know it's bad (or good depending on your point of view). A great shoot, relentlessly testing, no gimmes at all. High gun was only 88 when we left, that was Graham Stirzaker, so if it gets beat, I don't think it'll be by much. Just when you think you're coming on a bit, you get brought back to earth with a bang Great to meet Ron at last, a great day I learnt something. Red Bull and clay shooting don't mix While I was waiting to shoot on a particularly difficult stand, I thought I'd get one of these Red Bull type things down my neck. Bloody hell, I was hyper in seconds. When I came to shoot, as soon as I moved the gun, I pulled the trigger. I was flying B) I got 2/8 on that stand Thankfully it wore off really quick and I was OK after that. Edited August 16, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thats just not good enough Just because i wasn't there you all fall to bits Ps, well done anni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 just got back in. well!!!!!!!!!!! about time someone put a decent shoot on instead of all the gimmies i have shot lately all credit to the ground for a really testing course i think it was a little eye opener for a couple of our merry band today, a hint of shoots from a bygone age where high guns were small and shooters learnt a lot more. great shoot and good company as usual, even ron stick to that gun anni and learn it cos it suits you.

Peter De La Mare Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) Went to Barrow Heath today. Very glad we did as it was a fantastic shoot, the targets were every bit as interesting/technical as Southdown, probably better. The setting was also very pleasant indeed. 72/100 for me. Wasn't too unhappy with that. Was expecting an 80. My trigger freeze appeared again after three weeks, and cost me 2 birds, plus my usual routine of killing the first two pairs, missing the 3rd pair and then killing the last two also cost me dear. On the plus side, I hit all loopers and Bateus (apart from the 3rd pair on a stand) so I'm really thrilled that I've made clear progress on that. Just got to work on keeping my concentration after the 2nd pair, for some reasin I start overleading stuff. Going again next week, our Colt shoots for free, including 3 attempts at the pool shoot, so 136 free clays..... a great idea. I think I got 2nd in class c. Shame I was birds only. Paul Simpson was high gun on 92. Edited August 16, 2009 by Peter De La Mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anni Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 THE WELSH OPEN B) I LOVED IT Now all was going well for me untill the last 3 stands where I just couldnt hit them. The only reason being I have never shot at targets like that .All my own fault really. Like beretta has said it was an eye opener for me( Its just what is needed to progress in this game) If I went to worsley after that I could have straightened the place no question Allthough my score was low it has given me so much confidence in a strange way. Good shooting from the lads too, craid and chard really put in a good score, and beretta gave a master class as usual Bring on more tuffys I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Dunc and I popped along to the White Bear shoot after JJ's to try out his new 20 bore game gun. He had a bit of trouble with the automatic safety but got the hang of it in the end; finished up with twenty something. I got a 9, 8 and 7 on the 3 most challenging stands and a poxy 4 & 5 on the other easier two using mine. The layout was quite a bit harder than I remember them being in the past. Also took the mutt who was quite well behaved. There was a very nasty motorbike accident at the junction with Shonks Mill Lane on the way back, poor soul.
