Peter De La Mare Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Pete, Where did you end up today? Next weekend : JJs on the Sunday and Dartford SG on the Bank Holiday Monday - you in? Was at the scrapyard today, and then onto Dartford for the Greater London All Round, which I ended up not shooting. The Scrapyard laid on some pretty good targets actually....there weren't any over 60 x 70, my bud was on 56/70 and I 54/70 which were the top results by midday. Next Sunday we are at Barrow Heath again, Monday is still Dartford afaik. Pete, be nice to meet your brother................ I'll see if I can persuade him to come along.

hairyduck Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 60/100 for me, have been struggling to get over 50% lately but finally getting the feel for the new gun so I'm happy, was hitting some of the ones that I normally miss too so something must be improving. Just need to get a bit more consistent now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had known you had a hangover I would have got the Baikal cartridges out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GStrider Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) I shot a 89 - 249 in DTL today which is better than usual also had a personal best round of 23 - 69 so very happy. Edited August 23, 2009 by GStrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Very pleased with 70/100 at Fennes on Sat. as I took on stand 12 (oscillating fast incomers 'driven peasants' I think) instead of the gi'me ten stand 7 (pair of sit up a shoot me slow incomers for novices.)

I reckon anything less than stun grenades through the bedroom window and your wasting your time B) By the way, thanks for the DVD, it was mighty good of you See you next wk/end, ATB Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 you guys are realising what i keep telling you. 90% is in your head. its suprising me just how keen you are all getting over the last few months everyones competitive but some dont realise at first. keep it up. I think that its helping us all to shoot with like-minded shooters; none of us are afraid to tell each other when we're shooting below par and it makes a difference when people whose opinions you can trust can suggest what you "might" have done wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 74/100 at Lakenheath today. Very interesting birds actually, saw quite a few that I hadn't experienced before and so learnt a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'm fed up. Really look forward to late Wednesdays shooting after work and the weather round here was so ****p that it was a no-goer tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky T Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Did a quick practise down at Worsley today before the Clubman this weekend: Shot two scoring rounds of skeet putting in a 21 and a 23. Shot another session of skeet just on stands 3, 4 and 5 shooting a mixture of singles and doubles. Finished with a 23/25 on the compact layout to ease myself towards the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No day pass granted for Saturday i'm afraid - we've got friends and family visiting all day long so i'm confined to the house It's a small price to pay though for permission to go to Doveridge on Sunday :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claybuster Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Nicky T I saw some of the Doveridge clubman team practicing on the DTL & Skeet last night one or two birds kept sailing on, so it looks like it will be a keenly fought competition. I think the sporting part is being shot in the garden area which should'nt be to hard as that's where they use for instruction. I was chatting to one of the course setters last night and the 100 bird comp looks like being a good shoot with plenty of new targets being set up. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulos Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Best of look to the Northern boys at the Clubman Sadly I won't be shooting the 100 bird, so all the best, I'm sure you will walk it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did OK, but we soon got bored with that and went on the Compact Sporting. They had a few tricky birds on there Very nice blokes running the show there. I wanted a couple of DTL and skeet rules clarified and they were more than happy to put me right on that. It's been two or three years since I went there, but I will make sure I go more regularly now, it's also a handy spot to meet Magman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) a nice little ground is sealand, but!!!! how did you get on?? Not bad at all really. Did well on skeet. We didn't keep score, but I didn't miss a lot. Likewise on DTL , though I kept getting caught out with one that went well over to the right . I kept telling myself that the law of averages would ensure that I didn't get another one of them - but I did, then another , The compact sporting was good, but they had a couple of very distant incomers, that didn't really come in very far, so you shot them at extreme range. We all struggled a bit on them. I chipped a couple, then Magman and Jay got a few by letting them come in as far as possible and getting them on the drop, and I finally got them by hitting them on the rise, like a driven bird . Long way out. Enjoyable afternoon, good company and I'm glad I got those rules clarified. Didn't want to make a complete **** of myself on Sunday Edited August 28, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I went to Parkford today on my jacks as I had a day off, I went on skeet as it suits my novice eye, had the remote control so had 3 second delay, shot from the gun down position, shot really well felt relaxed, oddly enough I felt like I had all the time in the world to see the clay rather than having the gun in the shoulder which seems to "Tunnel" my vision, what does everyone use to count missed birds ?
