Went to Doveridge today with my eldest son to shoot a registered comp :good:???:good:

 

**** me, that was a bit of a joke. It would have been a tough course anyway, by the look of it, but the gale force wind made it a bit silly.

 

Many of the clays wouldn't get up out of the tree line at all, so you just took potshots through the branches :good:

 

Half of them were technically no birds, but there was no point in making an issue of it, it wasn't their fault and if you took the pair again they'd be all over the place as well.

 

Some of the more experienced shots were succeeding in cobbling together some kind of half decent score, but I didn't know where to start really, to be honest, and ended up with an astounding 57 ???

 

I saw Claybuster there, I don't think he was doing too badly, but I don't think he'll have finished on his usual high score ???

Nice one - Pete. See you made top of class again !!!

 

Yup. Shame there were only 15 entered into the comp. Still, should cover my fuel for the day. They said I gotta be in B class next time.

 

Pete, looks like your brother has got some real catching up to do now :lol:

 

Ya, hoping he gives up some tips and pointers. :good:

33/50 with the pump action during a ******* monsoon at St Osyth. On two stands the rain shot directly into your eye balls as you looked for the bird. Great laugh, everyone walking about like they had just carped themselves has trousers were just wet through and it was most uncomfortable to move at all. I was so wet through that i drove home in my pants and t-shirt while sitting on my jumper.

 

Or did i dream it.... :good:

Fess up, have you been smoking again? Are you now smoking on a daily basis?

Nope, binned what i had after the 3 acres shoot. I had 1 on my birthday, and 1 today and that it's it. However, there just doesn't seem to be enough booze about at the moment, i've got the urge to rob MEs place.

Hi Chard its was a very weather affected shoot with all the wind and rain. Started off great did half the shoot and was only two down but when you went up the valley some of them teal blew into the next county and the misses out numbered the kills with 2 from 8 twice so I managed to finished on 76. But it was hard work for the brave or daft people that ventured out.

73/96 at the JJ's Charity shoot today. I thought it was an utterly poor performance again from me, but high gun was only a pair of 80/96.

 

Mungley 79 (4th overall after a shoot-off for 3rd place)

My buddy John got 77

Me 73

BrokenMan 72

MC 71

Bagsy 69

Matt 60

Mrs BM 54

 

What's worse is that somehow Kent won the team shoot 299 to our 293. Not sure how that happened as the top 4 from Essex got 301. :rolleyes:
