BlaserF3 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yup, I've added it to my list of shoots for this year. Thanks for the heads up. http://www.berettaworldsporting.com/ Don't forget that you will have to borrow a gun that begins with a capital B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Don't forget that you will have to borrow a gun that begins with a capital B Yes and one that isn't a Blaser. That is just plain old discrimination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 You jest? Only allowed to shoot a B gun? Well, they can poke it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 T'is true Peter I went a couple of years ago and while it was a good shoot, I can't help but feel that I would have shot better with my own gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaserF3 Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I think the shoot started years ago for Club Beretta members and of course you must shoot with a Beretta gun. Various shooters over the years who have won it were not always normal Beretta users they just used to borrow one. Loyalty wise it's a brilliant idea.

Catamong Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 'Fraid I won't be doing it, I shot it a couple of years back at Meon Springs, a very ordinary layout in a very ordinary "flat field" setting, just couldn't get excited about any of the targets, (and you won't find a more loyal Beretta user than me..!! ). This event used to be held at Roundwood SG near Basingstoke, a really good ground with very testing targets, which always attracted a good contingent of shooters from all over the World, anybody who was anybody in the clay shooting scene was there. They don't bother coming now that they've moved it from Roundwood, there are far better shoots to spend their money on. Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyR Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 How did you all get on then? Any tips for the novices amongst us - I am there on Sunday and it will be my 2nd ever competition cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 A good day. The organisation of the shoot was really poor though, catering was absolute poo, the pool shoot and practice 50 birder didn't start anywhere near on time so didn't get to try those. I ended up on 87/120 after a good start. I was kicking Beretta's *** for a few stands. Didn't last long though and he soon got in his stride and started straighting everything with lots of inkballs on the way. I got used to the semi-auto fairly quickly and found it wasn't such a massive drop in social standing after all. I still have bogey birds that I need to work on, but overall I'm almost statisfied with the result. I wanted 90, but stand 12 (very hard) put paid to that. The journey back was an absolute disaster. Took 90 mins to do the 100 mile inward journey, but 4.5 hours to go back!! Lorry had overturned on the A3, that was 1.5 hours, then that put us right in the middle of the M25 rush hour, 'nuff said. Meon Springs is ok. It's a flat field shoot as Cat said. I won't rush back there, the targets were quite strawbale like with a few interesting ones thrown in. There were a LOT of no birds and a bit of queuing here and there, 3 squads deep. Got a free Beretta hat, cloth badge and key ring in the goody bag along with loads of brochures for the sponsors.

Chard Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Sounds like a pretty good score Peter. What did Beretta end up on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I think it was 103. Not a bad result at all I think. I don't get to gloat much, so allow me this brief indulgence....... on the 'hard' stand I got 5/8 same as Beretta! I also lost loads of stupid birds, same as the Essex club shoot, dropping the last bird of a straight!! Did that at least 4 times in 15 stands.
