Double Barrelled Don Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi Folks, just to let you know about a completely new form of shooting discipline, which kicks off with the Countryman Challenge on 1st & 2nd of August at Park Farm near Wincanton in Somerset. How does 8 one man ten bird two or three trap flushes and 4 ten target air rifle layouts sound? (Air Arms rifles available to use if required) Its been designed so that top clay shooters wont win all the prizes as they have to enter in the Pro Class (AAA,AA and A Class shooters) whilst the majority of the 70+ prizes (over £11,000 in total) are in the Open, Juniors (Under 16),Ladies and parent & Child classes. Fancy shooting "decoyed pigeons" from a fully equipped hide, or tackling "Bolting rabbits" from the back of a 4x4? if the answers yes then this is the event for you! You can shoot on either saturday or sunday with start times of 9am, 12pm and 3pm and it costs just £38 for 120 targets (fibre wads only). There are also have a go stands on shotgun and air rifle, a Guerini pool shoot, The Phoenix Fast Fire running boar simulator and trade stands (UKShootwarehouse BASC, Easyhit, Gunseeker, Jack Pyke, and Promatic amongst others) For more details on how to enter, the prize fund, rules and any other questions you may have visit http://www.countrymanchallenge.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Barrelled Don Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hello Just to clarify the situation on cartridges, yes you do need to shoot with Fiocchi shells (avaiable at the event) in order to qualify for the cartridge prize fund. However this DOES NOT APPLY to those shooting in the Pro Class (AAA, AA A) who are free to choose their own brand of shells. However ALL SHELLS MUST BE FIBRE WADDED to avoid causing us problems with the landowner. Many thanks www.countrymanchallenge.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Barrelled Don Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 just a quick update, its nearly ready, and I have found that putting shoots together works brilliantly as a diet plan, though Im not sure that the insomnia and greying hair is what i would call a plus point. Fortunately it looks as though the weather is improving towards the weekend though those coming down would be prudent to pack some wellies! For those that want to come and say hi, just look for the jabbering idiot with a nervous twitch curled up in a corner...no change there then..
