bornfree Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 "As I a not a very good shot" Your average would state otherwise, Is that your sporting average? yes sporting i do about 3500 reg targets a year. if i were a good shot i would be using 1/2 1/2, which i have tried and it knocks 10 to 15% off my scores, i also use a lot of 9 shot at sporting.

Great idea Westley 1/2s could get me into B class and 3/4s or even full could take me all the way to C. If there's a flaw in this plan i certainly cannot see it.

shaun4860 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 With those scores i wouldn't be changing anything. That's what I was getting at, % in the 80s and says it's not very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 That's what I was getting at, % in the 80s and says it's not very good Shooting with cyl & cyl and no' 9 shot and a scoring average in the 80's. Suggests that "it really doesn't matter what you shoot, so long as you put it in the right place" which is said so often really is accurate for the vast majority.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 i tend to use cyl cyl or cyl 1/4 as iam not a very good shot this choking keeps my average in the 80s I hope you are coming along to the PW Charity shoot in May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghosthunter Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I usually go 1/4 and 1/2 but have changed today to 3/4 and full in an effort to really brush up on accuracy with the view that once Im hitting nice numbers with that then dropping back to 1/4 and 1/2 will see even more breaks. I was just 5 below my usual average score today with the more constricted chokes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 If you shoot in the 80's and you're a Southerner it's time you had a day off. If you're a Northerner it's best if you keep your nose to the grindstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger-Mouse Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is the PW charity shoot good for beginners or is it a serious competition ? Nah it`s not a serious competition. More of a social day with a bit of a competition thrown in as well. IIRC only a small number of the scores actually count towards the competition, top 10 from each side, so most of us are just along for the ride. Come along, you won`t regret it.

kingo15 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is the PW charity shoot good for beginners or is it a serious competition ?It's a serious competition to beat the north and that's about it haha.Come along its a laugh and all for a good cause Do you go to Northampton shooting ground much?

shaun4860 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Is the PW charity shoot good for beginners or is it a serious competition ? It's good for everyone, you get to put names to faces, possibly meet people that you start to shoot with on a regular basis. The scores don't matter, (North usually win anyway ) The scores over the years have ranged from 96 as a high to 10 as a low Only the top ten scores from each side count towards the total so don't think that you will spoil anyones chances of winning, Come along, it's a grand day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
