Nicky T Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Very well shot, Nick I thought I'd got you there After we'd shot 11 stands. I'd only dropped 5 Then I dropped a further 8 on the last 4 stands I just ran out of steam I think. I used to laugh at people who said you had to be fit to shoot clays but I was feeling it towards the end. A good performance from you. Sir, I'd say you deserved that one The very best of luck to you in the next round of the knockout. Great shooting from Anni with the new cowboy gun as well, I can see that that gun is going to improve your shooting a lot. I don't understand why, but there isn't much doubt about it I believe i've got Grant Davidson(?) in the next round whoever he is He shot an 88 yesterday according to the scoreboard so it should be another ruddy close one! Anni - top shooting with the new pistola; looked like it fitted like a glove :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicky T Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Your secret's safe with me Nick (and the 10,000 people who bought the DVD) :blink: Blimey, People actually bought that DVD? You told me you got it free in the Daily Mail, Chard 5,000 of them believe it or not! If only i'd saved that cash, could have bought a nice new shoota now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anni - top shooting with the new pistola; looked like it fitted like a glove We were behind Grant on stand 12, Nick. He shoots with Jim Wagstaff and Mike Sargeson. He's a pretty good shot, but I beat him in my knockout round against Jim. (mind you, that was when I got 92 :blink: ) I think Grant got 89 or something like that. He's a good shot, but you do see him missing some strange ones sometimes. His handicap must be very low too, I would have thought, because he's always in the mid to high 80's or early 90's If you shoot like you did yesterday Nick, I think you'll do it, but I'd get it shot quick, before they recalculate your handicap again. I think your handicap will drop like a brick soon, the way you're shooting and you don't want to go head-to-head with Grant without a bit of cushion (and I don't mean that in any kind of bad way) Edited August 9, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) I believe he's got a 2 handicap so it's do-able : hmm: Hopefully I'll be able to arrange it for next week as the winner of our quarter final could face Mr. Faux in the semis : good: A handicap of 2 doesn't surprise me Nick. I think Mike Faux is a 1 or 2 handicap, so if you get the choice of picking dates, do it sooner rather than later All the very best of luck against both of them I think it was you who asked me who the bloke was that I'd spoken to on stand 12, and I told you it was Harry Roberts. Well, Grant was the bloke who was in the stand when you were asking me. Tallish, late 40's, dark glasses. Dark blue Beretta skeet vest with his name and CPSA number embroidered on it. I kept calling him Grant Donaldson :blink: (senility creeping in) Edited August 9, 2009 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I know the chap you mean - he shoots well so it'll be fun You may well also find yourself going round with that group. At first you might not like that idea, you might feel that you would rather not be surrounded by his buddies in a knockout round, but I would suggest that you do it. They're all pretty good shots and very professional and serious about shooting. I agreed to go round with Jim and all that lot, and none of my usual shooting crowd and I believe it had a major effect on "raising my game" (hence the score of 92, which I've never done before or since). Jim offered me the choice of him coming round with me, Craig and my lot, or just me and him, or for me to join his mob. I opted for the latter and I enjoyed it, definitely focused the mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
