stuey Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 i`m from nortumberland and going to whitfield tomorrow. shot at lambton a few weeks back. good day out and addictive bot of them ! Indeed, my favourite stand is the one on the dodgy wooden bridge shooting along the river. Will be there for about 9ish, having a bacon buttie on the Porsche stand. cheers Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to retain the trophy for another year it just a shame it's a 400 mile round trip from staffordshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulos Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hey K, you're spoilt enough for choice down your way, you can't complain that this ONE shoot is too far away! Well shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claybuster Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hey K, you're spoilt enough for choice down your way, you can't complain that this ONE shoot is too far away! Well shot I know we have plenty of choice, but with coniston & whitfield both good venues it makes a refreshing change from the same old grounds each week. I am not complaining but when it's an 18 hour day it gets to you the next day. I think we will have to find a hotel next year Paul dont pack in shooting registerd shoots just jet just be a bit more selective where you shoot. regds K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertan_J Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 You will be talking about it for weeks after!!! Absolutely cracking day up there mate really enjoyed it. Those extreme birds were definitely above my skill level but made up for it on the snipe stand On the downside never knew it was fibre wad only.

elmer fudd Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 just back in ! the high pheasant were hard for us this year as well , drifting off to the right a bit. a gun in my team had a misfire on two stands. not good when it went off when closing. the high pheasant cages make closing the gun a bit tight in the heat of the moment. should be told to step backwards then close. just my opinion tho.

I agree the problem is quite a lot of people didn't even have the time to load before the next drive was over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmer fudd Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I agree the problem is quite a lot of people didn't even have the time to load before the next drive was over them. it made my team think about gun safety a bit more after the miss fire incident. on the high pheasant why is there a tall guard directly in front of you ? forcing you to bring your gun back in to the cage. when the time is tight to reload people forget best practice.

stuey Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 i found the best strategy was to take a step back, bringing the gun down in front of you, reload then barrel up in the same manner. Saw too many shooters with static feet, poking loaded guns about in the cage, and then bringing loaded guns up sideways, with barrels pointing at their team mates - made me cringe stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our squad finished on 1000 ex 1050 and we dropped 26 points on this stand. :blink: :yp: See you all at the big bash on the 29th Rgds K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
