Darren Nat Tony Graham Simon
Well that was a fun mornings shooting. At the last shoot Darren
had set up what he called a technical shoot this one was similar
but with a few surprises thrown in. Take the high bird over the
top of the trees, this was higher and with the spring wound up
quite a bit faster combine this with the rabbit which was moved
closer to the shooting point and with the spring wound off, like
a rabbit with two broken legs, this did lead shooters to rush
their shots when there was no need to. On some of the other
stands especially the crossers and quartering ones you had to
get your pick up point and more importantly your breaking
point correct that’s to say your feet and body position. Although
the scores were a reasonable, average 45 to 55 these would had
been higher if more attention had been paid to the feet and
body position on all stands, think about it before you call pull.
Had a chat with a few of the shooters after they had finished
and it was interesting to hear that some of the stands were a
bit tricky while others found the same ones no problem, maybe
it’s that feet and body position I was talking about, anyway
there were a few more cards in the mid 60 so some folk were
getting it right. We did have the weather gods with us, so a dry
but over cast morning plus a bit of wind now and again. Big
thanks to Graham.L for supplying the pic’s of you guys. Next
shoot is on the 26
th
April, hope to see you all back here then.TC
