Practice Shoot Doddershall 6th April 2025
The weather has continued to be dry, making this the first shoot in a long time where I could walk on the ground without wellies. The prolonged dry spell has already led to calls for rain from the farming community. Today was my first time arriving on site at 8:00 am to help with the setup, which I found surprisingly fun and instructive. The good weather definitely made it enjoyable, and I have great respect for those who set up on cold, wet, and dark mid-winter mornings. We shot our usual five stands, but this time, due to the number of shooters, we had a sixth stand ready. Unfortunately, one trap malfunctioned, causing one stand to have a following bird for the second target.
Just a reminder, the next Sunday shoot has been cancelled and is being replaced by our Good Friday shoot, which will include a fish and chip lunch in Ludgershall village hall.
