A very pleasant Sunday morning club shoot was held at Doddershall. Weather was warm, and no strong winds. New born spring lambs were in the fields. We had five stands set up, and a training stand for a group of novices. The five practice stands were a mixture of demanding and not so demanding. We had twenty club members shooting and a couple guests. There was also the training stand where Mark was teaching a group of beginners. If you want to learn to shoot clays, please contact the secretary or chairman and we will make sure there is a training stand for you.
For those of you who want to go to Wales on the 7th May I need to know numbers by Wednesday.
An enjoyable shoot at Drayton Parslow, although a little windy which made the targets very sporting. Congratulations to James who takes the Trophy home.

Marston always puts on a good league shoot and we greatly enjoyed the shoot. The scores were generally high and Kingswood managed a very respectable score with Adrian and Barry breaking 44 clays each to come third equal behind Chris Cherry (Crown) and Chris Davis (Akeley). Not a bad result.

Despite a rather inauspicious start to the day, rain (I had been constantly looking for the email announcing the cancellation of the shoot), a reasonable number of members attended the shoot. The ground was saturated from the rain during the last few days. The rain stopped by 10, and the sun came out. The wind did rise, resulting in some unpredictable flight patterns taken by the targets. Brian set up a couple of stands with a demanding target. Thankfully the other target on the stand was easier. We must thank Ann for the Lemon Drizzle cake and cookies.

Wow, what a difference a week makes with the weather. It was almost short sleeve weather today at Quainton. No rain, light wind, and the sun threatening to shine. A good mix of targets had been setup by Brain and Dawn from DB Guns of Thame. There were 21 shooters in the practice shoot, plus some beginners. We had a beginner stand with Mark Hill providing tuition. Beginners are welcome to come and try shooting. Please let us know before coming, we can then ensure we have a coach and stand available for beginners.

The scores on the doors
Miserable cold day for a shoot, with sleet and rain. Parking was restricted to the road because of the wet field. The shoot was the usual layout we have come to expect from Akeley. Some contention about the scoring with another 52 bird shoot.
Despite the rubbish weather we managed to field the required number of shooters. Results will be posted when I receive them.
We had a great turnout today at the Doddershall ground with 26 shooting. The day was cloudy, dry and cool. No wind, to disturb the clays, and no sun in our eyes. The mini trap was out again, practicing for the Welsh shoot. We shot round in four squads to reduce the waiting time. There though was an unavoidable delay at 11 when a group of joggers passed through the shooting ground. This was known about before hand, so tea and coffee were served as we gave encouragement to the runners. I think we all enjoyed the shoot. Some new faces as well. We must congratulate Mark H on his practice with the rabbit target. Fifty cartridges and two targets hit!
Next week there is the League shoot at Akeley. Everybody is encouraged to attend, fifty bird shoot for £10 and all ready set up for us. The following week the club meeting is at Quainton.
