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.

Dry day for the Sunday shoot. The grass has really dried out and vehicles could drive on the fields. Still rather cold in the wind.

Lovely day for the practice shoot at Doddershall, when the sun shone it became even slightly warm. Slight delay to the start of the shoot today, but we finished relatively on time by shooting different combinations of the traps without having to move them to different locations. Mark C brought a friend (Ethan) along to shoot. Hope to see him again at the club again.
The cancelled Kingswood League shoot is going to be held on the 17th April.

A good turn out for the shoot on Sunday. Started with a 40 bird shoot and then as an experiment we had a a two person flurry.
A few intrepid shooters turned up for the Sunday practice shoot. The rain held off, the wind blew producing some interesting variations on the trajectory of the targets. There also seem to be a reticence amongst some members to leave the shelter of the trailer. Yes it felt a tad cool in the wind, though the sun did come out to play.
