    Damn,

    I must be psychic , 'xactly what happened. Tough course ('es an 'ard man, but fair), thanks to Buxted for a good day out, top shooting by the high scorers, that was a typical Buxted course

    Thoroughly enjoyable course today (too many targets I liked to mention) and a good laugh. There was some incompetent buffoon manning the booking in table (I'm surprised Andy didn't shoot him).

    It was over too quickly.

    No Ben I actually thought it was seamless and look at your score who would have thought all those doghnuts you were eating a year ago you would finish in the top third of the field on a course like todays. Respect.

    Thanks Andy, I've got to admit it feels good not to miss a target; plating 'em is a tad annoying though.

    It does feel weird shooting out in the field at Buxted; those wind pixies run riot.

    Au contraire mon ami. It was much appreciated and as Andy says, seamless.

    Thank you to Buxted for a superb course, the placing of those targets was amazing. I tried many times to move away from the intended view of the target only to find it blocked by a tree or leaf etc. which forced the shooter back to what they wanted us to shoot at. That is target placement of the highest order

    I salute the course setters, that was a work of pure genius.

    I was lucky today. Lucky...but very happy

    Sir Richard Rat the woods owed you something and they gave it back to you today.

    It was a pleasure to give you the trophy, a more worthy winner on the Sussex scene I cannot think of.

    Agree with the first sentiment whole heartedly.

    Got the voicemail late mate but The Shire don't do One to No One only O2 and my kids and my wife are on that network but I am unfortunately on Voda and Virgin so didn't get your message until much later in the day. Next year we will be back with the countries best regional series and you Mr Baxterbasics are always welcome where polotics and ######## are not. For some one who has put so much into tin chickens Graham you really do need to get out and enjoy the show. We have an awfull lot of quite blokes with big sticks who will gladly stand infront of whoever we deem deserving and you are one of those. Buxted are your colours mate so just come and enjoy the show. It dosen't get any better.
