How many Clears at your club ?????????

[jagxkrs]

I think at MAD since we have been going there may have been 5 clears ,I know Owen Rosser and Richard Woods and I think maybe Darren Lindsey,Sparky and Vinny so what we are doing this year is each monthly shoot and Southern Hunters ,2 UKAHFTers ,UK Springers and the Chris Cundey shoots we will put £10.00 each shoot into a kitty and the first man or women to clear a course at MAD will take the running total purse .

It should be abit of a talking point and a great achievment which might be worth a few bob .

So the first £10.00 will be up for grabs on Sunday the 3rd Jan and if it is;nt won we will have £20.00 in FEB and so on untill its won.

The Bluebell Wood.

In the shire, there is a wood,
A leafy dell, where Hobbits shoot,
When all about is wild and wet,
The Buxted wood is better kept,

This magic place, serene, sublime,

The hallowed haunt of fifty-nine,
One by one, step up the best,
And one has yet to pass the test,

A spell long cast in days of old,

To thwart the brave, the strong, the bold,
Words abound and deeds are few,
The three score waits, a champion true,

Will it be me?

Perchance 'tis you.

'The oaks' has never been cleared either, (slightly less poetic than the Gay Hobbit bouncer) but true nonetheless!
Not exactly sure why Hobbit Wood has never been cleared?
they are pretty clever with target placement, we have some tricky places for targets, plus we get a LOT of wind when it is even a bit breezy!

Just a matter of time of course!

TH-W, has been cleared only once, and this was not during one of our comps.

I've only managed a 59/60.

i have shot two 59's at two different clubs but never cleared one yet !!! thought i would do it last week .....first 40 points in the bag then dropped 12 points out of the last 20 bloody daystates or me buckling under the pressure as normal

[blackscale]

We were discussing this today, on paper it is not exactly rocket science and there have been plenty of shoots i have been to, where i should have cleared it!!
Thing is put the pressure of shooting in a comp with even a small amount of wind...the dreaded stander and the twig you didn't see, the trigger you touched, px error and you arrive at your 57, 58's and 59's....

A clear is reasonably attainable by several shooters, it is all them unknowns!!

Well done Dop

I believe our club has only seen one clear, in lots of years.

if we did the money in the pot scheme it might run into millions

perhaps a small kitty for anyone who sets a new P.B may be an idea

only thing with that is,i need a clear to reach it

must have been easy if he cleared

2 as far as I know at Ford.

One at a UKAHFT a few years back and then by Derek Watson in a SIHFT last year. Clever, clever chaps.
