    Any ideas on the wind yet?

    I did a search for the weather and got a bit worried when I came across this,

    Colgate weather

    Which showed thunderstorms and a 58 percent chance of rain at 11am. But my fears where extinguished when I noticed this was for Colgate in America.

    So I looked else where and got this,

    Colgate Weather 2

    which now shows 11mph winds and a good chance of sun burn. So any guesses on what we are really in for?

    BBC are saying 14/15 mph but it seems to be dropping from the 17/18 mph forecast yesterday, so fingers crossed.

    Did I say I hate wind

    looks like it will be a tad warm,so I will have to drag the mutt round with me.

    Wowsa, the field is going to be a nightmare, with the met office now saying sustained wind speeds around 14mph and gusts of 27mph.

    Met Offfice Forecast

    How many dots do you give for 27mph? at say 45 yards?

    ​I wouldn't give you two-pence for your chances of any useful responses from this lot.

    Big thanks to all that came along to the Hawks today

    I haven't enjoyed a shoot that much in some time and the cherry on the top
    Was a win for Horsham.

    Yes I know home corse and all that but a win is a win....
    Thanks to all the Hawks for you work in setting a top notch course.

    Lets give Mike time to have a sit down and a cuppa then I am sure he will be along
    With the scores.

    Thanks again

    Derek

    Well done Hawks

    Cheers Hawks, another great course. Really enjoyed the course, so testing shoots.

    You lot should be call Ewoks and not Hawks as they all live in trees, bloody tree shoots.

    Great shoot

    There is no more fun than offering sweets and snatching them away at the last moment!
    Enjoyed the day need to practice more, on those close 8 yarders or at least change my scope so I can see them.

    Thanks to all the course setters and the trained Monkey that set the tree shots as no human could have climbed that high.
    (Joke Steve it had to be you!)

    Sorry who is in the lead Sponge Bob?

    Got to say Conrad watching you knocking them down with the old boinging thing in .22 made me realise what its all about when I kept seeing the smile on your face.

    Well done.

    Hawks top course enjoyed the pain almost but the old Toxic Melon made my day.
