Finally we had a shooting glove left behind when we finished which I will bring to Buxted

Gutted to miss the first shoot of the shs. Well done Lewis.

Many thanks to Richard and team at Ford for getting the series kicked off today - the course was just right (apart from that wretched FORD sign.....)

As I previously said....

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[pjacobs]

Great shoot and well done to all those fantastically high scores - damned wind!
Many thanks to Richard and team for setting a great course; and to Charles and team for their efforts in relation to the SHS. It was both demanding and most enjoyable. Great stuff!

And things were going sooo well ...... until my stripper fell apart I suppose what's most frustrating is that it took me 8 lanes to figure out what the problem was

Hey ho, there's always another round (or 7).

Thanks to Ford and the SHS crew for all their hard work in preparing for and delivering a great opening round.

Would you please - just for me - add a "have you checked for loose screws" to the safety briefing.

A big thank you to all at Ford for a cracking days shooting, throughly enjoyed my first vist.

Looking forward to the next round.

Ford sign? What Ford sign? .....oh! that one that fell over for me 😊

If we asked people to check if they had a screw loose we'd never get round to actually shooting

[DreamGenie]

An excellent start to the Southern Hunter season! Nice to catch up with everyone again!
Well done to all the winners. That wind certainly had me foxed! String said one thing, pellet said another! The Ford sign got my donut too!!!
Thanks to Gary and Alex for the shoot, and the lift.
Looking forward to Buxted.

Was a good day, really enjoyed it..wind had me puzzled( don't take much lol) can't wait for round 2, oh and I dropped the ford sign too

[fastnick]

May I echo Charles' thanks to Richard et al at Ford for laying on a cracking day's sport for all of us - a really enjoyable course, enough wind to make things very interesting, and even the rain held off (mostly!)

Will definitely be back before next summer's SIHFT rounds to sample the delights of Ford again

[Enthusiast]

Charles, Terry and Chris - awesome organisation, smooth as a smooth thing.

Thanks to the Fordies who made that happen, thanks to the massive turnout who made it so worthwhile.

I missed the Ford sign btw, I got a donut...course setter's advantage

Love ya

Great to see Mr Bainbridge again

Thanks to Ford and all involved with SHS for letting me drive down to peg1. Back still hurts this morning but not as much as if I had to walk all that way.

[Lol Moore]

Sounds like fun gutted that other duties had to take precedence - but there is always next time

Having seen the course I am in awe of some of the scores - well done to the top guns

[rogb]

Good shooting Vanty, Lewis and Lighty

[NSRH]

Thanks Ford for putting on a top shoot and to Charles and the SHS team for all their great work.

Enjoyed the shoot despite my dismal score, great company, thanks to Fluffy for the transport and finding my phone

A superb burger van arrived
