As I previously said....
Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
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.

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.

M.A.D.
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
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
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

You come into this world with nothing, go out in debt and you've made a profit
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.

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

Good shooting Vanty, Lewis and Lighty
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
