Sussex Interclub HFT 2017 - Round 10 RESULTS

[Bob P]

I nearly didn't bother turning up today due to the forecast but had a great shoot.
Think that's the first time I've shot with Mr Biggles, what a thoroughly nice chap, thanks for the company.
Very pleased with the HW today.

Big thanks to the Oakies for putting on a tricky course. Moving the wood around again was a nice move - I've just realised that the field only cost me two points - so can you put the wood back as it was please?

GO TEAM BUXTED!!

[Herp]

Thank you Oakies for a relly enjoyable day's shooting.

To witness Beardy bitch and groan about his run of 7 one's made my day

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Mike for organising such a fabulous series.

Congratulations to the Hobbits for their series win, somehow I think the Oakies might have something to say about that when their talisman returns next year Well that assumes he finally finishes the extention

On a personal note, I just want to say I was taken back by the beautiful park bench that has been dedicated to Terry, it is a wonderful tribute to your friendship and his memory. Well done folks!

The Ford Open will be on next weekend so if you are at a loose end feel free to come by and join in. I will be posting details of the shoot shortly.

Looking forward to SIHFT 2018 already.

See you all soon,

Steb

Thanks to Phil M for pointing out the error of my ways on incorrectly dating this year's End of Season meeting at Buxted. It is, of course, on the 22nd October. It WILL be the 28th Oct in 2018 !!

Peed off that, even with a 100%, I could only claw my way to within 1.59% of a podium place.

I knew this in advance, of course, but NOT that I'd come away with 100% today.

Just 1 point in some of the earlier 9 rounds would have made that difference.

Who said that not every shot counts. It's why I never (ever) throw in the towel.

Thanks for coming guys, nice break from building !!

Some great boinger scores!

I was shooting well until i got to the last 10 targets, where i dropped 5!!! how i laughed, especially as they were 'average' targets!....

Thank to the two Phils for putting up with me, i really enjoyed my shooting today, i got EVERY positional!

There was some wind on that there hill though

Thanks to all the 'behind the scenes' organisers, everybody appreciates it!

Thanks to all The Oakies, you were small in numbers but BIG in spirit!!

Last and least... A big well done to Buxted, you have some decent shooters! (when there is no wind...)

Too right, you soon learn that your 'crap' score is sometimes the least crap, on the day!!

In the unlikely event that anyone (apart, perhaps, from the course setter) would be morbidly interested, I did a quick check to look at the results from the Magic Fairy lane up in the field.

'Platers' = 20
Knock Overs = 12
Doughnuts = 13

I bet that wasn't the only 'naughty' target... (oh and i got it )

One of the better targets was the small circle around number 7 or 8'ish, great range trap!

It's a fair cop, I did bitch and moan what peeved me most was the fact that about 5 of those were vertical. You go to all that bother of getting the wind right and then it lifts the pellet as well. The swine. I definitely need to go back to the drawing board

Pleasure to watch Pat slam them in, I thought he was going to clear it the way he started!

Great series, thanks to the organisers again. Without you it wouldn't happen.

But then hey, who cares?

We came third

HURRAH

[CrystalPistal]

"Those either side of me gave it 3 to 4 dots hold to the left and one of them was delighted to see their pellet sail pass the right edge of the plate."

SAIL !!!! IT WAS A FLAMIN FOOT WIDE 1.5 dots ......sheesh

[Herp]

But then hey, who cares?

We came third

HURRAH

HURRAH indeed

[EwanH]

Sounds like I missed a good days comp ;-(, couldn't make this round as I done my back in yet again so proning was out, I could have shot the course standing but a score of 0 wasn't appealing ;-)
Thanks lad's for hosting / organising another years SiHFT already looking forward to the next one.
