    Ouch

    I used to like the Buxted courses , now i just hope you all fall in a huge pile of nettles .... i didnt think courses could get anymore hard or frustrating and yet still enjoyable .

    Huge thanks to all the course setters for this , all the people who donated and turned up to shoot in aid of a charity that is very close to home .

    AGAIN massive thanks to my ever suffering helpers Kev H and Ivan today was the first time ive had to take my fall asleep , up with the fairies pain killers so they really had their work cut out .

    one of the highlights for me today was seeing two junior shooters giving away their prizes , Harvey won a box of chocolates , opened them and went round offering everyone one , Gabe gave his bottle of plonk to Barbara and Roy Pierce .... Nice to see and heart warming .... good on ya lads, good on ya.

    Well that was one shoot not too miss, although I gotta admit I did miss the positionals (sorry Andy but I can't help it ;-) )
    Thanks to course setter......blah blah blah, look I cant keep saying how great you guys are for setting the courses all the time but yeah your all great PLUS where would a lot of these top shoots be without you guys, hats off to you lads cheers !

    Well done all the top shots for some fantastic scores with some tricky breezes later on in the day, well done.

    Good job all...

    £890 brilliant

    96....top bombing Justin, well shoot mate....said it before he's a machine

    Buxted you excelled yourselves, I fell into at least half a dozen cunning traps....shooting a pellet as a range finding tool is almost as good as a laser range finder......bit late then....oh bugger it was 35 not 25 etc.

    Have to fess up, I was in denial on a donut, the lads thought I missed, I thought I didn't, the card ended up with a zero so all's good.

    Our Justin produced an excellent shot on one of the harder 15mm jobbies, right through the hole, problem was there was no paddle behind the hole....must remember to pull those strings

    Which devious so and so fuzzed the edge up on the round plate at around peg 4...tricky bugger

    Big rabbit small rabbit....big diamond small diamond....my head hurts

    Firstly like to thank everyone who gave so generously, I know Darren for whom this charity is so particularly relevant was blown away with all your generosity. So thank you all and well done.

    Russ nail on the head, the shooting community is obviously nurturing youth that we can and are proud of. Respect kids.

    Also big thanks to our landowners who waived their rent for the day towards the charity.

    Still got the nettle sting on me belly, need to buy some fat bastard shirts obviously.


    Well done everyone, a good cause, good to see our sport doing some good.

    That course taught me a thing or two, mainly that if you follow Mr Morrison around, there is a trail of sweeties...

    I loved the shoot and the company but have to say that the best target of the day was when I had to lay in the holly bush. I got both of those targets and it improved my attitude no end.
    Does anyone know how to contact doughnuts Anonymous cos I just cant seem to give them up and may be a 0 addict
