And not forgetting tony for putting on a nice layout for us, Please take the time to leave your comments in my home page guestbook. many thanks for viewing Pete. And now a mention of 3 new shooters. coached by me at farnley. 7th dec 2008. Firstly young jake healey. Just taking up clays at 13 years old. sorry Jake I forgot your picture but I'll get one later. Came for his first lesson with a gun that was too big for him and didn't fit. however after 20 minutes coaching, went with his dad onto the main shoot, I met up with him on a looper stand, the one most clay shooters dread, a word in his ear and he dusted 6 out of 8, we'll be seeing more of Jake later i'm sure. next, this pair of lads never shot clays before.
After 20 mins coaching I took em out onto the main shoot, thy hit everything going achieving aprox 30 out of 50. could be shooting for the 1012 olimpics?
This was a competitive, event arranged for the lads, Most having never shot before, this was the first event of this kind for them. Having tried everything from archery to tiddlywinks Here is the group of happy shooters. after a corking Rufforth breakfast
First man up, paul,
He drew the short straw having arranged the event He had the dubious task of going first, with The gun I took on the day, my winchester sporter. Too long in the stock for him. he still shot well,
now for the rest of the team. High Tower. I could just see over His elbow. and I am 6 foot.
Good stance and gun mount.
Where is the little bugger I'll get him
Got him.
And last but not least Adrian.left handed, but with a dominant right eye, hit about 3 of his first 15 shots, shooting from his left shoulder. Then swopped the gun to his rt shoulder, and started smashing the clays to finish 2nd over all
The lads all did well on the day, being a new venture for them, and I am sure they all enjoyed the experience. The winner on the day. High Tower, don't ask me how he did it I couldn't see over his elbow!. All the best lads and many thanks to Phill and his team, for the excellent set up.
A nice hot sunny day, as usual the clients all enjoyed them selves, starting with the usual butties and beverages. followed by a 40 bird shoot. then back to the restaurant for a slap up feast. Here are some pictures of the happy gang.
relaxing between stands
and going for them pesky clays.
teaching the lads to shoot unmounted gun produced some fine shooting.
This chap never held a shotgun before. started slow first stand, and went on to achieve top male novice shooter, with 30/40. won a bottle of champers. well done.

i'm happy.
tony (with the beard) says no more butties for this lad he's had 4 already.

A well mounted gun gets another result.
