Not used twitter in years but I really do think we need to be doing more to educate the public on the benefits of grazing and the conservation work farmers and gamekeepers do after someone in the pub said to me I don’t agree with what we would call strip grazing.

Just my opinion but i’ve kennelled my dogs for the last 3 months and they seem better behaved for it anyone else of the same opinion the only problem i’ve had has been increased barking from them being disturbed and my bitches fighting.

Just had a quote to replace one injector for my car some mild swearing was involved just looked at the train ticket price to get me somewhere tomorrow more swearing ocoured the price of the train ticket would buy me enough fuel to drive 1400 miles 🤦🏻‍♂️

happy with an 80 got rather annoyed with two people in my sqaud so rushed 11 and 12 can you tell 😂 should be another 8 -14 on there in the top 29 that’ll do !

Just had a compliment off one of the refs I shot with the other day just make sure you hit all the bread and butter targets you hit the hard ones the other day 🤦🏻‍♂️

Got it all covered this morning first time using pro piston there will probably be a few on the end of my barrel !

Shooting the Semi auto masters at Barbury this morning only down side is i’ve two taxis and a train to take before getting there I was unfortunate enough to breakdown on Wednesday on the way back from a comp and now have no car fuel injectors are expensive 🤦🏻‍♂️

Heading up to Thimbleby shooting ground next weekend certainly wasn’t expecting that for a day trip out 😂

Happy with a 78 still unclassified would of won Saturdays shoot only shot 4 comps since February and probably not even that in practice first time at LW on Saturday I’d like to be into A class within 3-6 months it’s achievable !

Still can’t get my head around if i hadn’t of dropped 2 single targets on two stands and 2 pairs i would of won high gun at my first club shoot at Lady’s wood shooting school i’d have to shoot another 12-14 on average to win HG any where else !

4th comp i’ve shot this year and i’ve just shot a 78 x 100 at english sporting high gun won on a 86 i’ll take that all day long hoping to get into the high 80s soon !

Has any one tried billing there local council for tyres had a tire cut up on this pot hole in cheltenham on wednesday and thought i’d try it it’s only a recent hole i was told if it’s not been marked you can claim ?

8pm and I’m considering a early one good day shooting the 100 sporting registered comp at barbury nice too see the averages lower then normal went expecting to be shooting in the 80s for my score card to be destroyed on stand 8 with a big 60-70 yard looper !

What a 🤬 at least it’s outside a pub wait and see if my tyre goes down and have a pint in the meantime 🤦🏻‍♂️

Micro chipping day 5 still available 7 weeks today !

Just a thought but I think dogs do get better with age my first dogs certainly changed a little recently as he’s matured I don’t think i’ll ever have one as individual and as independent as him he is his own boss working on his own terms. #lakelandterrier

It’s not very often I take something away from a shooting lesson but yesterday’s words are resonating I obviously need to put more time in with the new gun and better structured practice and most importantly discipline and focus it was nice to be told i should be 80% plus.

Convinced my self it’s about time to get another O/U after 3 years shooting a semi auto also convinced my self to get a stock made fed up of having to adapt and bend things to my 6ft 7 statue as I say shooting a gun that doesn’t fits like driving a car with the seat forward.

A bit scrappy but not completely disappointed considering I shot with my new gun and have hardly shot since moving house a few more straighten stands would of been nice great variety of targets at @BarburyShooting !
