Fantastic Young Shooter show’s The Oldies the Way..

Gwyn Roberts is a very talented young DTL shooter from Gwynedd. Gwyn tried for the Welsh junior DTL team again this year, with the Home International being held in Scotland. Although Gwyn shot very well all season, he produced some exceptional scores towards the end of the DTL team qualifiers - for example on the 6th Welsh team DTL qualifier he shot 100/297 and was fourth in the overall shoot out of all the competitors.

Cartridge Prices Beyond a Joke..

Any decent cartridge these days are £160 plus and it’s getting difficult to find any for under a £140

Are we being priced out of shooting, I really think most of us are?

Administrator From The South Wanted..

Due to my present financial position I’ve had to give up shooting for the foreseeable future.

This means I won’t be attending any major shoots for the rest of the year.

For my Blog to continue I need someone to join as an administrator,  who will be given  full administrative rights.

You will have rights to start new posts, edit existing ones, allow new members, remove members, in other words all the powers I have as Blog owner.

A good knowledge of Wordpress would be an advantage.

I would prefer someone from South Wales,  as most shooting grounds and therefore most major shoots are down South.

Anyone with any interest, please contact me at: contact@clayshootingwales.com

Regards, Ken.

Hopefully we’ll all have a good day whatever we score

County Teams short of Shooters This Year.

I’ve noticed on the WCTSA website that a few counties are struggling to get enough shooters to make a full team, especially in skeet.

In the past Gwynedd have always had to borrow from other Counties just to make a senior team, yet this year we’re actually lending out shooters to other struggling counties.

To me the secret is to get the shooters who usually don’t even try for a county place due to their belief ‘that they’re not good enough’, to shoot a couple of qualifiers.
Half this years Gwynedd team have never shot anything apart from local ‘field’ shoots, yet they’ve had a go after a bit of friendly persuasion from established team members.
I know they will enjoy the finals and it will be a great experience for them, hopefully encouraging them to try again next year.

My message to Welsh shooters, join the association and have a go, you WILL enjoy the experience and be a better shooter for it

Llandegla and Dovey back in the Association.

Glad to see that the problems with Llandegla and Dovey Valley have now been resolved

Both are now associated with the WCTSA which is great news for North Wales Shooters.

My blog gets around a hundred visitors a day yet no shooters from the South have left a comment or sent me any info on shoots etc. At this rate I will have to change the name to clayshootinggwynedd.com
