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?

I'm happy to use Increase Sociability.
Never practice, no need to
Shot a local sporting shoot today, the first in a long time and came second on 37/50. The winner was, Keith Hotshot Hill on a great 40.
He’s such a good shot he really should try for the Welsh team. After only shooting 50 birds last month, I was quite happy with my performance.
Won’t be going tomorrow as I’ve had a very expensive week with my daughter’s graduation from University.
Good luck to the rest of you though, hope the weather stays fair for you all.
Shame that out of 96 sporting shooters at the qualifier, it was down to our Web Master to put a report in just using the scores! Why was it left to him??
FACT, Welsh shooters are a lazy lot..
This blog has been going for a long time now, loads of visitors but very few contributors.
Even my own team mates can’t be bothered..
Well done Dave Lea, your doing a grand job mate.
when i grow up i want to be in your team ken.
Fairplay that must be a record the scores had been updated and put on the wctsa web page by 9.30 sunday night.well done!
They were nearly on there before i got home
Sorry bc, your shooting doesn’t reach the required standard to make my team. As to growing up, it will never happen
How did you get on tk?
Gwynedd’s Keith Hill got an 81 and was joint 8th.
only managed 77 cracking shoot though with good variaty of targets .
Trickey is probabley the best way to describe it especially the flying rabbit which caught nearley everyone out including me didn’t touch one of them and still can’t work out where you had to be on it did keith hit any?
I know of 3 people who were on for 90 plus’s with just that stand to shoot and came off with 85 85 81
I think he was top score on that one on an 8.
Strange that…I thought the sporting discipline was meant to replicate real life birds/animals ie pheasant, crow, duck, teal, rabbit…but Ive never seen a flying rabbit!!! Keith should have tried for the Team!
Keith is trying for the team!! He’s shot 4 qualifiers already.
He needs one more good score and he’s got a great chance of making the team.
He’s asked me for a lesson, but I don’t come cheap
Ive heard that you don’t come cheap!!He does need to drop two pretty big scores which shouldnt be that hard…fingers crossed for him! And he tells me today he’d like to try for the skeet team next yr as well!!
The skeet was my idea, glad he’s finally listened.
There’s three or four Gwynedd shooters whose average at skeet is good enough to make the team.
Yet the fact that none of the qualifiers are held in the North does have a bearing on why no one has tried for the team thus far.
The nearest qualifiers are at Mid Wales, but having two on the same weekend means a very costly weekend as you need to stay overnight somewhere close.
Hopefully next yr will see Llandegla come back in so it will mean a stopover for some of us down here. But bear in mind you DONT have to do both days but obviously it will reduce the number of shoots so if they have two weekends the number of shoots would be reduced to 6 if you only did one day on each weekend.Looks like telpyn wont be in it next yr so that will leave just 3 grounds
TK…were they your photos you sent to Dave Lea?
Why won’t Telpyn be taking part next year then?
He says he doesnt want any competitions there next yr
Yes thought i’d make a contribution,well the mrs had to acctually send them to Dave lea as i’m not very computer literate might take the camera along to a few more shoots i could be the new David Bailey of the sporting shoots.
Anyone know why the home internationals (sporting) have been moved from lakenheath to Barrow heath.
no still keeping my ear to the ground on that bit of news. Well done on the piccies..you made our web administrator a happy man that someone from the sporting fraternity could be bothered so well done to you and the Mrs….trust a woman to be behind it tho!!Still think she could help you do a profile!!
Still cant get to the bottom of Lakenheath. Apparently they are still showing it on their website…so don’t know!
