English open week

So I got the gun out on Saturday for practice and took a trip upto eriswell lodge lakenheath for the first time since it opened the week prior. 

I started by shooting the sportrap with Aaron Harvey and shot reasonably well apart from one target which was even causing the England junior trouble .

I then shot a few tricky stands of sporting and shot well missing the odd one here and there .

I finished shooting some skeet birds and again only missed the odd one or two so left there in confident mood .

Monday I went over to clacton in my new car and shot the Suffolk skeet championships . I started well missing 1 low on station 6 . I then had a blip and dropped to a 22 dropping on stations 1,2 and 4. The third round I only missed the high house on station 1 . I finished badly missing the simmo pair on station 1 and then one on station 6. So finished on a 92 . A respectable score however I was hoping for 94 to keep up my improvement .

This week I shoot the English open sporting at my local ground of high lodge. .  I am the current disabled standing champion of this one and am desperate to retain my title. I shoot on the second last squad on the Sunday.

Fingers crossed I have a good day . I know if I keep my head down the black gold will do the business.

Happy shooting
