I started on the Black course which I had heard was slightly harder than the red , however started well with an 8 . I then went onto miss a few early on on some straightable stands however shot some of the tougher stand okay. I finished on the extreme stand shooting 3/4 which left me on 73/100. 11 clays better than last year so far.
After a very short break and a squad split I started on Red course and started a bit slow with a 6. However I steadily improved up until the driven where I kissed a couple of birds then missed 3 on a simmo pair of incoming orange birds .
I then picked up again missing the odd one right up until stand 13 where I only shot 1/4. This left me on 82 which I was pleased with.
155 total meant I was just outside B class prizes ; twelve was joint on 160.
Realistically with some better weather I think I could have shot another 6-8 clays in total but I am pleased with how I shot and my progress over the last few months .
Next competition is the Suffolk skeet championships at Eriswell Lodge. I would like to put in a decent score there to attempt to make the Suffolk squad . Last year I missed out because I was on holiday .
