Thread: anyone shooting nationals and world's this week?

Wondering if anyone is doing it. Im shooting last 3 days of nationals and then worlds, couldn't justify shooting the whole lot

I'm not but have a mate from down here who I duck shoot with in the NZ team who is doing the lot.

No, shot our Nationals a couple of weeks ago!!!
Don't like standing on a concrete pad much, BUT wish Waikato All the best, they have put in a huge amount of work.
They must have the best, most modern club rooms anywhere in NZ, and huge credit goes to them for the efforts put in.

Yep its a good ground alright. Wish our other "national" ground would pull finger

I must say it was mainly the Sporting shooters up there that put in the work from what I hear!!
Hope they get some reward, I hear a rumour that they want a 50/60' tower, that would certainly add something up there.
That said they throw blood great targets off flat ground.
Do you mean Canterbury pulling finger?

Yeah Hamilton is pretty sporting orientated these days, a lot of people have been putting in work. Yep Canterbury

No. Don't shoot mudpies. Only shoot skeet to keep my grade and for sporting practice to get muscle memory right. The concrete hurts my clown feet as well

Got my mud pie eye in at ashburton today, was the only one who could hit 100! Should be a good week of shooting quite looking forward to it as I haven't shot Dtl worlds before... Some pom won the ball trap yesterday on 49/50 with no shoot off required

Ha Ha my last straight hundy mudpies was at Ashburton as well....... in 2006!! Good shooting man!!

Yup, managed it myself a few times shooting mudpies. Have 3 98's and 3 99's on American skeet, never managed a hundy.

where is this happening at?

Hamilton

Never shot 100 straight, nothing like it to be honest. Had a couple of 25's at Sporting over the years. I suppose it is a World Championship so that does count for something. I just love the pud pie boys paying for Hamilton's future Sporting gear, it certainly makes a change.
The Canterbury comment didn't go unnoticed!
Looks like the Aussies are holding their own looking at results on NZCTA website: http://www.nzclaytarget.org.nz/incl/getpdf.php?id=1650

Yep to be honest I dont think many titles will be won by nzers this year but you never no. All the aussies are back on 25m for handicap today while we are only on 21. Should have a chance. Be interesting to see how far single rise shoot ofc goes on Wednesday hopefully I can give it a nudge

PerazziSC3 Good Luck!! Any shotgun World Championship no matter what code is great fun. Well I always thought so and I've spent plenty chasing Sporting all over the world.
Only sorry I'm missing the big Sporting shoot in Dubai on at the moment, $US 140,000 for winner, $US35,000 for the ladies!!
They have just announced that next year it will have $US1,000,000 purse, be great just to be part of that circus!!
Take it to those Aussies and Poms, try a bit of good old cricket sledging on them!!!

Jesus wish there was decent money to be had in new zealand. ..
Cheers mate
