"Are you ok getting to your car, or do you want me to carry you there as well" Rob Bird asked his partner after shooting the flush!

Well........... where shall we start.........wind to make the targets dance..........straight across the blazing sun, not ideal conditions on what were already demending targets. When the wind got behind the crossers on 5 there was no time to hang about, the first shot had to taken without delay to stand any chance of getting on to the second, which didn't allow time for checking if your lead was correct, it was more a leap of faith!!!.
Stand 4 caused a few problems for some, I found that shooting the battue first with about 3' of lead as it peaked allowed you to shoot the second target before it stopped in the wind with around 1' of lead.
The ones I dropped the most on were 6 and 7, on stand 7, I elected to shoot the left hand target first but it was difficult to read with the changing wind conditions and cost me 3 shots, then stand 6 in the sun cost me another 3.
