Couldn't hang around for the shoot off yesterday - who won?
(Would normally wait for results on ICPSA site but the chief bottlewasher is away for a few days)

There were 3 shoot offs to find the eventual winner from the top 6 shooters for the South East ABT championship.

After all 8 squads had finished, we had 3 x 96's and 4 x 95's so the 95's shot off to eliminate 1.

Final 6 shot off and after 25 birds, 2 shooters leveled on 25 each.

Final shoot off was between Colin Tanner and Barry Lynch. Colin won the shoot off with 23 and Barry 21.

Great weekend for the shooters with near perfect conditions on Saturday for some high scores!

Thanks Dave.
Sounds like it went on late enough. It was 3.00 when I left and they were still shooting. It was a great weekend and by all accounts those who stayed in The Rising Sun had a good night - little plug for your sponsors:).

There were some hairy targets on the Sunday with the wind, so 96's and 95's were great shooting.

well shot BB on the 25, will b like the buses now! We'll have to promise u a free bacon buttie every weekend now to get a 25 outta u!

Well done Dave on a great weekend, it's great to go to a ground that really makes an effort, they are few and far between. It was really appreciated by everyone.

Is there only one person that can update that site with results? Hey Dave how about putting them up on the BMSC site immediately after each shoot? A lot of people would be interested in seeing them when they get home,

Regards

In support of ICPSA Gen Sec, he normally updates site within hours of us sending results (usually 1st thing next morning). In the past I did post ALL results on BMSC website when I got home after a shoot, but I kept getting hardship from some not so nice people, so I only add when ICPSA has updated the site. Sorry, but if they were all nice guys like you gang on here, I would do it!

If anyone PM's me, I can always send a copy of the scores on Xcel.
Cheers,
David

WTF!
Who on earth would want to give you grief for something like that?

It's your grounds and you should be entitled to post whatever you want about your own grounds on your own website.

BIG BANG

I agree aswell

Very True, but, Yeh but, no but, yeh but - I'm for an easy life and 'certain persons' manage to give hardship when there is 'always' a queue waiting to book in and they complain that the previous score was wrong on the website (as usual its always correct? but some go on & on & on (bit like my posts on here realy!).

Another favourite is not understanding (or maybe they do!) about prizes and the relationship to the number of entires taken in each group. I would like a €1.00 for every time I'm told I got 3rd place, where's my prize (from a class of 6 entries!).

I'll stick with whats easy.

There's not that many decent ones in it and when I get them edited (short for touching up the ugly bits in photoshop) I'll stick them in an album on pix.ie and you'll be able to view them all through the link below.

I'll put all your ones on a disk for you and hopefully have it for Saturday.
