ah well i wouldnt be 100% agreed with shooting the1st, 3rd and 4th.if its a case of a fella working the 1st its understandable.but imo the sh¡te would be shot out of a place if everyone went out all 3 days

Nov 3rd is.......... Saint Huberts day! The patron saint of hunters and mathematicans!:D
Hence the date choice..

Not my point really - a lot of lads that work & shoot may not get the day off & therefore the Sat might be the first oppurtunity.
You would think for European Hunter Day the organizers would move a week into October if going to be held this time of year given that the 1st of Nov is the start of so many seasons.
Just an opinion...

And the first bishop of the town of Liege, patron saint of metal workers, FN and Browning brings us nicely back to shooting

and opticians o_O
i understand that.thats what i said its a different story for lads that work.but for those that can choose their days id see it unsportsmanship to be out 3 days.so the saturday could be a day to talk of long tails for those that can choose

I don't necessarily disagree & I don't know am I being clear but its not really the morals of 1,2,3,4 days shooting in a row but rather the logic involved in organizing an event at a time when you can't maximize the day for people involved in the sport. I bet you more than 50% of the lads on here will be shooting the 3rd of Nov. However 7 days earlier as in this Saturday that 50% won't be & it could be a good thing to attend to get into the mood, meet folks like you said etc

Although If the 3rd is a Saint Day then I see why it's done as it has been.
Be curious to know if it was it held on a midweek day last few years...
