We received notification last week that our son has made it onto the Lancashire Team for Sporting Clay Shooting.
Needless to say we are all made up!
Seen as he has only been shooting for less than 12 months and only gets chance to practice once a week he has done very well. The first shoot is at Manchester Shooting Ground on the 18th September so we will be keeping our fingers crossed. Especially as he is now back at school and that game shooting season is upon us.......
Will keep you all posted as to how he progresses.

Catton Hall Update
We arrived at Catton Hall Shooting Ground about 10.30 and after a brew in the clubhouse Phil & Seb were eager to get going.
There are 14 stands of which some are 3 pairs and others 4 pairs.
Seb got of to a flying start with the new gun, it has made such a difference to him (but I think starting with a 20 bore has helped a lot)
Phil was very nervous and it showed in his shooting.
We went round with Mr Potter, a very nice chap and met others on the way round. Seb has a new hero, Nicky T! (may have something to do with paintballing!)
Seb had his best round ever with a score of 49, which is great as he has only been clay shooting for 3 months. As he was only 4 behind dad he was really pleased!
Conniston may be the next one on the 10th of April, on the same day there is also a memorial shoot for James Dewhurst who was sadly killed in a car accident along with his cousin Sam Lund. Seb us away with school then and us upset to miss it as it is his home ground.
Call back soon for more!

It will be an early start tomorrow when we are off to Catton Hall in Cheshire for the 1st time.
Will be interesting to see how Seb gets on with the new gun on a different ground.
Call back tomorrow for an update!

Vocal Bavarian!
Casca, our Bavarian Mountain Hound decided last night to audition for The Hounds of the Baskerville!
I don't think we will be too popular with the neighbours!
So early this morning we went to the shoot to continue catching up the hen pheasants, unfortunately we only had 2 in the catchers. However that brings the total to 53, which is not bad for a small shoot.
It has been decided to leave it now until next weekend, which is good as otherwise it is 2 x 20 mile trips per day.
Any recipes anyone would like? Please let me know!
Have a Musto Ladies Shooting waistcoat going on the website next week! Www.Bavarian-mountainhound.co.uk - bookmark us and keep checking in for lots more!

Classified!
Well, they have now done their 3 claypigeon shoots which gives them a temporary classification. Seb was the highest scoring 'colt' on one of the shoots, so he is really pleased.
One of the colts missed some clays, he then got a strop on, kicked his Dad and then got carted home halfway through!
Weekend off but they went to Coniston on Wednesday where they both got reasonable scores on the Compack range. Next weekend off to Shugborough again.
I have got some new items arriving soon on www.Bavarian-mountainhound.co.uk keep looking for more things coming soon!

The Clay Shooting continues............
At 7am (on a Sunday morning!) Phil and Seb set off again (this time without me) to go to 2 new shooting grounds.
They need to get 3 authorised shoots in before the end of March and a further 2 before the end of April. This will then give them the classification score that they need to enter Clay Pigeon Shooting competitions.
Today they have gone to Doveridge and Kingsley Moor (also perhaps going to Catton Hall).
Last week they did ok but it is all still a learning experience for them both.
During the week they had a lesson at Coniston Shooting Ground in North Yorkshire, a beautiful setting and really nice people. The shooting lodge is fantastic!
Fingers crossed they do well but there are so many good shots out there.
