Interclub with WRGC - 27 Sept

PPC were invited to do an 'interclub' style shoot with Wgtn Rifle & Gun on their range day.
4 members of the PPC turned up (Dave, Jan, Angus & myself) along with 7 members from WRGC.

We setup a couple of nice easy courses on top range (El Pres + 4x steel animals).  The WRGC guys had 5 stations setup for their clays.

The team was split into 2 squads and then headed off to the ranges to 'have a go'
Instruction was provided both ways on how to do each others discipline, and the COFs were engaged.

As per usual, a lot of fun was had by both sets of clubs in engaging each others styles.

One thing that I definately learnt.... I am NOT a clay bird shooter... LOL
I suppose with anything, practice would definately increase my hit rate (although it couldn't have been much worse)... but still it was great fun as I do enjoy hanging off the end of a 12guage every now & then.

Ian & I talked about making this a bit more of a regular event, and I can see the merits in doing this... the idea will be pursued further !!
It is always beneficial to shoot other styles and introduce people to what we shoot, and it is something that I definately encourage others to do.... get out there & give it a go... there is more to shooting than just your discipline !
