Finlay and I start again at the beginning of November and I’m sure his first post-shoot evening will be the same. Interesting you saying about toys on the lounge floor. Ours looks worse than when the kids were little. Always something in his mouth, brings to me, fetches the next one from the box in the kitchen. Then I fall asleep and when I wake up, there they are, all piled up round my feet! He’s learnt to carry them back and drop them in the box for me on instruction. He also retrieves his empty bowl and brings it to me by the sink. Tidy lad! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted November 10, 2022 Author Share Posted November 10, 2022 Purdey has been on another game shoot today. The gamekeeper said she is the best behaved and obedient dog on his shoot. She will now be sleeping for two days solid no doubt Griff Btw - Pure bread dog 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 Thanks for the heads up. It seems every time I visit my supplier, the price of my chosen cartridge has increased. Pre Covid I was paying about £190 per thousand, last visit in December they had reached £260 I'm due another visit soon, dread to think how much they have gone up again Clay target prices are on the up too but not monthly like cartridges seem to be suffering Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 Phew, feel like I got away with one there. Visited my cartridge supplier Thursday. 24g fibre - £65:00 per two hundred and fifty, I wanted a thousand of em but he only had five hundred left so sold me another five hundred of 28g fibre for the same price = £260 a thousand so no increase since December. That was a relief Then I was given a free box (25) of Kent Velocity 28g fibre to try out, about £7 worth I shall do so today as there are about fourteen of our group attending a one hundred bird clay shoot, that'll use up about one hundred and twenty five of em Today we are also field trialling our new trolley that we use for team shoots Griff 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Saturday 13th and 'Griffs Growlers' were in action at the Whitfield Estate near Hexham. The day consisted of seven drives. Fifty two teams of four were in action. We had two other teams with us, 'Bobs Boyz' and 'The Also Rans' It is and always has been our 'Aim' to beat Bobs Boyz, they are our arch rivals with much mickey taking between us. We mostly seem to loose to them by less that a dozen clays killed with tight scores Saturday was gonna be different. As team captain I needed to change tack to eke out a potential winning score so decided to put my trotter firmly down and properly took charge of my Growlers (Mysen included) with regards to tactics and discipline, then if it all went Pete Tong it would be on my shoulders alone. At the end of the day Griffs Growlers came 14th overall (511) with Bobs Boys 24th (476) and the Also Rans in 36th (430) We blew then outa the park by 35 clays - A memorable victory and the biggest winning margin ever achieved between the two teams. They are mightily concerned they might never beat us again after this performance Now to repeat the feat at the next team event Griff (I'm third from the left) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 Griffs Growlers were in action today at Lambton minus their skipper as I’m onboard ‘B.A’ They lost by nine clays against Bobs Boyz.

BroadAmbition Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Yesterday we visited the Grimsthorpe estate near to Bourne, specifically the shooting lodge / range. This was an individual competition shoot but with one team flush competition. Not only did Griffs Growlers triumph over our arch rivals Bobs Boyz, we only went and won the whole thing. First time we have come first and received a trophy but more importantly the bragging rights are ours Griff 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Shooting’s opponents don’t want to you join the 78,000 of us who have already visited the Home Office website to complete the firearms licensing consultation. That’s all the more reason why it is fundamentally important you do. With less than one week to go until the consultation closes, time is running out for you to join the thousands who have already made their voice count and fought back against those who seek to ban shooting. We have provided guidance on how to answer the questions and a rationale, which you’ll find below... Visit the BASC website even if you are not a member Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Annual Quarry Shoot today. We get to invite along wives / partners family, friends etc, Hog roast, bar. stuff for the little uns, dogs, the lot.

There is an individual cup to shoot for (I won it last year) and a team event so Griffs Growlers will be doing our thing too Promises to be a good day, its one of those we all look forward too, Purdey is already hovering at the side of t van Griff 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 A great day had by all. Griffs Growlers came second in the team shoot by ONE clay The individual shoot, out of a possible maximum of 40, it was won with a score of 38 (Same as I got last year) by a young lad of just ten years old with a 20g. He's going to be a possible shooter for the England team in a few years or so I got two of my grandsons going on the practise stand with a :410 then they had a few goes with my 12g with me assisting - loved it Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
