Inter Region 2008
Hosted by Manchester in Oxfordshire!

Those intrepid soles who ventured north to wildest Oxfordshire will know how hard the 2008 Inter Region shoot was. The course designer clearly had a thing about high crossing/quartering birds and for those of us with a problem with such birds the day certainly sorted out the men from the boys.

For once my score didn’t qualify and I have fallen on my metaphorical sword. Well done to James (J), Eliot, James (VS) and David for holding our end up and thanks to all 15 of us who tried in vain to defend our 2007 title. Those dam Brummies were just too good as the score sheet only too well illustrates. While Manchester and London only had four qualifying scores of over 50% Birmingham produced twelve!!! Clearly they’ve been practicing but well done all the same.

Dear All, Here is a link to some photos from the last shoot.

PGPC - Annual Shoot Results

Following the recent shooting event of season please find attached the results. I hope you find it interesting reading.

(See attached file: PGPC Master Scoreboard 2007.v2.xls)

The next event will be the highly successful 'Grouse Shooting afternoon'held at Holland and Holland on the 10th August. All details / questions please to Roger at RBS. More details to follow though.

I thought the Annual Shoot 2007 was a really well organised day and it seemed to go like clockwork! But just one thought. There is a very nice trophy for side by side users but not many people seem to have a try for it.

It would be nice to see more people having a go with the traditional game gun.

One suggestion to encourage interest I have is this. It is reckoned that a side by side is equivalent to a 10% handicap with clays, so make this official and boost the scores of teams by 10% for every member of the team using a a side by side! That should make people a bit keener to use one! And means that teams with someone using a side by side aren't handicapped because of it. I'd be interested to know what others think.

How It All Began

People often ask: “Tell me about the strange beginnings of the PG&PC”.

It started in 1984 as a common-and-garden expenses scam. I had joined an illustrious firm of agents in Hanover Square and in those days of small pay cheques needed to get my shooting paid for as business entertainment.

The real problem was finding a farmer crazy enough to let me bust clays on his land. I visited all the swankier spreads in N.E. Hampshire and after having the dogs set on me many times I chanced upon a tucked-away smallholding farmed by a terrific old nutter called Dick.

Trophy Winners.

The 21st Anniversary Shoot is now fully subscribed with 150 guns planning to attend. For my sins I forgot to mention in the EG ads that there will be special trophies for those shooting with either a 20 bore or side by side.
