Inter Livery Clay Pigeon Shoot

On Wednesday 21st May, under the Captaincy of Past Master Colin Hart, my son and I joined Liveryman James Neill for the Inter Livery Clay Pigeon Shoot and the Holland & Holland Shooting Ground.  If not blessed by skill, well certainly not on my part, the Broderers Team was at least blessed with enthusiasm and after hearty breakfast in the Club House we set about breaking clays with cheerful determination.  The stands were well set up and the whole operation went very smoothly.  Some stands were more difficult than others, notably the high tower but everyone connected to greater or lesser effect on each stand.  Without doubt the flush provided the best fun where my old gun’s barrels were soon too hot to touch. 

 We finished with an excellent lunch and a chance to reflect on our fortunes.  Colin was the clear winner in our team and the less said about my performance the better.  Note for the future: Get my son into the Livery and use the School’s guns.
