Well my 2021/2022 game shooting & beating, finished as quick as it started; or so it seems! I managed a full season beating (and took more than one tumble whilst in the line), kicked off my season with a driven duck day with my fave team of guns and ended the season having stood onContinue reading “Season is over; clay events start.”

Well, i’m not even a full month into 2022 yet and it’s already looking like this year is going be a GREAT one for my shooting journey. I have 2 days left in the beating line; which i will also be shooting on for one of those for beaters day. I’m on a driven dayContinue reading “Happy 2022! Shooting plans a plenty.”

When I started hosting The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club ladies clay shooting events this year at my local ground, I did it to ensure that local ladies would get the chance to have a go at getting into clay shooting like I did, and to hopefully encourage more ladies into the sport. I certainly did not foresee how much these days would grow and expand out into the ‘other’Continue reading “Introducing newcomers to shooting & beating”

I don’t feel I will be alone in bidding a glad farewell to 2021, this year has been one of the hardest and bittersweet years of my life, and being able to get out shooting & beating, has kept me sane and given me something to focus on. In April of this year, my amazingContinue reading “2021; A bittersweet year that friends, shooting & beating have got me through.”

So It would certainly seem I am making up for losing all my game days, beating and ladies clay shooting events last year, as so far I have managed to do all 3 in the space of a few weeks of this years game season starting. You know you are dedicated to field sports, when you cut your holiday short byContinue reading “Catching up on missed days.”

So this year, instead of shooting on Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club days, i took on the position of hosting them at Sporting Targets. There is so much more to this role than just turning up and meeting/greeting the ladies and issuing rosettes at the end , and i’ve had to learn fast and thinkContinue reading “Hosting for The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club.”

There are many naked charity calendars out there, but the naked huntress is the only one i appear in! The naked huntress calendar was created back in 2015, when Mark, our fabulous photographer, creator and tea boy, made, in his own words, a ‘silly remark’ about his wife taking part in a charity nude calendarContinue reading “A Naked Huntress”

On September 25th 2021, it was the 10th anniversary of The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club (S&CBC or ’Bun Club’) being created.   To celebrate, the club held a 10th anniversary shoot at Barbury Shooting Ground, with a meal and drinks party afterwards, where members and non-members of the S&CBC were welcomed to book on and join in theContinue reading “10yrs of The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club.”

It seems it wasn’t just the love of shooting i inherited from from grandad, but also the love of tattoos. Unsurprisingly really; seeing as he was an old school tattooist; who gave my dad his first tattoo at the age of ten!!! My pin up ladies are a hugely personal piece for me; they areContinue reading “Shooting tattoos”

I often get asked about, and complimented on what I wear when I’m shooting, and also get asked what kit I use, so I thought I would pop a quick blog post up. I love getting ‘dressed up’ to shoot, as I spend my days at work in trousers and a shirt, or a dress,Continue reading “My shooting clothing and kit”
