Shooting day at Atkin Grant & Lang

The first Coachmakers’ clay pigeon event of the year was hosted at the very welcoming Atkin Grant & Lang, St Albans in Hertfordshire. The day started with hearty bacon rolls and decent coffee, (the catering has changed since last year, but I can still recommend the bacon rolls especially when the bacon is cooked to one’s liking!).

The format of the day was to shoot some practice targets in the morning, followed by a competition in the afternoon. The group was split into two teams who shot eight stands of various and challenging targets, some easier than others, where everyone seemed to get their eye in. We then broke for coffee and a debrief of either excellent or not-so-excellent performance. The afternoon competition took the form of eight stands with the group shooting together for maximum support/intimidation!

After shooting, lunch was taken at The Alford Arms in Firthsden, Hertfordshire. The weather was kind and the day was enjoyed by all, leaving us keen for future events.

The next Coachmakers’ clay pigeon shooting event will be held in August at Honesberie shooting ground near Southam, Warwickhsire.

The team on the day included:

Alex Bailey
Peter Zanatta
Freeman Callum and guest Hugo
John Boyes
Alastair Boyes
