Clay pigeons just don't taste 'that' good...!




Just back from a morning's shoot at a local shooting lodge (in fact they are hosting the English Championships in Clay pigeon shooting this weekend). Had a good couple of hours with the two Marks (Former Coldstream Guard's Mark and Former Cape Town Mark!). Something very therapeutic about blasting those little clay space-ships into 1000 pieces as they come in from the Earth's atmosphere like an invading Martian Fleet.
Wonderful 'good to be alive' day with the sounds of spring all about. A fine way to spend a morning with the boys. And NO CLAY PIGEONS were hurt in the making of this - promise!!

  1. I'd like to shoot a few clay pigeons myself! I can definitely see the therapy in it. :-)

    Happy Spring!
