Summer Season High winds, torrential rain, fog, the occasional dry spell so damn hot it turns the soil to dust, OH that will be the United Kingdom then! Game Keepers in the county are cursing so loudly it make your ears burn. With poults out and due out, wild game birds are suffering as every time there is a dry warm spell the chicks fair well for insects, then everything gets sodden and the mortality rate soars. The hardiest birds seem to be Partridges, with the success of the rearing and release programme near Royston the population is spreading and increasing in numbers. Whats
that got to do with clay shooting? I hear you ask. I will put it
like this, if the 'keepers and farmers who release game and rely
upon the return it gives them are successful they will be in better
mood and might let you put on the extra shoot or two over the summer,
if they are loosing a vital part of their income, they could put
up their prices for the rent on the land you use to compensate........
Next time you see your landlord farmer or 'keeper make a point
of asking how things are, it could win you some serious brownie
points.

Shooting Sports Future As one of the few CPSA representatives at the NATSS South East gathering on the future of our sport, the level of apathy inherent in clay shooting was really driven home to me. The only other people in the room from the CPSA were from HQ, no-one from any other county in the South East Region! There were a few ground owners there, two actually, but most all of the other attendees were from the many branches of target shooting. Admittedly,
there had been other meetings, but having chatted to the orgaisers over
lunch, it would appear that they were not as well attended by CPSA members
as they should have been. Anon
