Hey, I resemble that remark!

When I was in London at the end of May, I went to the WLSS, and specifically asked for: Partridge over Hedges, High Pheasant, and Grouse from a Butt.

The set-ups on their grounds were exactly as in the picture.
High tower for incoming birds straight above you at 30-60 yards, fast midi's from behind a hedge at weird angles, crossing above you at 25 yards, and "In your face" grouse, thrown somewhat down hill, low to the ground, and passing you while you stand in a simulated grouse butt.

I mention these presentations, because the clay lands behind you at the end of it's flight.
An almost impossible presentation to duplicate in the US for safety reasons.


Out there doing it best I can.
