For what it’s worth, I shot the Ripon challenge with the trio of AYA’s a few years back. Hit 32, which was kind of 75th percentile for the hundred or so men that had shot it.

It was a nice traveling Wingshooter trip.

Flew into London, had a man’s day, went to the West London, shooting school for some lessons and shot the Ripon challenge.

By the time I got over there to shoot it, the people running it were getting pretty good at the gun transfers, so the pace was really picking up, and you better pop them as soon as they cleared the hedge or they were going to get past you, which would then cost you the next couple birds.

Shooting a trio is a lot of work.

Double gunning is a blast, shooting a trio is complicated.

I shot a bunch of geese with a Greener that used to be owned by Worth Matthewson, but shooting a shotgun with royal providence would be very special.

But I do things to be excessive and special. Which is why this VPN is located in Finland. Cause that’s where I’m having my caviar dinner before I go to the far north and fish for Browntrout.


Out there doing it best I can.
