    Bloody hell El B, has she been taking lessons from my Great Dane?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    It was farken windy! The mutts were copping a snout full of 100km gusts all day long and the birds didn't last long heading into the wind that's for sure. No weather for the cheese cutter El B, a few hats were lost over the course of the day.

    I think there were only about 7 dogs that ran in the end. Grant and Robyn ran 1st and 2nd from memory (even a week ago is s struggle) and IMHO were the pick by some distance and I think only a few points separated them at the end of the day.

    My highlights were seeing one of the reds running big and hitting the lay-lines and watching the german flick on point from a long way out on the 1st trap of the day and work its way in to gun range nicely. The quality of handling and control in both instances was a pleasure to watch and certainly something to aspire to, especially in trying conditions.

    As per, a good bunch of P&S folk and was good have a yarn to the likes of Robyn and Grant. Managed to get a bird session in with the latter the following day, invaluable for a young handler and at the end of the day one of the real benefits of the trial scene.

    Not a hint of tweed sorry El B; just the NZ commoner garb

    Whatever floats your boat Brian, its got nothing to do with me or anyone here as long as you don't start firing your shit comments that your co-trialists dress like grave diggers.

    El b, we need to encourage people to come to the trials not frighten them away simply because some camo or another is all they have to wear. Its about the dogs.

    Eesbees for me the dogs are the main aspect but not the only thing in a trial -handling is a biggy , competing against other handlers and dogs and seeing your growth or lack there of, your dogs growth and ability for itself and against others , being with a great bunch as we have that put their time into this sport to keep it going -man there are some champion people in our crowd that do that -thankyou to you all !!! and not to forget the advancement of English clothing hhaaaaaaaaaa I look forward to you running again soon Eesbees and hope a little champ comes to you soon -go the EsBRITON.

    gee I can t say I have said that that'd be you that said that ..unless you can show me where which you wont as its never been said just assumed by those that don't read properly ..
    it not been said Petros ---- the standard of dress through many sports has declined to a substandard in my opinion and that is what has been expressed so .....unless you think standards haven't of course and coming dressed to what ever type of event how ever you want is ok ??? read before casting your incorrect opinion per se about the very good people I respect and trial with . If you want to know if I think the whole NZ trial scene could dress for the occasion in a traditional out fit and make us a more interesting looking bunch absolutely !!!!But that goes for many sports not just us

    see you Sunday

    ?? FYI what , as statement of fact in many aspects of NZ out door sports -so what ? it is what it is-cant call black white if its black -the only people that turn out regularly dressed "still" as they have for years is the hunt and the driven shoot and for that I certainly admire their traditions .

    I dont think you would want your arse kicked by the sheilas in the top photo, El B...you would probably be in for a right quacking.
