    Anyone have any Christmas shooting traditions?

    I normally go out for some informal clay shooting with the family and friends during Christmas week all good fun except for picking up all the cases/wads/clays afterwards because it's usually in a grazing field :)

    Will usually also go out for a crack at the pheasants with family members home for the holidays.

    Club hold fox shoot every Stephens morning. I also try to get a couple of shots off at some clays with some friends as well as some duck shooting if time allowing.

    Well, Christmas day is a day off and then Stephen's Day is traditionally a DURC shoot for ex-Captains and ex-Committee and ex-Range Officers, to try to keep a kind of esprite de corps going between the club and it's alumni. It's not been done for the past few years, but hopefully this year it'll be back on again!
