    Broad shooters

    By Will last year, at the start of November Leave a comment on this post

    I had a very enjoyable day clay pigeon shooting with Chris Broad and his son Stuart. There were only a few of us there - a media day for Volkswagen - and both of them were on great form. Naturally, although Stuart had never shot before, he beat the rest of us - including Ian Valentine, who writes here, whose full-time job is for the Shooting Times. Photos below (you need Flash installed). A piece will be up at Cricinfo tomorrow or the day after.

    I can see me enjoying shooting. It was tricky at first, and I never really got the hang of the “rabbits”. But the faster clays high up in the sky were pretty easy once you “followed through”. And yes, there were loads of cricketing clichés flying about all over the place. West London Shooting School - highly recommend it.

    That boy Stuart certainly is a talent. Those jeans of his are a bit scary though — maybe you could give him some fashion advice, Will.

    Did anyone mention Yuvraj?

    Shoot any rare birds while you were out?

    Yeah, he was pretty flat-battish (as it were) about Yuvraj. Didn’t seem too bothered. You can read the rest of it here
