Beverley CTC and Rachel Carrie

A day at Beverley CTC and Shooting with Rachel Carrie

Hi, how are you all doing ?

At the weekend I went for a lesson with Hamish at Beverley CTC, who I highly recommend. I have been for two previous lessons with him, my first, for my birthday which was a great surprise birthday present. He corrects any bad habits I pick up and this weekend it was based around gun mount and sight picture. I have also learnt the right stance and shooting with both of my eyes open. I also write all the things I have learnt in a book, like revision notes really, so I don't forget.

I was also shooting Cheddite cartridges. They were really good and I really suited to them ! I will be using them more often!

So after my lesson had finished I went and got a drink and an ice cream because it was a red hot day ! Then after, Rachel Carrie had come to say hello. I was really thrilled by this, she made a great day to an even better one ! She went to go shoot OT (for anybody who didn't know, Olympic trap) and we were shooting at the layout at the side of her. She came over  while I was shooting and gave me lots of tips and advice as I normally shoot skeet but these targets were kind of hard ! Her advice was amazing and helped me dust some clays ! After, my dad, godfather and Rachel went and did a round of OT, my dad and godfather hadn't tried a discipline like this before, but my dad was pretty good at it !

I went home with a big smile on my face ! :)
Here are some pictures !
Thanks for reading !

The skirt


The skirt with style !
The perfect, fitted, trendy skirt for women on and off the field.

This skirt is a personal favourite as it is suitable for any occasion. It's important to have something that's stylish but that is also easy to wear and suited to agility.

Emma uses the finest tweed fabrics that makes it comfortable, hardwearing and durable. What really makes this special is the design and the thought that has gone into it as like I said in my last blog, Emma really looks into what people want in the field.

This lovely skirt is available in all tweeds and from sizes 8-14 at a fantastic price of £89.


It could easily go with a nice shirt or tweed jacket which adds that extra special touch. This could be wore from a shoot to a country game fair or show.

Again make sure you mention me or my blogs and she will take extra special care of you and is great with all customers and if there is any requirements don't hesitate and contact Emma.

In addition, Emma will be at the game fair at Hatfield House- E621 Gun maker's row. Go and find her stand and take a look at Emma's beautiful clothing items. It'll be worth it, I'm sure !

Also, I have recently set up my own shooting page to share my experiences with you all. As I like to see how other people's shooting progress is coming on and their experiences, follow my shooting inspirations and its nice as I can relate to a few pages too. This is what I would like to achieve.

A Happy Half- term

A Happy Half-Term

Howdy, how you all doing?
Sorry I haven't been uploading blogs because we have been on holiday and decorating the bedrooms. So, because this half term has been absolutely fantastic, I'm gonna write about it !

So, when we first broke up for the holidays I was excited... Finally a full week off ! wahoo! So, I got home and packed for the holiday and put it in the car. the car was jam packed! I couldn't wait to see our camping friends. We have a caravan and we were towing the caravan on the back of the car and on our way to a new campsite which involved fishing. Thanks Julie for suggesting this, it is a brilliant campsite. Around the campsite there were lots of VERY cute dogs, including ours lol. Our camping friends, which I will do a full blog about, went and I love them all. We are all into the same things which is lovely and we all get on great ! While they were fishing, I decided to go sit with a book, with my mum and read while watching my Dad fish because there were no more spare rods. My Dad asked me to watch the float while he went to get a beer out of the fridge and he was walking back and I just caught one... it only happened to be the biggest one of the lot haha.

So, we loved the site so much we decided to leave the awning and the caravan up and come back the following weekend ! 

In the week I didn't really do much except doing my bedroom because me and my sister are switching bedrooms, so I finally get the bigger bedroom, Yay ! When I have my bedroom done I'm having it hunting themed obviously ! I got the wallpaper off of my old wall and have to sleep in my sisters room. She does not stop snoring ! 

So, it was now the weekend ! I packed my clothes and did the same again but the car wasn't as full this time as we left half of it at the caravan. We was back with our caravan family ! We did lots and it was sunny too so we were sitting in the sun on the chairs listening to the Ibiza tunes on the speaker. I had lots of cuddles with the dogs and lots of chats about going abroad ! Exciting !  Also, the youngest kid is Ava, she is 4, she is so cute and lovely and I found some of my shopkins and gave them to her and she didn't stop playing with them. This was an amazing weekend too. With everybody, they make them the best holidays !

Wow, I just realised how much exclamation marks I have used lol.

This weekend I am going to a sleepover with my bestest friends. I'm so excited ! Also, I am going shooting the morning after. All exciting !

See you in the next blog :)
Any comments will be appreciated Xoxo

All about the Tweed ! #EmmaBrownTweed

All about the Tweed #EmmaBrownTweed

Hey guys ! Hope you are all well.

Image may contain: one or more people, people standing, dog, sky, outdoor and natureOne of the hardest things I find topic of conversation is the difficulties of finding lovely fitting tweed that is stylish. Its either no choice in tweed and colour or the fitting is unflattering and baggy......

......LOOK NO FURTHER ......#EmmaBrownTweed is a up and coming company that listens to each and every customer needs and tailors her service and end products to perfection. This is not your ordinary clothing theirs has designer feel about it... I personally am a great lover of tweed coats and waistcoats take a look at her Facebook and Instagram pages like and follow to keep up to date with all these new fabulous designs. The beauty about Emma Brown Tweed is for example her willingness to ask and take on board the customer she asks in her latest Facebook post what do you want to see ?

This to me is an excellent way of engaging with her clients who lets face it "we are important" Emma then uses her talent and expertise to create some outstanding pieces of clothing.

A great example of her work is her New Shooting vest, it has calf suede detail for that extra special soft feel. It has large double pockets for those cartridges to sit comfortably when on a shoot, and an amazing chest expander so this jacket will take you through all the seasons with the room for extra layers underneath. The detail on the back is my favourite with a pleated back it will make any size figure look glamorous. The silk WOW ... the lining Is exquisite its is beautifully patterned and the edging is stitched so well its flawless I especially like the cartridge and bird lining you can see the Emma starting the design on her Facebook page. 

Take a look the webpage is www.emmabrowntweed.co.uk go on treat yourself......

The Shooting Shows !

The Shooting Shows !


Hi again ! Hope you are all keeping well !

I have been to two shows recently, The Northern Shooting show and The Great British Shooting Show. The Great British Shooting Show was bigger obviously because it's the pinnacle of shooting shows. People from all around the world go for the greatness and pleasure of the show. I met the Elites from the game shooting world to the fantastic Olympians that represent our country in the Olympics. It was amazing and a great honour to meet my inspirations.



First, I met Andy and Michelle Crow, who are both such a lovely couple and it was an absolute pleasure to meet them both as we'd only been talking on Facebook and said we would meet at the shooting show in February. It was weird as I'd only been watching him on YouTube, on Field sports channel. After meeting at the shooting show we have created such a bond that I never thought I would have with people like them. It has instilled my passion in shooting and with the support from them Andy and Michelle it made me believe that anything is possible and I am now going to try my hardest not just for my mum and dad but for Andy and Michelle as they also believe in me.
Then Andy and Michelle took me to meet Rachel Carrie and Mark Winser. I was so nervous but when I met Rachel but when I started talking to her I realised she was so down-to-earth and also we are from the same home town! She also had her puppy with her called Doris and it was a fox terrier. She was so cute it was unreal ! Mark and Rachel were giving me fantastic advice with my shooting and inspired me along with Andy and Michelle. to get my next gun and I never thought this would lead me into getting my next gun especially a sponsor and a gun sponsored by John Rothery and I thank Andy and Michelle for getting me to achieve my goals in life. I have always wanted to be a vet and in the summer we are going to Andy's farm where we will see a side of outdoor living that we never thought we'd see.    


This is a snap chat of me and Rachel.(I'm forever using the dog filter lol) We was twinning with Doris ! Same as Andy it was weird to meet her too as I have watched her on YouTube and the TV. Also, go and watch Jodie Marsh goes Hunting which is a documentary where Jodie Marsh, anti-hunter and vegetarian experiences hunting with Rachel and Andy as they explain the sustainability of Hunting and the reason behind it all. I also met her Mum and Dad, Christine and Dave Carrie and they are both lovely people too. In fact, the whole hunting community is so respectful.


Also, it was great meeting Amber Hill, Olympic shooter who competed at Rio 2016. She inspires me as this is where I want to be. She is a lovely person and a fantastic shooter ! Also she is very relatable to me as she is into Makeup and fashion but is also in love with shooting. Go follow her on her social medias too because she is such an inspiration. As she also takes you through her experiences like competitions and also shows you her makeup which she has bought and fashion look-book kind of photos.

#INSPIRATIONS

My First Gun !

My First Gun !




Hi again! Hope you are all ok !
So today I'm going to write about my first gun because I'm going to share my experience with you all about my shooting in stages. I also am going to answer any one's questions left in the comments  too and I'm going to try and make people understand more about hunting/shooting. I also want to get more young people into the sport as I think we should all have an outdoor experience and lifestyle whether it's Hunting, shooting, beating or even walking and appreciating the outdoors. So, hope you enjoy !


Here is me in the hide, game shooting, with my first gun. So, I got my first gun from Brian, the beat owner. He told us that the gun had gone through generations as he has taught lots of people with that gun as it was an instructing gun. When I got this I was really excited I felt like a coke can that had been shook up ! It was a nice little gun to start off with. Thank you Brian, if you're reading this ! 

The Remington 1,100.

It was a great gun- a 20 gauge semi-automatic. I first took this gun out at Doveridge clay shooting ground and that's where I saw the Olympic shooter Lara Dale and we were talking to each other on Facebook about shooting. She is a fantastic shooter ! Also, we saw Brody Woolard there too and they are both inspirations to me as Lara shows girls can shoot too and Brody is a great example too
as his dad also instructed him but now he has his own instructor, like myself,  and is well-known in the shooting community. These are also inspirations to me as well as Andy Crow and Rachel Carrie too, which I will do  full blog posts about soon. 
                                                                     

This is a picture of me at Doveridge the first time I shot this gun.

It wasn't a very clear day as you can see but it didn't ruin it ! I still tried my hardest. My dad was my first instructor as you can see and he helped me as well as my mum, godfather and Ian. I am very thankful for all of their advice as this has made me succeed throughout my shooting.

Thank you for reading my blog and any comments will be appreciated.
