A good egg in my book

#1 Post by GazMorris »

Had a fantastic shoot at 600 on Century this morning / early afternoon sharing a target with rox. I'd had some worries that there was a problem with my jacket or position, but 48 bullseyes (37 vees) from 50 rounds made me feel a bit better about things. We had a really good marker as well which meant we could crack through the shoots no problems, and the nice weather made it a pleasure.

The shoot was made all the better by the lady with the big black rifle on target 98 with the muzzle brake, who very kindly moved over a bit after a quiet word. :good: Nice looking rifle but it did bark a bit!

Sounds like a good day was had, the weather has been pleasantly warm and very still here, it makes me wish I had headed for the range as well.

Hmmmm!
I was on target 78. My first time at that distance. I shall not comment on how I got on, sign01 :cool2: :oops: :oops: but I did learn a valuable thing or six.
I even managed to get some in the black, albeit sideways..........

I saw some good shooting in the afternoon, and some of the cadets on 80 & 81 seemed to do well.

Sounds like you had a good day :goodjob:

Nothing worse than an inner at 600yds with a No.4 unsupported? We'll have to start nobbling him somehow...
