Trafalgar anyone?

Never missed one, or the South London meeting which preceded it.If you are going for the first time, be careful: Historic Shooting is addictive. You may end up using all your modern stainless and plastic stuff as fence posts.

Would be good to catch up for a beer if you aren't too tired from your hectic schedule.
Hopefully this time the tent wont leak or the weather will be kind to us.

Definitely up for a beer or two...I'll PM you.

I'd not heard of a Kropatschek before, so just googled it...very interesting tongueout

May the weather gods be kind next weekend

double post - doh!

Right, that's all my Trafalgar ammo carefully assembled, kit checked and rifles cleaned to within an inch of their life (now gently marinating in oils before their final polish on Friday) - Getting quite excited now

I'm shooting my usual events with the SMLE (precision, snaps and rapid), but am also going to give standing a try, and I'm going to try out my Swedish Mauser at longer range (500 and 600), which should be interesting as I'm not 100% sure of my zero (POA with open sights) at that range...the sighters at 500 need to be good...

...so how many others are shooting, and what comps/disciplines are you doing?

...FredB?

I'll be there - boolits and rifles in hand.

Where are going to be Rog?...I'll bring you a cuppa if I get the time...milk no sugar right?

I'll be around and about - no stall as they are too expensive. I'll be on Short Siberia 200yds on Sunday.

When you say 'on Short Siberia', are you actually competing!?

Sadly no, I can't shoot prone as my back and neck won't stand it! I will be with my club the Norwesters shooting off of a bench

[Dougan]

Well I hope you have fun!...I'm sure I'll see you 'around and about' before then anyway

[Gaz]

Hopefully be around to do a bit of shopping - no shooting though, furnishing a flat is bloody expensive!
