Thanks for all the welcomes.

Shugie, thanks for the offer. I've got a bit of a mad couple of weeks with work coming up, but I may well give you a shout in April sometime.

Hi AlieN

I live near Reading and shoot fullbore with two clubs:

Old Windsor at Ash, Otmoor, Stoney Castle and Bisley

London Practical at Longmoor and Bisley

Everything from laid back general shoots to competitive snaps (McQueen and 1,000 yards), CSR etc.

Always pleased to see a new face at either club!

Thanks kennyc and Racalman.

Now for a newbie questions I suspect - what's McQueens?

A course of fire that uses the green castles you may have seen at Bisley on Century and Short Siberia ranges.

Normally shot prone at 200 yards, there are 10 exposures of an A4 size disruptive pattern target (a Hun's Head in less PC days). The target appears at random in one of the castle windows for about 3 seconds.

Got it. Yes, seen that on Century - just didn't know what it was called.
