Mini McQueen at The Phoenix

How long did it take for the grin to subside :) ?

You'll have to come along and have a go at ours sometime (being in Cambs, your not a million miles from Norman Cross). Ours is slightly different to the Bisley machine in that we have 10 targets but it only makes it more fun.

...I saw the other rifles being used - ie, proper tools for the job !

Out of interest, what were people using?

A variety, mostly bolt action with heavy / long barrels.

Saw a few Martini Henry type too.

And BIG scopes.

Not many sniper rifles I wager

Probably because its a shooting match with .22s at 50m against a paper target and not sniping ie......... A sniper is a marksman or qualified specialist who operates alone, in a pair, or with a sniper team to maintain close visual contact with the enemy and engage targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the detection capabilities of enemy personnel.



I was wearing my ghillie suit though
