What are you shooting this weekend?

#1 Post by Gun Pimp »

I've noticed that the forum is a bit quiet at the moment - so how about we talk about shooting for a change? In particular, what you are shooting this weekend. Maybe a trip to a new range - testing a new gun or, like me, doing the odd competition.

For me, it's 600 yard Benchrest on the Sunday and a 600 yard F Class shoot on the Saturday - what's evetyone else up to?

Just back from the range the day.

Uberti 1866 in 32-20, black powder loads at 100 yrds.

Pretty blowy this morning so aiming off was necessary but once on the rifle performed with its usual aplomb.

The only issues were me, being a shite shot.

Hello
A good idea, lets talk shooting
I am off to the 80m range on Sunday "Weather permitting as forecast not that great" to try out some home loads in my 1878 Swiss Vetterli.

Well not this weekend but in a fortnight it's the first Express Rifle Association shoot of the year at Minsterley so in no particular order:

.318" Nitro accelerated Express
.375" H&H
.450/400 3.25"
and .43" Spanish to enjoy the fragrance of black powder.

The next thread might be what rifles will you be cleaning this week.

Will be taking my Grandson and Daugther to the range, I might even get a few rounds in myself if my Grandson does not use all the ammo.

I was up at Highmoor at the weekend - I believe a couple of Diggle members were there too. Previous weekend - Running Lane and it was running with water!


And was there some Shotgun at Diggle last Sunday, 18th too?
