Last year our club were asked to help with some filming, the following link should show the finished article.

All in all it was an interesting day seeing the workings of a film crew, albeit small.
Apologies for the pink polo shirt I was only supposed to be supplying the rifle.
If nothing else its another positive look at shooting even if its only a few minutes long.

Britains first photo album
What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.
Re: Britains first photo album
Very good :goodjob:
For anyone without the patience to watch the whole thing the shooting starts at around the 23 minute mark.

It's a good series; along the lines of Portillo's 'Great Railway Journey' . Wife and I make a point of watching both.
I did think it was a bit tight not to give him a clean target though!

He always comes across as a happy, interested chap. Not bad on the dance floor either.Watcher wrote:Sergeant seems like a decent cove; is he?

Re: Britains first photo album
He was a nice bloke with a good sense of humour, one comment made to him was I hope your shooting is better than your dancing.
When it was all finished he sat and had his lunch and washed it down with a couple of bottles of old speckled hen, which seemed a bit odd still on the range, but he had finished.
He also had a cabbie on some other rifles, Martini Henry,SMLE etc but that wasn't shown

There's a trailer for next weeks/tomorrows where he tucks in at a brewery so maybe he likes a pint.

And he really is that ugly in real life!!!
:55:In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
