The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

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.

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?

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

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

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