Well done everyone, just competing at the Imperial is daunting enough for many so both shoot is and so well is no mean feat!

Steve and Gaz and all :clap:

Thanks Bob,

At short range the new rifle was awesome (Barnard action and Bartlein 30" 1/13" 298x3065 barrel in a TVA laminate stock with RPA Trakker rearsight and Centra 30mm foresight put together by Ron Hilyard of Thames Valley Arms) I just couldn't miss the bullseye, but my long range needs some more work. Still, what might have been if I had made less of a mess of 900 yards! A very well done to John Warburton, some fine shooting to come back from a point down.

Cheers,

Gaz

Some of us can only dream of shooting that well - care to share what went wrong at 900?

Anyway, there's always the next year...and shooting like that, there's no reason why you couldn't end up in the chair :good:

It's very encouraging to see again this year, that you don't need a £4000 rifle with all the mod cons to win...

That looks like an old swing stock, and with a 2 point sling! - anyone know the action and barrel?

Finally starting to be able to draw breath after 3 weeks of graft! Was able to shoot (FTR) as well as work, although it made for loooooong days, and came out of it with a gold & a silver medal :shakeshout:

I'm not a Swing expert - is it a Mk III ?
