Yeah they seem ok in Grampian I was only going to ask for a .22 on my first ticket as I thought that was all i would get for a first licence. The local bobbies that came out to the farm to check the land suggested that I could request a .222 or similar if I wanted for fox and roe was quite surprised. Am glad now have pushed the .22 to it's limits of distance on targets so would be quite nice to have that longer range now. Just got to hold out for the right rifle now.

The sky was just black with them when I was out in Jan. One I shot was tough as old boots though.

Aye they do benefit from a good long hanging, especially if the weather is cold.

10 miles south of Elgin - you know that! ;)

Meant when were you popping in to sign the praises of your club :P

You shooting in the NESSCC this year, only a few weeks until Aberdeen.
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Mike,
Not going to make the first NESSCC shoot - son's birthday - but I should make the rest though.
