We'll done. There is nothing like doing well to fire up your enthusiasm, as well as a medal.

I appreciate your kind words Mike, but I came last, out of everyone in the 1500 SB (the 6 shots on someone else's target didn't help)...and I'm the only person in class D! :lol:
On the up side...I can only progress up the classes

As you say Squirrel. First time I shot in a classified event I managed to get into X Class for SB which for me is a lot weaker than CF. I'm now stuck in X class with no prospect of ever being good enough to rank highly. I think the classification system needs to allow for a downgrading too. Perhaps a yearly review, almost like a golf handicap.

I have often asked about this, I havent shot at an event in about 4 years, no way I can get anywhere near my old standard, and even then I think it was MT GRSB but I decided to try it, had one of them days where everything I did turned to gold, straight into X class LOL
screwed for life now as I barely break 100

IIRC Neil Francis has hinted that possible downgrading is/will be looked at,but not likely anytime soon.

Tight wad! :lol:
That said, I've found some clips that stick Ruger mags back to back for £6.75; rather than spend a fortune on mag holders etc...it's the Northern blood in me razz

Me tight...geeezzzz
These are what i've glued on the bottom of my Ruger mags to allow easy removal from my home made mag pounches (did i say i was tight) and easy removal from the gun.Also mean when you pick them out you know there the right way round.

Well a little tight, but also a little genius
...I did notice at the SAW the various handles folk had on their mags, but didn't know it they'd bought them or made them.

Hi Dougan, Well done on your first 1500 :-) Just be safe and enjoy it to start with. If you'd like to come up to North Devon for a plink before the Phoenix get in touch with me!
