Falling Plate
Evening peeps,
Yesterday went to Bisley for a falling plate comp ( my first of these, didn't know what to expect ?)
Obviously the village virgin had been sacrificed as there was much water falling from sky!
Zeroing on short siberia ( couldn't hit the plate sized mark with a borrowed Junglie )
Then across to Pirbright.
Excellent manicured range, good control by HM RCO's, and then by the civil chappy's
Watched Canadian vs Omani 100 mtr Dash and shoot ( " we've got to do thaaaat ? )
Excellent fun with both Junglie and AR ( we came last in everything but what the heck ? grins were plentiful )
We will definitely go again and may even be a bit better prepared.
Well done to all who went !

Re: Falling Plate
Did the Omanis wipe the floor with everyone else like they did last time I shot there? They were very impressive!
Re: Falling Plate
Yes, the NRA posted on FaceySpaceyBook today that the Omanis won the plates again.

Re: Falling Plate
They did although the Canadians won last year. We were knocked out in the 1st round again by a mere 1/2 second but still loads of fun.Doz wrote:Did the Omanis wipe the floor with everyone else like they did last time I shot there? They were very impressive!
Knackered now after 5 days of CSR comps, best weeks shooting ever
Re: Falling Plate
Was a good laugh shooting the historic/Enfield class - I had no idea there would be so many teams! It was great fun, with a bit more training (and rifle tweaking, eh Charlie Muggins) I reckon we could make a competitive showing. Top marks for the BBQ afterwards as well.
Re: Falling Plate
Top marks also to the other attendees for their support of the Brunel team and apologies to the gentleman who lost £20 on us making the semi finals. Will be back next year with more competitors. Place your bets!
Re: Falling Plate
