Evening from a forum newbie in sunny Cheshire.

I've trolled over to the 'dark side', as my oppo calls it , from clay shooting and he now has no one to stand around in fields with. I've been having fun with Gallery rifle comps for the last four years and included prone .22 , as the challenge of 'It will take you 18 months to learn how to lie down' was too much to ignore. 18 months is the minimum. I'm now looking to have a go at lobbing stuff down Stickledown as I have walked past it enough times on the way to Melville and wondered when the time would be right.

Regards JJ

I see you write about the P14. She is my first full bore and the trigger pull / length / weight is something that I'm still learing about. Much fun.

The P14 is a superb very accurate and vastly under rated rifle. Enjoy :goodjob:
