    Thanks El Boraccho and Matt setting up and running the shoot. Also, thanks to Rushy who kindly supplied the venison and doing the cooking. A great day out! Lastly, thanks for the people that turns up. Also, big thanks to Matt and his friend ( sorry cant remember name) for resetting, painting the target on numerous occasions. Cheers!

    Bugger you should have been there it was a great day with a good bunch of guys.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Muchos Gracias El B it was a great day. Last year I watched, this year I shot. By next year my goal is to start using the windy twisty knobby thingy's on the scope. All you other fellah's are doing it so I reckon it must be easier than holding over 16 feet while also trying to hold two foot six to the right. Its a whole other fucking complicated fucking language you buggers speak though.

    Here's Rushy with his new tube, which is about as long as he is, and his two "porters", doing it safari style

    And here's el-b who spent so much on his latest bitch, he can't afford proper ear defenders...

    It certainly was a great day and the weather gods smiled kindly upon us - I can't think of many more picturesque shooting environments. Thanks to El-B for the organisation and Rushy for the tasty steaks

    Hey all,

    First time for me - I had a great time just watching....

    After the first 2 shooting stations started wishing I had brought my .270 so I could just give it a go.

    Great day guys. Think I might just get into this. Just need to find the money....

    That was a really great shoot. Learned a few good pointers on alternative positions to better suit the terrain. Thanks guys for putting in such a big effort for us!

    Rushy hit the gong with his first shot of the day! At about 600 yards.

    Had a great day with my little .308, can't wait for the next one.

    I reckon we need to put some effort into sending some practice lead across my farm.

    Good on ya Nibblet. Let me know how you get on. What is the optimal thickness for the plate?

    Going for 16mm bisalloy 400. Should be more than enough to stop our rounds. Thinking 3, 6 and 10 inch gongs for different distances. Hopefully gongs are safe enough for your place.
