    Great weekend, big thanks to those that organised and kept this thing running. Had a ball and even managed to get lead on steel this year.

    Highlight would be putting faces and names to forum handles. Particularly @Harryg, a man with such great taste in music. Must be time to hit the music thread with some of the stuff I was listening to on the journey.

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts

    While we may differ on the "nectar of the gods" we both totally agree that Speight is "swill"

    Well done to everyone involved in organizing and attending the event, maybe next year I'll get there..........................................may be

    It was a great weekend, first Toby shoot I’ve been to.

    Drove down Friday in pissing rain, at one point the temp was 2deg! Snowing in the hills and Harryg and a couple of helpers were out in it putting the gongs up, player of the day award for that, followed by Smiddy who had to drive up to and via the Lewis pass as Arthur’s was washed out! The troops started arriving, it was great to meet the NI members from here and put faces to names, a few cold ones late into the evening with Stingray regaling us with some funny stories!

    Saturday dawned postcard perfect, calm, cool and blue skies and the shooting began, great fun was had all day, Stug kindly let a few of us try his K95, thanks to Rushy & Phil for RO duties. After lunch we had a 330yd standing shot comp that was hotly contested and then a long range event.
    A great evening was then had, big bbq feed, and then Philipo ran the funniest auction I’ve ever had the privilege to see followed by more hilarity.

    Thanks to Harryg for organising the venue, Munsey and co, for there work in running it.
    Shut up, get out & start pushing!

    Mint weekend had with a great bunch of like minded guys. Good to put faces to names and have some ripper laughs. Thanks to the hard working crew that made it happen, we know who they are....champions, and to the land owner too for an awesome shooting venue. Thanks to Toby's mum & Luke for making it down to join us and honour Toby how he would want it.

    Summed up well.

    First time shooting past 200 so happy to hit anything and surprised myself more than once. Great weekend but looking forward to a good night's sleep. Stupidly I pitched my tent 20m from the recycling bin....was woken many a time over both nights

    Thanks everyone for your welcome to us newcomers. And for the work that went into making it all happen, including John A's generosity in letting us shoot on his stunningly beautiful land! (I hope he didn't notice some of his calm cow's across the valley had stopped moving completely (-: ... And great to put faces to names!

    Just walked in the door at home.
    Ripper of a weekend once again, hats off to everyone that came along and everyone behind the scenes. These things don’t just happen by themselves. A lot of guys travelled a long way and it was bloody good putting a few names to the faces. Just a couple of pics from the weekend.
