    Here's Martin from the UK practicing for the 'Rough and Ready with a possibility of rapid fire' class at the next long range comp! 400 metres with open battle sights and he was ringing the steel about 8/10 times with shitty surplus ammo. I think it put a bigger grin on his face than his other fancy rifles...

    More shooty stuff and a nice late afternoon pic from the top of the hill on the way out.

    It was a brilliant day at a fantastic spot. Can't wait to go back again. Might need a 20MOA rail and rings as I was only able to dial up to 600m. Bugger. I also lack one of those pretty Christmas tree/modern industrial art type reticles which made hold over at 800 a bit erratic. Still bloody good fun though!Name:  IMG_20180811_124728.jpg

    Just a reminder, the Sparrowhawk Long Rifle Match is on 25/26 August. There are still a couple of spots left. It’s a great chance to test yourself and try some things you wouldn’t usually do in practice. No one cares how good or bad you shoot, they are all focused on their own shooting. A good time to catch up with some likeminded people, with plenty of social time. Even if you scored a zero it would be a big learning experience. Don’t let fear of failure stop you from having a go. Failure is not trying.

    Send Nick a text to his cell, that seems to work fine.

    I wish I'd taken a camera camera rather than just the cell phone camera. Oh well, next time.

    He told me he’d replied to it, it maybe spamming.

    I talked to him before he’d definitely sent one to you. Maybe try a txt to him

    The range is open on Saturday. 10-2 or 3 ish
    I’ll put up a few pics and the odd video from the match a week ago once I get the pictures sent to me.
