    Hopefully you will be able to shoot the clays on a Sat there.
    Was unsure if they were fully set up. There is a huge stack
    of boxes of clays there are the moment.

    I'd of loved to have headed up with ya but if I did I would have to deal with
    a very pissed off and moody girlfriend. Woundnt of minded seeing
    your brother .270 as I am not familiar with the calibre. Its for deer right ?


    Hopefully next weekend a buddy in work will get a jig or someway of holding
    my rifle stready and we may look into doing a bit of work on my mounts
    to try and get them set up a bit better which may involve taking a dremel to
    it to shave off a tiny wee bit of metal. (Dont want to use up ALL my clicks to zero the
    scope) so maby that weekend of the following we may get a chance to head up to
    the range to try it out. If we do will give you a shout.

    changed my shotgun last week so hoping to shoot a few clays this weekend and maybe decoy a few magpies too I find that great practice ,they,re very fast,got myself a bipod too for the .22 so I,ll punch a few holes in paper to see how that works

    Hi,

    anyone going out to Roundwood this Sunday (22nd)? I will be up there testing my recent purchase. Have no scope yet but it's on order. ;)

    Best,
    Preusse

    not going to roundwood but going clay shooting in the morning.

    Should be a bit of a laugh anyway

    try and get out with the .223 aswell for a bit of longer range stuff
