FS you still got your 223 to use glad you didn't sell it on now??

BS at least you may get to hit the bobing fox now that you have a REAL gun :P

gentleman jim don't listen to these people who speak with forked tounge they only want your $$$$$$$$$$$ on the day, you won't have a hope in hell of winning when Dwighet and myself turn up. Shooting from the hip :rolleyes:

And on the day it'll be closer to:

If we're going 300 I might go something heavier than the 40gr's.

Clive I know it's only 200 but it is a 3 shot group C/C 1/4":



MORE THAN LIKELY IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

Again these were with 40 grs Imight switch to 55grs if we're going past 200.

What you reckon Dwighet?

can be pretty windy out on the windmill range.

Personally I think there is very little diff between the 40s and 55 in wind drift..The 40grainers make up for it in speed.... down load this software and do a comparison between the two http://www.remington.com/products/ammunition/ballistics/remington_shoot_ballistics_software.asp

The last day, CJ was using the 55's and I was on the 40's, same rifles and same rounds except for weights.
CJ could hold point of aim and be on bull where as I was aiming 2" high and 2 1/2" left to allow for wind and I was still being blown about a bit.
And that was only 200.

17 Rem is a great calibre and I was sorry to see it go tbh BUT I needed something with more legs in the wind. There was a bit of jibing here between the calibres but to be fair the results on the day more or less showed that it is more down to the individuals ability than their calibre especially in the format the competition was shot IMHO

Really wanted a 204 Ruger but couldn't find anything at the right price. However I will be keeping my ear to the ground.

The 220 Swift is a great round for foxes. Although the Remmy VSSF is a bit heavy, I would have rathered the Ruger 77 MK2, but alas none to be found around here.

It's all on the day and from what I saw the last day and looking at the scores there wasn't too much between any of us.

There was a relaxed atmosphere and a bit of banter which is more important than winning IMO. Too many competitions I have attended are very straight laced affairs and the majority of people loose interest as it gets too competitive. I am looking forward to a bit of shooting, a bit of craic and making friends with like minded individuals tbh and to beat my mate would be a bonus

gentleman jim

yeah lads i'll be there. really looking forward to it. it will be my first shoot:onot expecting much,just lots of craic. maybe some tips:D!! i have the tikka 223 stainless barrell with the 1 and 8 twist. any advice on how that rifle shoots on range?

Just tell someone that you're new to ranges and you will be "educated" Don't try to bluff it. Not much to it really just a few BASIC rules

As for tips all the lads I know who shoot there are only TOO willing to offer help and tips all you gotta do is ask

Tikka's are very good rifles.

Craic, well after last one it should be mighty Clive's dancing and underwear will be topic of some banter I reckon not to mention his latest foray into movies

dwighet

Lads i was down at the range today with my 7mm08 doing some testing for the deer season and old Clive was next to me shooting pea size groups all day with his 223... was a sight to see...But dont tell him I said that!!!!!

Dont ya hate when you help Educate someone and they end up shooting better than yourself:rolleyes:

But like you say Bunny Shooter..."its all up to the day"

It wasn't me!

Should be down for the VCRAI shoot and may well give this a crack while I'm at it. Should be a laugh.

How come I seem to have ended up with Dwighet's pink boxer's on this forum, see how as I started the rumer it all gets shifted over on to me. :mad:

That's because your a good teacher, you nursed me along too well.

But then you did use me as a pack mule up the mountains in Kerry.

And now I'm getting in shape for the trek again in September

Now I ain't gonna tell ya not to but the format the last day had us out at 200 yards and this might be a bit far for magnum

BUT the shoot advertised as a "deer calibre" shoot ended up with 22lr's in it :eek:

I reckon I can safely say this would not happen. And if it did I reckon the culprit/s would be 'educated' fairly quickly that everyone, including them, had to start somewhere

fish slapped

I'd agree with Bunny that would not happen, we might end up laughing at Dwighet (up wind) when all those raw eggs kick in!!:eek:

I think bring what you have and give it a lash you can only learn from the experience and possible educate a few others.

Hi their bunny;)

Whats the course of events on the day:rolleyes:

will it be 100,200,300:p

or 100,200:p

or all at 100:o

fish slapped

Just like when you go foxing, you never know what range or where it'll pop up or whats going to happen.

There was also no "sighters" at the last Fox shoot so you take the target as you get it, a true test to call the wind with your first shot , I love it:D
