YOU's don't fool me with the 1 hour less :rolleyes:

Just after watching Rocky Balboa

Should I be worried

Ewe's or yo's as we call them will all be up an hour earlier in the morning.

I worked a 13 & 1/4 hr night shift when we went Back to Winter time so I am fully in synch with the time.

Just after changing all the clocks

Hope these Belgian Beers don't go against me tomorrow.

Best of luck CJ (the Killkeny Stallion)

nice to put a face to the names

landkeeper

i got a text telling me some expert shot the wrong target:eek: but no further info was forthcoming come on lads spill the beans, i was told however that tack is treating some of the lads to a chineese on the way home in wong gongs

It was a good day and a good wind blowing giving the rimfire lads a chalenge. Still if i'm not mistaken a rimfire took the highest score (will confirm ASAP). It was a .17hmr or something similar and came in with a 157 out of 160. Excellent shooting irrespective of rimfire or CF.

There was some "friendly" competition between some of the regualrs here with re-entries trying to best each other, but overall a good day and a challenging comp.

Made a balls of it myself. A note to all newbies, it helps when the gun has bullets in it. :rolleyes:

Father had a great day scoring 145 of 160 with his new rifle and i seen alot of happy faces from lads that had obviously improved on their last comp score. Well done all.

A good turn out and nice to see lads taking advantage of the zero targets and i see a few lads put suggestions into the box.


Also just a reminder. The main competition, that will be a mixture of the last two shoots with some new formats also, will be coming on the 8th of May. Prizes are to reflect the "grander" scale of the shoot and should be a full days shooting. I'll post the relevant notice when we are closer to the date.


Lastly i'd like to thank the ROs (even the ones that slagged me, you know who you are ), the staff in the clubhouse, JP for organising another great day out, and not to forget the lads and ladies that dedicated their day to running the butt duties/targets. They do most of the work and are often overlooked. Well done to all.

Nice day for it. Nice to meet a few more of you. Shot fairly crap, but it was great fun. Really nice competitive format. Will hopefully see another few of these now.

meathshooter1

Well done yet again to all concerned in the organising and running of todays competition.

Great day out. Top class shooting and piss taking and excuse making.

clivej

Well again my thanks go out to all involved in the running of the event.

And again my shooting was middling but I can't give out 'cos that's how I shoot at the best of times. Weather held off and was Ok but the wind played havoc with the rimfires as it gusted up and down from 2 o'clock.

Plenty of excuses for the worst shots as ever it was never their fault.
Roll on the next event in May where I'm told the prizes will be something special.

It wasn't me!

A quick note of a big congratulations to dCorbus. That wind was extremely nasty on the rimfires and he pulled a very solid score out of it. Really nicely done.

ah well, I'm glad my shots on Belows Target put him across the finish line I was happy enough that I got 78 out of 80 on one Target, Oitty I got 56 on the other, But them's the breaks.
First time Meeting BelowAveragrIQ who was a sound man to chat too.


Glad to see everyone there in great form.
Glorious day weatherwise .

Myself,Paulo and Dev went for a shot afterwards, tally was a few bunnies a piece and Paulo got a Fox on my permission @216

He will be posting a thread later on 75grain Hornady Match Vs a fox.

poulo6.5

Well done to all the lads for putting on a great show today. I enjoyed it emencly and I look forward to the next day.

Nice to meet up with some more lads from here also.
Well done Belowaverageiq for setting such a high score it will be hard to match never mind beat it.

bang2

Great day and great Craic shooting the targets the way they were set up.

belowaverage was never going to be be beaten with that score early on in the match, great shooting.

Well done also to ianoo with 147 , 4th I think, the 223 performed well

and congrats to diveshark with 146 on his first comp shoot, and first season with a CF.

great day all in all

I never got a chance to see the browning buckmark!

134/160 was not bad considering I fired 2-3 shots into the winners target of 157
I was not last :pac: And Myself and Paulo were both beaten by Dev who equalled clives score.

It was great fun all the same, look forward to the next comp!

I live and learn.

It must be those Superformance rounds your using that are better than the shooter.
Try using the sh!te (sarcastic tone of voice here) rounds all the rest of us are using.

You love stirring that spoon :rolleyes:

Yup he was using AE. They are a great round for a great price.
I'm sorry I didn't use them as they are very accurate out to 200 yards but for my first comp I didn't know what to expect so I played safe and used hornady.

It wasn't me!

Was zeroing my .25 again after the competition and prone, at 200, was getting groups of about an inch on average with the Federal Powershok I've been using. Some a hair over, some a hair under. Fantastic accuracy for the price though!

First comp, Shooting Centrefire only 2 months, no mean feat equalling CJ's score a Target shooter for many, many years

No argument. That wasn't target shooting. It was an entirely different beasty. Does test the reflexes and your ability to trigger decent shots quickly. Would love to have seen my targets actually, see what the group was like when I wasn't being as slow and easy on the trigger as I would with infinite time.

Next time, an idea could be to use hit or miss reactive targets, like a clay, which would be about the right size to simulate a shot on a fox or a good shot on a deer, and start from standing, with maybe seven or eight seconds to get into position and take a shot. It would test the confidence as well. If you decide to just swing it up and shoot standing, but if you go prone, you spend time getting into position but have the extra steadiness. Something like kneeling off sticks would end up the best compromise, but you still need to be able to get into it quickly and shoot well. Great simulation and a lot of fun. Could also make it mandatory. Same four shot system, but starting from standing each time, one each standing, kneeling, sitting and prone. It might open up the field a little. Use of sticks would be fine too. Any thoughts? I dropped a chunk of that suggestion in the box yesterday, but been having a further think to myself and the extra position demands would be interesting.

Or just a sign that I will consistently beat you :P

Atleast I use my varmint gun unlike someone's .204
I can stir to

Next time, just beat him with his own Enfield. I reckon he'll do less stirring then.

Great day out yesterday and I was pleasently surprised at how I did but to be honest the crack with Tackleberry made the day, all I could hear beside me was ........BANG ....BANG.....fu(k fu(k fu(k...:D:D:D:D,
It was extreemly difficult to shoot straight after that and I nearly got sick laughing....
I know Tack comes in for alot of sh1te here and I have often dished out my fair share of it to him too, but I havnt laughed as much in months with the crack with him yesterday....Tack ,having finally met you, your clearly half mad.. and I mean that in the nicest possible way.:D
Mind you judging on what I seen yesterday, If two deer stepped out in front of him he would more than likely hit the poor farmer that gave him the permission in the first place.

Great day.

It's a nice gun. You might have trouble getting it back off him alright. Next thing is to get Sparks to give it a shot on that same format.

Nice meeting you too

And yes I am half mad.
I hit everything I aimed at, Pitty I aimed at the wrong Target

I was using 20x, I dropped down to 14x and I got 78 with that so I was overall pleased (albeit kicking myself for fcuking it up in the first place)

I've tried that already
Good bit of craic, lots of crying after every shot, decent grouping but feeling odd about shooting off a rest instead of a sling while prone.
Might be nice to try it again this summer, if I didn't have to buy the rifle (and upgrade my security level!) afterwards

Lots of people I recognised yesterday.
Next time if there is no competition on I'll have more time to chat.
