    I say I will be. I didn't get any help from stray bullets in the last shoot :D

    :eek: Unfortunately, I won't be there :mad:

    Beginners luck only last for one shoot generally :P

    I shot my .303 with battle sights and I wasn't the worst score by a long way so I was pretty happy with my performance :cool:

    We shall see about the beginners luck after tomorrow and I will let you know ;)

    No luck in getting a swap so. Pity. Maybe your better off as you probably won't be dying from a flu next week from this soaking we going to get.

    That .303 is pretty nice. Next time I will need a target to test on :D

    What lead would you have to give the moving target?

    I have never shot at a moving target with a rifle so am abit clueless :o

    Aim at the centre but dial in 0.5-1.0 MOA left;)

    So the targets move from right to left then?
    So you are saying only 1/2 - 1 inch lead?

    Theres no definitive answer Dev, wind speed and direction, How fast your walker is moving, speed of projectile, all I was suggesting was an alternative to holding off left or right.
    I know all the above are obvious statements and even If all the variables are taked into account it will all go out the window if you pull the shot with 70 pair of eyes looking at you...............no pressure then :P

    Hey guys im a novice at target shooting but i might have a go tomorrow. Have my .308 a year, Mr White put a mod on her last week and this'll be her first day out on a range:)
    Only problem is ill have to mount and zero the scope at the range on the day. The mnsci website says "Registration at 10.00am. Competition commencement time 10.30am."...

    Just wondering would any of ye have some tools or knowledge that could get me on zero in time? It usually take me ages.
    I assume ill be able to use zeroing range prior to the registration

    Cannot help you there Tack. Between one thing or the other i never made it OUT, then a call from home forced me to leave early. Not overly upset. Pig of a morning between rain and hurricane force winds.

    Never made it down to the windmill range.:mad:

    Didn't make it. Decided on friday that I'd chance a local 50m prone shoot (In the middle of exams, more fool me) but I couldn't have spent the day in Midlands. Certainly faced all the same conditions, but it was fun.

    I'm raging I did not go, Done Feck all study today.

    Paulo and Dev are very happy with their trophy's.
    The fact that it was blowing a gale today is a really testimony to their ability.

    Paul was egging me on, all day yesterday to go, perhaps I should have.

    All I've done today is printed off a few notes, and had to decline an invite to go shooting with the lads and a Supermacs Celebration dinner.

    Good man, beat bunny with his own rifle. That might keep him quiet for a while, though I doubt it. :p

    Oh aye, love those old classic rifles. Great fun. Have won a few too many competitions with borrowed guns though, folk are going to stop lending them to me. :p

    How'd you get on in HH?

    Nothing to write home about. I got to shoot 6 details over the weekend and it was a good learning curve. T&P1, Multi Target and GP40. I missed the A4 size target completely a couple of times :eek::o. But the nearer I got the better I scored :D

    I had a good time there I must say.
