... but why the towel over the scope in one of the pic's??
I'm only guessing but I see a lot of lads up there with covers over their scopes and I am guessing it's because of the wind whipping up the sand from all over the range. It's like being in a sand storm up there sometimes.0 -

Poulo is right it is to prevent any sand getting in the chamber. The wind can really throw a lot of sand around.0 -

A quick picture of the F-open lads on the firing line.
A couple of the hard working ROs catching a rare break. They are doing are fantastic job at keeping everything running smoothly.Forum Charter - Useful Information - Photo thread: Hardware - Ranges by County - Hunting Laws/Important threads - Upcoming Events - RFDs by County

Very tricky conditions today.
Some wizard wind calls made and good scores from all shooters and wind coaches given what they were dealing with. AFAIK About 15 - 20 mph fishtailing at 6 O'C but switching left and right too. Very nasty.
Can't remember the overall scores breakdown of the top of my head but on the FTR side of things the USA have a relatively narrow lead over Ireland :
USA FTR 1710 ex 2000
Ireland FTR 1624 ex 2000
So whilst the Creedmoor Cup will be decided on the combined F Open and FTR scores, its great to see the Ireland FTR Team entering the second with a minor score difference to assail.
Tomorrows a New Day!

............. Of course having my spotting scope stand (a.k.a. Ezridax's jeep) start up and drive off while I was watching didn't help. The cheek! :pac:
I apologised for that, but after 3 hours of scoring you take any opportunity you get to go to the toilet.
Was pretty harsh today. As dCorbus said a nasty tailwind switching direction slightly from just off 6 o'clock in either right or left direction. At the speeds that were blowing today it lead to fairly large deviations in POI.
Still and all, was some really good shooting, and some stand out performances by a few.
Have to say i really enjoyed the gun displays on inside the clubhouse. Seen tomcatt220's 6XC. NICE. :cool: One of many fine rifles on display, not to mention the Sightron scopes have somewhat peaked my interest.Forum Charter - Useful Information - Photo thread: Hardware - Ranges by County - Hunting Laws/Important threads - Upcoming Events - RFDs by County

Surley, the two parts of the Irish Team will win or loose together
Don't let them Yanks come over here and take our women trophies
Come on lads, never say die !!!!!!!! I KNOW ye can do it :cool:
We're all behind ye 100 % 0 -
The Irish lads have plenty of experience with mirage too I'd imagine. MNSCI seems to be able to produce mirage on the most unlikely of days. I have to use a polariser fairly often even on the 50m range.
I am not saying the irish cant work mirage . And fair play they are doing a fantastic job and are putting it up to the american teams. All i am saying is most of the americans can read the mirages as well as they can read flags thats all. 0 -

So if you are from America you can read mirage and flags but if you are Irish and for no other reason than being Irish you can't do this.
This comes from the same man that says you shouldn't practice shooting. You just buy a gun and that's it you can hit what you want with no practice.
You like stirring don't you.
I appolagise for lowering the tone of this tread but this kind of comment is rediculas and I feel like I have to comment.
Well done Irish team tomorrow is another day don't give up yet. We are all behind ye.0 -
