Rivington Riflemen 1st fun comp of 2006

[martin bb]

Just a reminder to Rivington Riflemen Members that we have an opensight/springer fun shoot this Sunday 8th January at our indoor range.

[I. J.]

Dont worry if you dont own a springer. There is several available including: BSFs, BSAs, HW35/97/77/55s, A.A., Original etc. The gun racks look like Dennis Hillers dustbin!

Visitors, juniors, and inexperienced shots are treated with the utmost respect and courtesy, receiving advice and encouragement to help them improve and make them feel welcome.
Regular members are subjected to a torrent of abuse, all forms of barracking short of physical contact are considered acceptable, and a mighty jeer raises the roof at every miss.
All in all, a great fun event eagerly awaited each month, surreptitious practice is already taking place, but no one will admit to taking it seriously.
Come and have a go, you won't regret it.

Ian, I notice that although you have a Prosport in your collection, you don't have a TX underlever.

I know you prefer German springers, and, in a way, so do I. They just seem to have more character, and the build is reassuringly bomb proof.

Nevertheless, I'm surprised you don't have a TX.

Look a little more carefully.

Bob - 'All in all, a great fun event eagerly awaited each month, surreptitious practice is already taking place, but no one will admit to taking it seriously.'

'Superstitious practice' where you touch wood for luck, because I need as much help as I can get, is more apt for my style of shooting.

If you ask him nicely he'll probably send you a Weihrauch Baseball Cap

Another good turn out which was worth it just to see the variety of springer rifles in the gun racks. There was a few HW35s, 95, 55, 77, 97, 99S Original 35, Pro Sports, A.A. SE90, TX200, BSF, etc. If you haven't got a springer, dont worry, theres plenty on offer.

The gun rack.



'Two Screws', Steve, managed to find a HW35 with a straight barrel.

Young Aaron was easily the winner of the Open Sight Springer class. Young eyes you see (and a good shot).

The biggest award of the day went to 'Raygun' who proudly wears the Dreaded Duck for his efforts in not damaging the kill zone paint.

Our next 'Spring Rifle' FUN competition at our indoor range will be on Sun. 5th Feb. and will include 10m rifle and pistol events.
