    If it's going to be old AA's I'll bring my SE90.

    Mind you the kills will have to be big as it's a .22 which are very fat pellets

    Got my Mk2 Meteor out last night, thought I had better get some practice in.
    Eyes are not what they were 45 years ago when I bought my first Meteor, and that trigger!
    Looking forward to a great day and at the same time supporting a worthy cause

    To make it interesting there could be an open sights policy with standard cord resettable knockdowns at a max of 35 yards down to 10 yards.

    Or possibly classes, say for instance class A for the rifles with open sights. And class B, period rifles with contemporary telescopic sights, no mildots allowed. Apart from that still the standard HFT rules 1 point faceplate 2 points for a knockdown.

    I spoke to Pete Sparks this morning and he's all for the idea, club space allowing.

    Any interest, input or ideas from members on this.
    Did the last Tawd comp with a Crosman 600 pistol(with special dispensation from Tawd) would that count?

    Cheers.

    Roy.

    Hello Roy
