    Went out and practiced a bit today, but had to stop because of rain. I'll try again!

    Done some practicing today.

    I couldn't get on with the laser, So I went back into my bits & pieces box, a few minutes later I came up with >THIS<

    I zero'ed it much better than the laser, went onto my target. However the zero was progressingly going over to the right . Until I realised everytime I cocked the HW45 my thumb was turning the turret wheel . God I'm pants, well at least I'm honest


    So the competition is now on good luck to you all.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Nice set-up, Pad. Once you get the hang of it, I think that HW 45 and scope are going to be the most accurate combination around.

    Jim

    I think that is the over riding factor

    Thanks to Baduila for your payment.

    One person has submitted his score so far. I can honestly say that this target is harder than the last one..

    Bugger!

    Darn it!

    Spent 4 hours practicing today with the Falcon, HW40 70 today determined to get a 50/50 with the Standard 6 Meter target (shot at 6 yards) I DID IT

    But last night I went to bed thinking, must do the Snooker comp tomorrow and guess what!

    I forgot to shoot it

    Oh well if the wife finishes the gardening before tea time I will have a go this evening

    Thought i would have a practise with the HW45, give myself a challenge, it's still zero'd for the bulleye's comp, but got a 1 on my first go a 3 on my second and a big fat ZERO on my third, I think i may have to re-zero before i shoot my comp card.
