Uk Springer @ MAD Rnd 5 RESULTS

[freewind]

The general idea at any comp is to get there with enough time to have a quick plink/zero then something to eat and a cuppa. Unfortunately the guys in the chequered 4x4s decided to close the M25 .
Still, after a bit of a rush the comp got under way at MAD and what a course again . The wind was doing no one any favours, and due to the shape of the course it could be coming from any direction.
Congratulations to the trophy winners today , they were well deserved.

Another great day at Maldon with some nice wind playing tricks and a tricky course to take no prisoners.
Well done to Ian for all the hard work you have put in again to make it run so well again especially with not one cease fire.

Cracking days shooting and excellent company once again.
More than a couple of if only's (including the 2 my lad got that I didn't).

Not wanting to wish my time away, but,looking forward to the last round at LV.

Wayne

[Cooperman.22]

Would like to say thanks to everyone for delaying the start for 20 minutes so me and Andy could make it. Can't believe it took 2.5 hours to get there this morning after being stuck on the M25 car park!! I've driven to Quarry quicker.

Thanks to Ian and the team for the tough course and no stoppages at all, felt knackered at the end .

Also well done to the trophy winners today and Simon Parker , sorry Vant, for winning the shoot off.

Looking forward for the final showdown at LV next month, it's getting cosy up at the top.

[Cooperman.22]

Yep again... i think i need more practice as im just rubbish

I reckon you get plenty of practice with shoot off's mate...

[NeilB]

Many thanks to the team at MAD for a cracking course, just a little bit on the tricky side!

My first time to MAD, an excellent venue.

Regards NeilB

[Harry]

Thanks to all the M.A.D guys for an excellent course today,
Well done to all the winners today in windy & tricky conditions,
Well enjoyed it as it was my first time at M.A.D and im sure it will be just as good on the last round at Lee Valley,
Oh and nearly forgott they do a smashing bacon roll and a great cup of tea too,
Thanks again guys.
Kind Regards,

Please dont keep on about the mistake at the presentation when I introduced the winner of the shoot-off as Mr Simon Parker never in my wildest dreams did I think it was Mr Simon Vant [now now only joking Simon] .
Now about my 54 the real story.
I went up the club Saturday afternoon to pull the strings out and paint the 20 shot practice course ready for Sunday morning .
Had a plink while waiting for 2 new members to join up and I moved the scope as it was shooting low .
Started shooting without checking anything out Sunday morning [did;nt have time ]and the first target I shot the pellet went 2 ins high on a 40yds target asked if I could shoot it again and put pellet on pellet 2ins high,so I moved the scope back a full 2 on the hight turrets and carried on the shoot ,hence the 54 that I scored after the first shot could not count.you live and learn
Just leave the bloody thing alone .
cheers Ian

Yeah so you were shooting like normal then

Kidding aside thanks to Ian and the MAD crew for another good day out. All I can say is that it was a quality course that made you really think from start to finish. It was definitely a National standard course, not just "chucked out and hope it works"

Among us .22 lot, it certainly was reducing grown men (and women) to blubbering wrecks by the end, every peg I was praying for a "gimmee" but none came

When I heard other people's scores at the end, I was bloody grateful that I didn't pick up a 0, as plenty did
