Shepreth XMAS HFT 20/12/09

[jinx]

SAGC rules, there will be some festive targets out for a bit of fun and we are having the usual xmas raffle.

[jinx]

Got all the raffle prizes today, going to be worth buying a few tickets.

[Mrs. H]

If we don't have a silly hat to wear can we use a silly gun instead....

[Simple]

Anne, I shouldn't encourage this really, but..

You could use a different gun on each peg

Might take you a while to zero them though, although from what you said on sunday, your not usually bothered by that anyway.

[Mrs. H]

Hmmmm!! thanks for that!! There's clearly a fine line between;

a. Not knowing where your zero is but having a vague idea where the aim points are

or

b. Knowing where the zero is (21 clicks up...Eeeek!) and then realising you haven't a clue where the aim points are.

Ooops.
I thought I'd re-zeroed it for 25yds, but in hindsight suspect that was now the secondary rather than primary zero and it was now honed it at the 68 yd mark.

I must not b*gger about with my scope I must not b*gger about with my scope I must not b*gger about with my scope I must not b*gger about with my scope I must not b*gger about with my scope *ahem*

In the absence of a silly hat (okay, sillier than usual) I'm toying with the idea of;
1. Daisy 880 multi-pump. My pride and joy in about 1985 and fitted with a cutting edge 4x20 scope. Not sure about the 300 odd pumps it'll take to get round the course... or if it'll go beyond the 30yd mark. Actually, if I can see beyond the 30yd marek with that scope...
2. Jackal sidelever; great monsterous hulk of black synthetic bits. (Do need to zero that one...)
3. Pre WW1 with iron sights.

Failing that I go back to youir original idea and just connect up a small trailer to the back of Bruces stock to take the arsenal around with me.

Oooh decisions decisions....

[Simple]

Bruce's Stock....

What a multi purpose piece of timber it is.
Not only does it work well on his rifle, but if it rained hard enough, we could all float home on it.

We would all like to see and play with some of your vast collection Anne.
I'm not sure if the weather on sunday is going to favour the old relics though.
You could however strap all your guns to Matt and he probably wouldn't notice..
