    Wait for the wind to drop, then pull the trigger.

    I probably am, not that you asked me

    S'funny though innit. Ford is well known for being windy, yet almost every time we host a big event the wind dies off

    Let's hope not this time, so everyone can enjoy the full Ford experience(although we will spare you the little plastic BB's under yer knee caps and elbows)

    Roll on Sunday

    These mildots gizmos are for girls and wooses, whoosses, wusses and whusses (especially those who know how to spell it)

    If the wind is coming from the right you aim a bit right, if it is blowing harder from the right than a bit, you aim a bit more right.

    Easy, innit

    Hi Mark,
    Not sure why I'm not on list above as Ive shot 4 rounds and so far in recoiling and got 3 Golds and a Silver?

    Shot a 50 last round and was down as a Silver, but top score was a 59 so came in as Gold?

    Hope to make tommorrow
