    2:30 on Saturday mate. What about you my West Country friend?

    Having a crack at the speed steel challenege on Stickledown at 10:45 with the Ruger... even though i've read the format for it, still got no idea what the hell its all about!! Need to see the range to actually visualise how its gonna work. 18 inch diameter plates sound HUGE!! 18x24 inch stop plate sounds even BIGGER!! Surely thats way too big for a 22 to 30 metre shoot?

    Thanks Roy,

    That was very interesting reading, and I feel a little bit re-assured. But in all honesty.... I still dont really get it.

    • I need a minimum of 125 rounds.
    • I get five goes.
    • There are 4 18inch diameter plates and a 18x24inch stop plate (yellow)

    (In my mind: the buzzer goes off, I wallop the 4 x plates down then shoot the stop plate)

    How many magazines can I have ready to go?

    Thanks!!

    Adam
    (nervous but seriously looking forward to it).

    Five lanes of five plates, each lane to be shot 5 times.
    You need to get them all in under 3 seconds from the beep to be competitive, preferably 2.5
    Epic fun though, "Tink, Tink, Tink, Tink, CLANG!"
    Fastest run I've ever done was 1.99secs
    15x 303s, 1x .223, 1x 7.62, 1x .308, 8x .22s, 1x7.5, 1x30-06, 2x.357, 1x45-110, 1x45acp, 2x32-20, 1x.50, 2x12bore, 1x 357lbr, 1x .22 lbp and some others... 42 currently :-)

    Thanks Goblin,

    Now everything makes A LOT more sense

    So in theory then, unless I totally spaz it up, I wont need to reload during each course / section.

    You sound like you've done this before, any tips? I was reading that link that Harricook posted. I guess I want to position my body towards the most central plate? so that I dont have to lean off centre too much?

    Cheers!!

    Adam

    SO did you have fun?

    I shot like a total retard, all common sense and practice goes out the window when I get to bisley

    made X class in GRCF multi target, was about the only good result to come out of it

    however I was having fun no matter what the scores

    now the saving and reloading starts for next meeting, god help my bank account when the phoenix comes round LOL
    Don't worry it only seems kinky the first time
