    Highlights: I cleaned the Advancing Man CF (iron sights) and got a best run of 1.85 secs in the steels smallbore, so well happy :-)

    What kind of tricked out Ruger are you using for the speed steels mate?

    Boggo ruger action and barrel from 1977 :-) in a Barracuda stock.
    For the steels I use a red dot sight rather than a scope.
    Normall I use a cheapo 3-9x50 AGS scope on it.
    At the moment I've invested in a Kidd trigger, as my wifes was playing up so she had mine, but it's made bugger all difference to my shooting!

    Have you got a an NJS cartridge belt or similar mate? or do you have a bumbag or some such? I found that having the proper belt really helped my time. I think its all about slinging those 12 in 30 seconds down as fast as you can... rather score a hit than still have them in the gun when the targets edge!!
