Shepreth Results 18/4/10

[jinx]

What a great day for a shoot - really good weather, loads of people and a course that tested everyone's ability to the max. We had full size kills on the odd numbered pegs, shot from any position and all the even pegs had reduced kills which were all kneelers or standers. I heard almost as many donuts called out as i did swear words, so i knew it was about right. I think the scores reflect the difficulty, but a few people rose to the challenge and did themselves proud. Well done to all the winners and thankyou to all who turned up to make it an enjoyable day.
Also thanks to Simon P, Simon J, Wayne P and Chris B for the help in getting the ground cleared and the course set. Last but not least, thanks to Sarah and Sue for the great food - needless to say, there is no cheesecake left!

Well what a great course and to boot a glorious sunny day no MUD at Shepreth.
A good turn out and nice to see some old friends from MAD making the trip.

We've just dusted the Volcanic fall out off the guns

Many thanks to Bruce for helping Jonathan with his scope, hopefully he'll score better next time

And special thanks to Sue and Sarah for all the nice food and especially the cheeeesecake

Great day, a testing course and good for practicing all those positions we try to forget about. Enjoyed shooting the course with Wayne we had a laugh or 2. Great to see all the familiar faces from around the different clubs. Looking forward to the next one.

One of the hardest course i have shot at Shepreth.
The 8 and ten yarders looked as if they had been with a 12 bore .I willhave to get my eyes tested again as i could not see the mark i wanted to hit. I still enjoyed the shoot and company though.See you next time.














the 8

Absolutely superb course; equal quantites of swearing and downright bemusement! Thoroughly enjoyed this one so well done to those who set it up.

Many thanks too to Chris who kindly let me share his Webley Mk.III as the piston rod in my Original 50B decided to make a bid for freedom minutes after being shown the zero range. With the open sights roughly set (okay, whalloped with a screwdriver butt one way and then tip-tapped back abit) we bravely (is that the right word?) ventured forth onto the course.
And what a course to try this on!!! For quite a few we had to employ Martin with his scoped Falcon as a spotter to give us a clue which direction the targets were in let alone where or what they were.
Oh, the sense of achievement when we heard a metallic *tink!* in the distance! More often than not it was either abject silence or one of a number of 'woody' sounds that we now have an NVQ level 1 identification in.
Our combined scores still fell short of matching Martin's!

Looking forward to the next one already .. come on folks, a few more of you ought to have a go at open sights, I promise you won't have laughed so much in yonks!

[Mrs. H]

The 8 and ten yarders looked as if they had been with a 12 bore .

Ahhhh... yes...um.... that was probably us with the Mk.III

[freewind]

Like ya style Anne , open sights and words like yonks that were last used when everybody used open sights.
