    What more can be said really, except

    I've known Steve and Sarah for just overr a year now and it's long enough to know that when they decide to do something, they pour their heart and sole into it. That is obvious with what they have and are achieving here at the Redhill Revolver club.

    From absolutely nothing and in a little over 4 months, they have poured in their own money and an awful lot of effort in order to obtain the ground, buy the targets, make the props arrange the insurance etc to get this off the ground. Their good friend Graham Knighton has also been quite generous in his support. I believe Steve was up at 5am this morning setting the course to ensure we all had a fun day and IT WORKED.

    Steve, Sarah and everyone who has helped you to develop this, THANK YOU GUYS, you have done a brilliant job.

    In addition to the HFT tagets, Delta1 provided an exciting, Entertaining, very enjoyable IPAS shoot. It is of course totally different to HFT style shooting but works flawlessly alongside it and adds yet another dimension to a brilliant days enjoyment.

    On a personal note it was great to meet Delta1, MagicnineR and others for the first time, it's always nice to put names and faces to BBS tags. Some guys made a huge effort to get there travelling a great distance over many hours, what commitment, I am proud to even just be associated with you guys.

    What a great day, I was shooting from 10am till around 4pm before helping to dismantle the course and boy was I bushed when I got home.

    The Redhill Revolvers are going from strength to strength and if anyone has even the slightest spark of interest in pistol shooting, they MUST get to one of the Redhill meets, I'm sure they'd leave having been fully convinced of the fun they have been missing.

    SOL, did that bus ever arrive, I wish you would have accepted my offer of a lift to the train station mate. I hope the rest of your journey home was on time and uneventful.

    Well done and Thank you to all who assisted in getting this lot set up, it was FANTASTIC.

    Cheers
    Bob

    i would also like to add my thanks to Steve and Sarah for putting on the shoot, first time ive seen/shot pistol htf, and i thought it was very good

    also a big thanks to Rich for running the ipas, but more so for putting up with me at the end and continuing to time me

    not to forget Nick and Bob for letting me have a go with their pistols/rifles. when ive acquired said guns i wont forget to post threads blaming you two for it

    and then there's Andy, without whom i would have struggled to get there.
    for anyone who doesn't know Andy offered me lift to the ground from the station, so cheers Andy.

    and last of all, to just about everyone above for offering me a lift to the station at the end of the day. sorry if it seemed like i was being rude not accepting offers but i didn't want to inconvenience anyone, im sure you all must have been knackered from shooting in that heat all day.
    i know i was, so knackered in fact that i didn't care that i was sitting in a bush of stingy nettles at the bus stop i just had to sit in the shade, forgetting to pack a bigger drink was probably a bit silly and the women who spent about 20 mins watering one pot plant in a hose across the road from the bus stop only made things worce

    all in all a great days shooting and with company like that the miles traveled pale into insignificance. i hope to see you all again next month.

    Nick i hope you liked your first bomb from a botl
    ill leave you with some googling to work out what the hell im on about lol

    to the people i promised emails to ill get them sent off now, if you are expecting one from me and don't get it by tonight im sorry ive forgotten just post a little reminder and ill send it off asap, i will try and remember everyone though.

    running is that what you call it seems more like a fast wobble to me.

    cheers Andy, only 2 points in it though. and lets not forget you were shooting a right handed pistol cack handed.

    First of all; glad you got home safely, good to see you again.

    I must admit its not often I've seen someone go in quite so many directions at once!

    See you at the Gala, and please, please accept a lift next time.

    I drive well over a thousand miles a week, so a few more makes no odds!
