That is a brilliant idea, we need something to encourage a few more ladies along.
Although the thought of Paul in chintz and Sol in a frock will give me nightmares for a month (but it would be interesting to see how they get on shooting in stilettos)

I am a pistaholic, and proud of it
I would have loved to come but you`ve done it again
I will be in Las Vegas again for two weeks, there`s a Sig 220 down the range with my name on it, along with a few Glocks and Smith & Wessons. I think the M4 will get a look in this time as well
Will think of you as I`m throwing big lumps of lead down range

Put me on the list as well Paddy, please.
I'll bring my secret weapon this time; a roll of duct tape
Cheers

A few people have put there names down via our other thread on the U.B.C. Forum.
There will be a few lady shooters this time round & Jim has donated a special Jan McArthur Trophy for the Top Lady Shooter of the day.

Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction!
Are you still "parked" nearby, Aitch?

Yes, that's a true story, Jim! She did it with an arrow, fired from a longbow. It was at an event sponsored by the SCA - Society for Creative Anachronism, a medieval and Renaissance reenactment group: which is where we met, in March 2000.
After our for-real wedding in January 2001, we had a 1580's SCA wedding in March of that year. I grew a beard for that occasion - purely as a prop for the wedding - and just never got around to shaving it off.
Anyway...the rules of the archery event required each archer to shoot one arrow, in turn, at a piece of sausage mounted on a target. Everyone missed, then Jan nailed the sausage, and won the event.
