    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)

    Yes, it's a pretty eerie thought, innit?

    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

    It stops the targets tearing out too much and gives nice holes if you put a patch of tape on the back.

    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.

    I've got some great news, well it's great for me. Brenda, my missus, has agreed to shoot at the October meet in the Jan McArthur comp. She'll be using an airsoft TM Coly Python 4". Because airsoft is non lethal, therefore inherrently far safer, she has decided to give it a try. We have been out in the garden practicing in the garage range. I filled the Colt with gas and its max 24 BB's thinking that would be plenty. As it turned out I had to reload once more Considering she has never shot a pistol or rifle of any sort I'm really impressed with her shooting. She was shooting at one of our old UBC targets on A4 paper held vertically. Out of 48 shots I think she only had about 5 or 6 complete misses, ie she missed the paper completely.

    Of course I'm biased, but I'm well chuffed for her

    And well you should be, Paul!

    Another new shooter, another new woman shooter, another new safe shooter, and another shooter for the Jan McArthur Memorial Trophy!

    You're happy, so am I, and so is Jan!
