    Thumbs up First go at 'FT' at Tawd Vale!

    Just spent a brilliant morning at Tawd Vale having a go at my very first FT session!

    I must admit I enjoyed it as much as I enjoy the HFT sessions!
    brilliant course layout, I raise my hat to the guys/girls who set it out,
    you FT bods sure love the long range stuff!!, the target in the tree was a complete b****r, with the wind but at least I hit the plate.
    (Bernard you are an evil git!).....thanks for showing me the ropes and explaining the rules, and putting up with a complete FT numpty!........tried the dialling thing with the turret in the back garden when I got home btw.......it works fine!!......just need a volunteer to show me how to use it/set the ranges!

    Didn't get much in the way of a score.......think I got 12 or 13, but that's not what counts with me, as long as I enjoy it, (and I did!!) I don't care if I miss 'em all.
    Many thanks to the chef(s) for the bacon and sausage butties! outstanding-as seems to be the norm.

    Well thats about it really, thanks for a b****y good day out!

    Cheers.

    Roy.

    I would have had a go myself, but im on call this week

    Glad you had a good time, i want to have a go myself, but i just can't see how sitting is more stable than prone. I must need lessons myself, as i must be doing something wrong.

    Do you want me to save you a feather ??? Maggie maybe

    Glad you enjoyed it Roy. Good innit.

    It was a good course and a difficult windy day.

    Your score was actually quite good. The average score on the day was only 19 ish with many putting in a score of 15 or so.

    It won't be long before we get Acenorth sat there with a "dream catcher" hanging off his muzzle!

    See ya 27th? for HFT Sizzler Number 1.
