I offerred Ian my Tempest to shoot with at the club tonight and he physically recoiled away from it as if he was afraid that it would cause him some serious harm

He did shoot my tinplate Diana Model 2 and spent some time with my Hammerli Single - but despite several attempts to persuade him he would not even touch the Tempest !

Good luck tomorrow night - but I think you will be lucky to get Ian to give the Wobbly a fair chance - I think he has already talked himself out of it !
