    There is good news and bad news:

    the good news is that the cows have been in the field so the grass is shorter

    the bad news is that the cows have been in the field - look where you walk!

    we have tried to keep the firing points clear........ even for left handers

    Whereas i on the other hand (see wot i did there) made sure there was a cowpat to the right of every peg!...Ha!

    Good course, all new, nothing is the same, should be some carnage in that wind ( if it hangs around...)

    Sure sounds like it has hung around and been eating spinach all night. Can hear it howling around right now.

    This should be fun. Will it equal or beat in to submission the "2 mil dots at 15 yards" breeze we had at Ford for this year's Round 2 of the SIHFT?

    See ya'll soonish.

    Great course made "interesting" by the wind. Many thanks to Phil for his guidance, best I've shot yet in a windy field! Was surprised to win but shows the power of teamwork!

    I think this format is really helpful for those of us looking to develop our shooting, perhaps more club meetings should adopt this approach, and allow a second shot at a target if need be (first shot to count at the risk of stating the obvious!)

    Special thanks to Charles and Biggles for their work on the SIHFT, much appreciated by us all chaps

    Off to enjoy a brew in my SIHFT mug (and hose off my mat and dry off my gun and mount the torch ready for next Saturday night!)

    Well.

    Which is a word certainly NOT earned by my result today. Took my coachee to point out that my scope enhancer was awry and could well be the cause of my missing several close (15-25yrd) target by as much as 1 1/2 dots high. I was wondering when he'd notice that; took him far too long Doh!

    And that wind No where near the strength we had at Ford, but it refused to stay steady anywhere? Oh, no. Git it half a dot and it needed one; give it 3/4 on the next target and it wanted none at all.

    I reckon that anyone scoring more than 50 and any pair amassing more than a ton should be dunked in the village pond - must have been using Halloween trickery.

    Great fun, in spite of the shooting and the rain and the wind, and thanks to all Oakies who prepped and delivered such a good end-of-series SIHFT event.
