    Didn't go to the perm today mate, decided to do a bit of work in the garden instead.
    Pleased you got a plink in matey, "standing" I really should do much more of it, save me carrying shooting sticks around but... I don't think I'll ever be that good at it unless I put some serious practice in.
    How's your Man Cave Wendy house doing ? Have you got the space now ?
    Mmmm, Hobbies, never tried them, must get a tin.
    Yep, due to extreme laziness over the years and getting a buzz from shooting tight little groups from more stable positions, I haven't really done much from the standing position for ages, save for whacking a few spinners at 25 yards-ish at The Bash. So I thought I had better get me some practice in.

    Play house / workshop thing.....I haven't had the chance to go and have a proper look recently. The last time I looked, the Workmate was in there and a chair, too! But she's still sorting loads of stuff, relocating excess unused/unwanted toys and all other manner of crap so, no doubt, when I have a look in there she'll have piled all sorts of clutter and crap in there. Be 'right, though, and haven't had a mo' to even start to think about any tinkering recently. That little HW50 I bought a couple of months ago could do with a fettle (and Rekord trigger swap) and I'd like to have a play with the Gamo at some point. Just a cheap, basic fettle, mind; I certainly don't want to be chucking loads of money at it.

    Hobbies.....awesome! Used 'em for years, Pauly. Devastating on short range Rolands. Cheap and seemingly very accurate in a wide range of guns. But, like all wadcutters, they run out of steam approaching mid range, so best viewed as close range pellets for hunting / barn work and excellent pellets for back garden / hallway use. One of the other reasons I've stuck with them for years is that all my hunting HWs were fed Superdomes, which I still use in a fair few of them for use at The Bash etc. For close range stuff I'd use the Hobbies, thinking that the make-up would be the same, so if a barrel's leaded in for 'Domes, using the Hobbies wouldn't upset anything. Might be wrong there, but never had an issue. And certainly worth trying some at your perm for the close-up stuff, matey.

    61 little sleepies to go, peeps.

    This September one always seems to take ages to come along (although not as agonisingly painful, like the April get together) but it'll soon be on us.

    And, just think, with the Saturday being the 2nd, for those lucky peeps arriving on the Wednesday and Thursday, you'll be there NEXT MONTH!

    See - Nearlier, nearly there!



    BOING!!
