Super morning, great fun.
Thank you Swallows for your hospitality, prizes, food and even holding off the drizzle.
Target ten will take you straight to purgatory .... but ya didn't get me.
A happy sossidge.

Wishing You All a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2019, especially Fluffy aka Sossidge who I guess is knocking on a bit now, off to rub my lamp now!

……. to everyone who turned up; not loads of us but much fun was had.
For anyone of you who have yet to figure out what went wrong on target 10 on the HFT (rifle) course, you probably failed to spot that it was a perfectly 'normal' 15mm head-shot rat EXCEPT it had a 30mm 'hole' painted in the centre of its body AND the paddle behind the 15mm kill had also been painted yellow. That was Stuart's idea and explains why it was one he insisted on putting the string out, avoiding any of the rest of us viewing the plate up close before seeing in our sights.
Well done to Howard - who was top shot among the visitors - and walked off with a winners mug and boxes of chocs.
And well done me. In spite of getting a doughnut on HFT lane 5 (clipping one of the close logs), I just managed to pip Vince and take home the Swallows FTC Xmas Turkey trophy.
Full table of results is HERE
For a couple of you (Vince and Steve) I couldn't find your bench rest target, so unable to show the detail of individual bull results - only the total. Ditto for Steve on your HFT Pistol results (only recorded a total)
5.1 scores showing in the Bench Rest results indicate that, for those bulls, you knocked out the 5 ring without touching the 4.

Thanks for a very enjoyable morning. Forgot the first rule of HFT "pull the string" on the devious peg 10
