All this talk of open sighted guns facilitated by these new target "systems" is certainly getting the Boing juice flowing.

Can't wait, boys!

[TonyL]

Seems to be shooting alright now though. Will give it a thorough session tomorrow and hopefully will get to christen it in anger

How did it go today, Chris?

I reckon the open sights could definitely be a bit of fun Tone. I'm almost tempted to pop the opens on my '77 for the weekend

[flyingfish]

Steve's secret is out! Just seen the boss of Gambon on TV. PRESIDENT BONGO has just announced a marine reserve

[NewPaul]

Im also fetching a few open sighted guns one from 1907 and one from 1912 plus a few more made before 1980

Wow !! Sounds cool Alan

How did it go today, Chris?

So far so good, had a wee plink out to 40 yards with the 80, but it was the kral that got used in anger as I'm still not familiar enough with the 80 to be happy using it on live quarry. A cold and windy day but we put together a respectable mixed bag in the end most importantly no repetition of the swarf incident

I haven’t got any rifles on ‘opens’ . My HW77K came with open sights but it just begged for a scope. I’ll bring a couple of pistols but would love a chance to really see what ‘Our Tone’ is tempting me into...... a HW30 so...... a go on someone’s may just tempt me eh ?

I totally get what you mean with the ‘confidence’ in a particular rifle to do the perfect job mate and pleased you got a mixed bag.

I wonder what the flip that swarf was ??? Couldn’t be a pellet dropped in could it ?... Nah, that would be too soft to cause scoring wouldn’t it ?

[NewPaul]

I’m currently sitting in a Prem Inn in this ‘ere London right now. Was due a baccy run to Belgium in the morn but it was cancelled and I’d paid for the two night stay here ages ago Had a night out in Baker St with a lovely young lady friend (ex colleague) of mine which was nice but would rather be at home in the countryside right now to be honest. So tomorrow...... think I’ll go to Woody’s in Wembley and spend a bit of time there..... it’s a bit like that Desmond’s Barber shop on TV but guns and not haircuts if you know what I mean. Probably pop over to my old permission at the farm/stables too to see a few old faces which will be nice but I haven’t brought any guns with me unfortunately

[NewPaul]

Is my Avatar just a bit too rude/offensive ?

[Roundshot]

Yep, too true, Ted. And with the bell target that Les also brought along, great to have even more short range / open sight options, bringing into play an even wider choice of toys.

May I have a quick go with the Mod D, please?

Yes matey, plink away with her; for a 109yrs old gun she does very well at 11.5ft lbs with .22" Superdomes, so precisely zeroed on the fine iron sights that she's good for 30yds on spinners and knockdowns.

Got to be done mate. I'm going to put Jacks shortened 30 back in the original stock for the bash as it has open sights. Feel free to plink away until temptation gets the better of you.

Hi Ted

Standard and a light pattern for the tin can's and Bell target.
