    I am indeed very happy with my purchase from you - but as they say “even dodgy used car dealers sell a good-un by mistake now and again”

    I must have got lucky that day or you sold me the wrong glove!

    I realise that this is a purely hypothetical question for you to answer, but “How old would you be in normal human years?”

    I have noticed in life that your first few birthdays and your last few birthdays are very similar. On both occasions you need help to blow the candles on your cake out.

    The last birthday cake I had with candles caused a candle shortage in this area and three fire engines attended the blaze.

    ...a lower table could help you get close enough to blow you candles out

    ..it was all going so well until....

    Everything was going so well at the club last night - until Nige asked if we would like to try his LP5

    Nige then showed us the targets used for "rapid fire" and explained the times for each shot sequence and offered a "tap" on the shoulder to start the 5 shot sequence and another at 10 seconds or 20 seconds to indicate the time expiry of the time period.

    This may not seem like a "high-tec" timing method, but it was a really good way to try this discipline and to understand the amount of time that is available for each 5 shot sequence.

    Now we are talking about fitting a target turning fitting to our HARING target changers so we can add this new (to us) discipline to our clubs activities!

    So - if anyone has an LP5 or an LP 50 they would like to sell (at a reasonable price) - please contact me by PM or email as it looks like we can offer it a very good home!

    Thanks Nige
