Spring Bash 4th and 5th May 2024

[TonyL]

21 to go for the Saturday peeps.

And into the teens for you super-lucky Thursday peeps.

From what seems like an absolute age of a wait, we're most definitely nearlier, nearly there.


Can't wait!

BOING!

The secret to hitting the bucket, as Gav has pointed out many times, is to time your shots so they coincide with those of Craig P. Works like a charm, the bucket goes down every time 👍😎🤣🤣

At Mick's 2 lads were competing over knocking down ducks
Everytime one of them fired so did Ray and I
When we owned up to them so did half the lads on the bench

Looking at that video it was Emma doing the shooting.

Yes, those ducks (near the hedge?) were great fun.

I think the two lads were Craigy and Bad Daz?

Using RWS Hobby in .22?.Y'know, those flat head things that struggle at long range?????

I think I'll give that a go this next time.

Ah yes, viewing this on my phone with my dodgy eyes and hadn't realised there was a video attached. Great memories; thanks, Gary.

Y'know, taking into account the range and the blustery conditions, hitting these consistently is some achievement, really, with our little pellets, sub-12. Congrats to all.

I'm a Friday peep and feeling left out...

I've mentioned that in the past, betters triggers are a must, they where built really well, also had excellent stocks and what ever length barrel turned you on.

Maybe even Theoben could have had a massive influence if they had expanded a little eg springer break barrels alongside rammers much needed better triggers, perhaps single shot under levers both ram and spring alongside the Multishot.

Never seen this very short video before a hybrid single shot Theoben/impact under lever

Looking forward to meeting you, Scott.

Similarly, due to things dragging on post cataract op, I haven't shot since the middle of November. Due to get new glasses soon so I will be, hopefully, driving just in the nick of time for The Bash. Car also requires MOT, service and taxing once I'm able to drive. Can't wait to get shooting again.

Yes, as Pauly says, there'll be a sign at the entrance to the land on the opposite side of the road to the garden centre; you'll be fine.

And, yes, bring that 300 along for some bell target fun. You'll love it and I'm sure you'll perform admirably. And even if you didn't (I don't!), who cares? No-one's there to judge. It's just about being there, chilled and relaxed, in the company of fellow, like-minded, genuine people.

Cheers Tony, honestly mate once you get your glasses the difference is unbelievable I still struggle with how well I can see.

Ive started getting things sorted out already, as the old saying goes my arse is nipping for it

[Scott.]

You’ll fit in well with us old codgers then Scott

Neil usually puts a big ‘Bash’ sign by the entrance gate btw.

Apologies Paul I missed this post, thank's for that info,
Ahhh I'll bring the ralgex spray and CBD cream then

[EDIT]
And no matter what Nick Stanning says I will not offer to rub cream on anybody's body no matter how much I drink

[Waddy]

Put the destination into Waze, (the best & free phone sat nav app,) and it turns out I'm better off avoiding the M1 completely, either via the A1 or down the A15 via Lincolnshire
.... So I won't be going to Nandos after all . Bugger. Probably a KFC then . I take it the venue is the second gate that goes down a track next to the train line ?

If so I was winding up Craig and Ray was winding up Daz

Yep, that’s the one
