An other Top day, despite loosing a Gary Cane Stock!
Not as sunny as predicted and if i had know I would have re-done no 1 scopes markings!
Rangefinding was ok apart from around 35 -40 where some alterations are needed on no 1?
We tidied up the Easy ft lanes and re-sprayed the targets which was handy as we then shot them standing and you could see all my splits! Arms dealer I think was impressed with my ability to place a pellet just inside the edge of kill as apposed for going for the easy centr of a 45 ml kill loll!
I missed 5, mainly through laughing and enjoying the banter you always get when he is areound, even missing the plate was a laugh as I was not the only one to do it. Think arms dealer missed 8 but blamed his butt hook lol.
Rd 1 on the Gp course I did with Rev26/ no1 L and missed 3, T2 (Hard one) for a wobble, t12 the 37m Reducer (wrong setting on scope) andn the final 35m stander, close on that.Arms dealer missed 6.
Little wind but arms dealer weas giving more than me, coming out more than i "had" to
Rd 2 and Shunter came with us. First time out for a few weeks and the rusty rails showed as he managed just 7 hits and was over ranging, perhaps time for a winter set up change.
Priest / no27 in no stock took rd 2, not by storm!
I did hit the standers though but missed 6, mainly going low and left? Barrel clean seems to have sorted that!
Arms dealer managed to misss another 6 so we had a "shoot off" on t2 !!! I missed it by half inch wind and he hit it! So i lost No 1 stock thankfully!
Good laugh all day.
