    Can you imagine Iron Plate shooting with plastic BB's You'd need to dressed like Ned Kelly

    Mind you, you could get a good rhythm going between body armour then iron plate then body armour etc

    I know, it's not safe. Would be funny to see though

    Sorry Richard, I am taking you seriously, the thought just tickled me

    the plates only need angling a few degrees and you dont get anything coming back towards the shooter or watchers if you set up on the end of the line

    Why would I expect anyone to take me seriously?

    I am sure there are ways of setting the plates up safely for BB, (we will probably find out!) but I'm sure the last thing any of us want is an avoidable injury.

    Paul, you might look better wearing a waste paper basket.

    I might shoot better if I missed out the eye holes!

    Present in Spirit

    Jan and I will be there, in spirit, now and forevermore!

    Mates, you've been so nice in your remembering Jan that I'd like to do something for the UBC / ask you to do something for us once again. I'd like to institute a Jan McArthur Memorial Award, some plaque or such that I will pay for, to be given out at all future meets.

    To the top woman shooter that day, maybe?

    Jim That is a wonderful Idea.

    I like the idea of top Lady shooter, there is at least two ladies coming to the meet so far. Hopefully we can advertise it now so more women can/would like to enter.

    As for the award how about the same style that we did for Russ with the snooker competition. >>Award<<

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Maybe it could be only shot with Jan's weapon of choice to "The Smith"

    Jim you let us know how you want to play it, and we will make it so.

    Oh and Paddy you better put me down fella, payment to follow shortly.
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.

    Hmm....we don't want to make eligibility TOO restrictive. I'd say, either the top woman shooter, or the top Smith shooter: but I prefer top woman.

    STOP that!

    Many years back, Mick Jagger portrayed Ned Kelly in a movie. Did anyone here see it? I never did.
