We had our first Bell Target pairs competition at the RMTC club last night, and the final between the top 3 pairs proved to be very close.
Phil suggested we all shoot the same rifle for this competition, and I just happened to have a "new to me" Original Model 75 that I took to the club to give it a shoot to make sure it was working a good as it looked and to set it up for 6 yard Bell Target shooting.
Graham adjusted the sights and we each had a couple of shots with it and then we all used it for the competition.
Pairs were decided with a very technically advanced technique developed and refined by Phil (involving some coin tossing) and then we were off!
John Gould parked (tied-up) "Black Bess" and immediately complained that the foresight element on the Model 75 was too small ( we all agreed) and then rang the bell time after time with his classic "hunter hold" that cannot possibly work for target shooting 
Phil ran away with the results ( he took them home to add them up properly for us as we were too busy shooting our own rifles after the event was finished) and will bung them on this thread later today - but Johns calculations suggested than the unlikely pairing of Bob and Richard had won the competition - but to be honest the result is of very little interest - it was a good fun event that we should repeat every month from now onwards!
Everyone is welcome - rifle supplied - come and have a go next time Thursday 11th July.
