Every bash leaves you with memories. Mine from the weekend; Sunday morning and Mike and I are up and about just after sun-up. A flock of sheep had descended into the range field. Mike single handedly cleared them before I could assist. Part sheep dog, or did he remember the sheep oath from 'Babe'? I think he may have just said "my mate Dave's going to be along in a bit"! Secondly, picking crab apples for reactive targets, we popped a couple on spikes for practice. Here's where clibre makes a difference; I hit one with my .177" and gave it a nice centre parting, but it stayed in tact. Mike hits his with the SFS 80 (lovely rifle Mike, drool, drool) and Kablam! apart from a few fragments, nothing. Lastly, Craig, Neil, whoever was shooting the Steyr; how did you manage to ring that bell so quickly, so successively - I thought someone had set a fire alarm off (nice shooting chaps).
Until the next one, thanks again chaps.
Yes to chipping in any extra required. Or if you need early arrivals to help physically,yes too
Mark the secret of the "alarm bell" is contained within the phrase "semi auto"
Pete
You are forgetting Mark.
We are such good shots we use springers to make it harder
Pete
An auto springer, now how would that work?
Lovely day again. All targets down, just moving stuff around. Had to stop in the Anchor for refreshment. And I have my shorts on.
Repariere nicht, was nicht kaputtist.
Yes it was shorts down here for gardening today. More info than some of you need I know.
Come on NickG I need the semi auto conversion for my TX200
Pete
Absolutely, Mark; so many great memories that stick with you forever.
The sheepy episode sounds like a giggle.
When I got there on the Sunday there were loads of duck wandering about on the range.
Those crab apples were, indeed, excellent fun. Great how some of them virtually "vaporised" with a direct hit.. My friend Adam, making his first ever appearance with his 99, really enjoyed the crab apples and enjoyed success on them with the open sights. Earlier, we had fitted a scope that had been lent to him my a friend. It looked to have seen better days and the points of impact were, er, extremely variable. Back to the trusty, solid, reliable HW open sights and he was regularly hitting the little fruits at 25-30 yards. Great for a newbie and the smile on his face priceless. He'll be back.
That Steyr certainly was good fun. Very accurate and with such a rapid rate of fire. Neil and Craig weren't half making things dance about and ring!
