Autumn Bash 16th and 17th September 2023

[TonyL]

Well, looking at the weather we've had overnight (and some places have been really badly affected, I feel so sorry for them), are having and are going to get, those weather gods were most certainly smiling on Quigley Bottom this weekend.

Neil and Tina.......I don't know how you do it, but I'm so glad you managed to pull another blinder!


Thank you so much once again for everything.

I know a few of you commented on how well my knee replacement has gone but I am still not up to walking all that way to check a 35's muzzle crown

[TonyL]

Oh yes. Those chalk men!

Pete, thank you so much for bringing them along. They were great fun and gave immense satisfaction when squarely hit and exploding into clouds of dust.

Thank you!

Great to read of all having such a brilliant day, I'd hoped to make it down with Hellequin, but couldn't wangle it.

Bring on Boing 2024!

Thank you for your kind words. Shame you couldn't make it, but fully appreciated when you consider the distance and logistics.

Fingers crossed for you that you might be able to attend one day. You'd love it.

Oh did he now? How very interesting!

Y'know, I'm sure I also saw Pete flashing over some admiring glances. He was trying to do it on the sly, but I rumbled him! If our other Pete had also been there, that would have been three new 35 converts in one swoop!

I wondered when I was going to get dragged into this conversation, you should count yourself lucky I finally gave in and got myself a German rifle

Tinted lacquer, mate - best thing to use on Beech. You can get it from guitar shops

Many thanks Craig, I'll see what I can find

Thank you!

Goes to show really. There is so much satisfaction in a bursting target
Maybe we are still little boys shooting holes in tin cans

[Hellequin]

So glad you enjoyed it and many thanks for the wee Tasco, its due to be mounted on a HW 35 .177 very soon !
See you again sometime next year !

Until then,

John.

Great to meet you John, the little AG will do well on the 35.

Already looking forward to next year!

He's coming to one next year Tony, even if I have to go up to Scotland to fetch him. I've even got a tent he can borrow, so no excuses

Awesome!

[Neil54]

Thank you for all your kind words.

There has been left behind a green sleepmat (Tinbum?), a tent peg (Bullet243) and tin of .22 pellets with the label almost indecipherable.

The pellets could get used in due course.
Bullet243 may be short of pegs when he next puts his gazebo up.

[Neil54]

I have nearly put everything away. It's all at home. Just starts to rain when I go out to put it away, my excuse.
