Summer bash 2024 3rd and 4th August

[NewPaul]

72 to go, peeps.

Are you ready for your big day, Pauly?


BOING!

Sadly I can’t attend but if I was it would be 69 sleeps for me tomorrow . As it stands, I thinks it’s now 98 sleeps until I make the September Bash.

It's my day off today so I get a lie in so a late morning Boing.
I hope everyone is well.

Hoping to get to the range this weekend & see how the 95 is, if the weather is kind.

I've got a decent red dot on a Crosman 2240 (had to as the open sights wouldn't zero) it's tiny & makes it possible to be a lot more accurate, but then it hasn't got the cocking action of a 45.

Not sure if it's an age thing, but open sights seem difficult to focus on. Don't recall it being a problem shooting the heads off matches with my Relum Tornado when I was no'but a lad.

Understood re the opens. I hope the weather gods smile on you and allow some nice range time; I think things are meant to be improving? Can't remember if you'd said previously whether you'd ever gone to Brian Samson's excellent indoor range at Doncaster? Superb facility and within easy striking distance from Driffield. I wonder if I might be able to slot in some visits after work soon, as it's just round the corner from my new workplace.

Before we say " yes kids are allowed," how many?
Yours or bus full?

Only joking of course.
Yes kids are welcome. If they are shooting then they will need supervision on the range unless they are expert marksman.

Children under 14 must be supervised at all times and not left alone with a firearm.

Nice one, Neil.

Early evening boing to beat Gary

That's a fresh and different GIF for a BOING!

My daughter made her Bash debut at six months old - and still shoots most Sundays with me.
My younger son, however, still can't be arsed to attend. He's far too busy playing Roblox. ( Of which I have no forum friendly comment to offer ).

When young Eleanor next comes to The Bash, I predict a double assault on The Bucket. You'll need to be re-inforcing the poor thing, Neil.

What is the young lady's pellet prep regime, Craigy? Jelly tots or similar?

That little one will also be catching the boingery bug soon.

Everyone of us that attend is a ‘kid’ of some kind - mentally anyway

You’ll love it Carl, sadly I can’t attend this one but would love to have met you since I so enjoyed your rat stalking saga a few years back that kept us all entertained and on the edge of our seats. Hopefully you’ll return in September and we can catch up then.

That rampaging ratty thread was an all-time classic, wasn't it, Pauly?

Sadly I can’t attend but if I was it would be 69 sleeps for me tomorrow . As it stands, I thinks it’s now 98 sleeps until I make the September Bash.

Just try and pretend and tell yourself you're coming to both events for now, Pauly, and you can enjoy two of those favourite number celebrations, my friend.

Not THAT late, Gary, to say you're having a "lie-in". Guessing your body clock's so out of sorts, though?

Now, Pauly we expect. But, was this a late one for Les, or a very early one?

71 to go, peeps.


BOING!

She won't tell me, mate.
But I know glitter and PritStick is involved - it's all over the house...
