Well done I am hoping to take my 15 year old Grandson to one of my full-bore shoots and let him have a play. Supervised of course he is quite keen to have a go. He has had a go with air pistols/rifles and .22 rim fire and in his words thinks shooting is CLASS. I think the Enfields might be a bit of a learning curve. :shakeshout:

What cadets at 10 years old?
My little 'un's only 16 months old and our lass is already giving me grief for wanting him to learn to shoot when he's old enough. She my cry when I take our (currently due to be born in December) daughter to the range :D
Good on you and your lass!

Great weekend on Century with 4 Brussels Sprouts butt marking 2 targets & thus letting off 100rnds between them of their 'pay' in the currency of .308 & .303 :goodjob:

Highlights - Son 14y old V bull 2nd shot with a No4 at 600 & he beat my daughter at 300yds with a 47.5. For once I beat her with a 49.6 but she was learning how to read the wind so was 'experimenting' where as i just bunged 2.3/4 moa on & rattled them off when the flag looked about right. Mind u she maintained about 1/3 moa elevation!

Thanks to Steve E for helping coaching & showing off his lovely Envoy - much appreciated by her & the kids.

Daughter is now residing Bisley for the week representing :flag13: country in the GB Scouts Team at the Jnr International so Steve if she wanders into the Surrey send her packing!

She has all week to clean the club guns too :shakeshout:
