Well I bombed and had it not been for you Mr Cormie we would have finished last I dare say. Yes, lots and lots of practice. And reliable hardware :lol:

Reliable Hardware is probably the single most important thing you need. It doesn't matter if you're the best Shooter on the Range if you end up with a couple of rounds left over! Get a Marlin...
