400m done, moving out to 500m. So far so good, a few vbulls. Sky is pretty murky and a few drops has fallen so far. Wind is from the back and left, maybe some 8-10 miles an hour. Not too bad.

Thanks Alan!

Well said. Best of luck Ovenpaa, Mr smith, cormieAckleyImp, the lads from Aberdeen and everybody else.

I'll be there next year. Gallery Rifle and maybe a McQueens I think.

Dangermouse is here shooting the same comps as Ovenpaa today, he turned up in a hoodie with the forum logo on, how good is that?!

It does make me smile ;)

Pictures to follow.

No rain so far but the wind has picked up from about 10mph to 15 ish now. They are shooting 900 right now. Ovenpaa managed to be attacked by his own scope, blood gushing he said, I saw a scap and a tiny amount of blood. No doubt he will be asking for the nurse when he gets home ;)

I met Doz walking back to the shooting point. Always good to put a face to a forum member's name. Oh and we also met Artiglio. Good stuff!

Back home now, 6 distances shot, my brain was pretty well fried towards the end. The wind was tough at 900/1000 and the target looks very small. Range reports will surely follow but right now I need some food :D
