I spoke to Eagernoskills who had been having an interesting start, however 20series sounds to be doing OK. Ex Skydiver did send a text as well so that is three checked in and on the point.

Good luck to everyone involved :good:

Its been a tricky day, did reasonably ok at 8/900 but stuffed up at 1000. Very hard to read wind changes had most people fooled to a greater or lesser degree

Eager no skill is hopefully no sorted for tomorrows shooting, sadly the weather looks like poo :bad:

Yup, just spoke to ENS and he has things sorted by the sound of it with the help of 20series.

I was there too, happy with my scores ( 73.5/71.3/72.5) but plenty of people shot better shot better, an extra point makes a big difference on your position. Met Mik and Gunpimp, thoroughly enjoyable day out. Unfortunately may not be able to make it tomorrow.

Sounds like things are looking up then and good news for ENS, he was very upbeat about the first day and despite teething problems was enjoying himself. (ENS is shooting a brand new rifle, with a scope he had not seen until the day and ammunition from HPS so one serious learning curve!)

Artiglio how is the second day going for you?

Good effort Alan, you should be proud of that!
