My wife says write it down which I seldom do, so if I am off to shoot and she is not coming I get quizzed on what I am taking. "Have you got your bolt, have you got a magazine, have you got ammunition, have you got your FAC and cards, have you got...." Then I get to the range and find I left my shooting mat on the table at home.

A shooting mat is not important...

It is if your bolt is in the little pocket at the top where you never put it!

One time I got to the range got the gear out of the back of the truck, put the ammo on the bench, went down range and put my target up and on the way back to the firing point my cellphone rings. Dear wife asks

I thought you were going shooting?

To which I replied yep that's the plan, to which she replies,

so your rifle will be joining you later then, will it?

I'd left the damn rifle in it's case sitting down stairs on my gun cleaning table. Forgetting the bolt I can understand, but forgetting to take the rifle!!! :G Double DUH

I have seen someone get down to shoot, load a round, close the bolt, take aim and fire - except that he had no bolt in his rifle.

Well get out there and start loading! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I still don't have an auto prime holder, but I have a press that should be able to press them in provided they fit in small pistol primer slots...

Now don't laugh but attached is my aide memoire for a trip down to Bisley; might help any one else out there like me :?
