Looking for the scores to come out as i thought we put some good scores in for the centrefire as well.Mike357 wrote:
The above makes it all the more unbelievable that Dundee Rifle & Pistol Club at the first time of entering won the GR Smallbore Team event for TP1. Well done CormieAckImp, Lyons and mr smith for carrying my poor shooting.
party2 party2
The Slovakian LBP looked pretty tidy and in fact it's the first LBP or LBR i;ve ever handled as i don't think there really for me.Had a quick hello to those at the shooting shed and dougan and just missed Rog.
Had my first go at target shotgun on friday,multi target went okay apart from a stovepipe,embassy cup was a right mess.O well took my mind off the peeing rain for a little bit.

I think I am starting to recover now.
We had three incredibly busy days, even the rainy Friday was busy and I seem to spend three days meeting people, talking about all sorts of things and explaining what we have been working on which was incredibly well received by all I spoke to. We also met so many F-B(UK) members and probably missed many as well. For us this, our first show was a resounding success and we will be back for the Imperial.

Had a great time tongueout - Got back tired and happy for my creature comforts (don't seem to enjoy camping as much as I used to), but then today wanted to go back and do it all again...
Was cool to see Dave, Christel and Tim again (and James for the first time...top geezer!) - The SHED stall was excellent - looked great, had something new, and was a constant hive of activity - the new rifles and actions were on display, and my old man, who rarely gets excited by much, was quite taken by the quality of the engineering...which trust me, is endorsement indeed!...
...it was non-stop for the SHED team, who must have been totally cream-crackered by the end :goodjob:
Good to see Rog again - I ordered 1000 boolits, and ended up with 2000...he's not called Dodgyrog for nothing razz
Also got to meet some new folk - Very nice to meet Chapuis and family (who pointed out that the name is not pronounced 'Chap-u-is'
:lol: ) - Met Mike and Steve from the Scottish squad (must have a beer next time...) - Unfortunately I missed SimG (didn't go til Saturday), and Gaz which was a shame (Gaz were you wearing your usual hat?)...and apologies to Bnz and Bobbob; Christel pointed you out, and then I got side-tracked, and couldn't find you...
Had a good look round the trade fair, which was not as busy as normal - I still find a lot of the stuff fascinating, and have made my mind up about my next rifle...a .303 Martini Henry...though when the time comes I'll be contacting a certain Scottish dealer for a good one
My shooting was a bit 'mixed' - Gallery not so good, but really enjoyed (and kept my pride) in one of the .303 events; which has convinced me to try the Historic Arms Meeting...
...hopefully see some of you there :cheers:

It was indeed! If I'd realised it was you I'd have said hello properly, sorry!Chapuis wrote:It was nice to have met you Christal and ovenpaa, and also Dougan who popped in for a chat yesterday. I suspect that I also met Gaz sorry about that if it was you too but we didn't introduce ourselves. ( I held your .303 while you wrote out raffle tickets?)

Picture of the SHED stand taken Saturday morning and one of the Wolf, she has very likely either spotted someone with food or a male dog tongueout

Real glad everything positive for you and The Shed. Look forward to seeing you at the Imperial and different shooters.
Could you consider screwing some pipes on those tubey things? Making them real guns or has Surrey Constab said otherwise :lol:

John,
The barrels were there and being fitted and removed from time to time over the weekend. The design of the barrel thread is such that they can be fitted and removed by hand and without tools.
