Thanks - it was a great day - bloody challenging though.

A fig 14 target is very small at 600 yards !!

And what a great prize raffle. Everybody had a chance at a £3000 custom rifle, a .22 MP5 and an Erblestock case. Among dozens of other great prizes.

Many thanks Andy, it was a superb day and I think we all walked away with a big smile on our face. A special thank you to JMH and his good lady wife for all the hard work and effort that they put into this event and help make it such a memorable occasion.

Great to meet you at the BBQ

I had one N/D with the bottle opener but apart from that, all good.

Yes - great BBQ and nice to put names to faces - the social aspect is just as important as the shooting !!
