well arrived today and on first impressions i'm very impressed
I've managed to buy a new Sinclair hand priming tool from Brian Fox who has a shop at the range.
More importantly i've discovered the beer is cheap and probably the best fish and chip i've ever had :lol:
More to follow when the shooting starts tomorrow.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Ahhh! You found Diggle Chippy? Yes, the best fish and chips - anywhere!
The forecast is good for the weekend - Stuart (Osprey Rifles) and myself have been nurturing five shooters from Spain and Malta who are taking their first steps into F Class.
I can only say that we were blessed with the weather as it was glorious particularly on the Sunday, this did mean some Mirage to contend with but even still some of the scores were scary . Results are here http://www.freewebs.com/fclassuk/competitions.htm
I would like to thank the organiser for their time and efforts and to Vince (Gun Pimp) for his help and encouragement when we were shooting together, proving what a great sport it is.
Well done to Spud who manages an excellent 10th in the F Open class, I only managed 20th in F-TR but came away happy and having learned a bit.

See you both at Blair Atholl. I'll try and rustle up some wind and maybe a slight mist as it was clearly for too nice at Diggle.
Mike if it's all the same don't bother mate :lol:

Cheers D, I'm not too unhappy, I whould have had a couple more points but I've learned my lesson about checking your score card before it goes in, I should have had 6 "V's" from the first detail and a simple adding up error cost me two points on another :( but there you I would of only have made one place different, but I won't do that again .
