August McQueen results

#1 Post by Ovenpaa »

Duff eyed doyle admitted he might of done this before after he shot two perfect stages with 10v's in each :good:

Best V scores of the two stages were:

Duff eyed doyle 10v
Dangermouse 9v
Lapua338 7v
Ovenpaa 7v
Heather 6v
Ex-skydiver 6v
Kingsburyshot 6v
Doz 3v
KennyC 3v

Given the rain, and the general conditions I think the shooting was outstanding from all forum members, DM had been up for nearly 30 hours, KennyC was wearing shorts ( :lol: ) Heather and I were shooting Saffie milsurp and Heather had not touched an AI before or shot McQueen, erm.. Doz had a river running through his rifle and, well we were all up against it in one way or another, so no excuses just a brilliant day out and roll on the next one :goodjob:

Memorable quotes include Christel (Who flatly refused to get her 22C wet) saying her German army surplus goretex jacket was leaking, "That is why it was surplus" Was DED's reply :D

What has a Chrono ever done to you to justify such hatred? :o
It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end!

Apologies for keeping it low key today, I had to get some data for loads that I need to make up tomorrow for Diggle at the weekend, and I was tired and wet.

Good to have a go at the McQueens again it has been too long now. I now have some confidence to enter again with some knowledge that I will not be waisting the entry fee. I was particularly pleased that the loads that I threw together for today were so good at 200 yards. I have 22 left which I have marked up as good for McQueens!
Not bad for a Rem 700 action.

The Chrono, that the great white chrono hunter shot, appears to have only cosmetic damage, however it was showing error on the display. I suspect that the error relates to rain water sitting on the sensors and not trying to get a message over to the shooter, re his aim! Perhaps a message of "Owe That Hurts" would be more precise.
