just as an aside, was your profile picture taken at Guntelsey Thun?

Well spotted. Yes indeed. I had the pleasure of shooting there in 2018 with the British Alpine Rifles.

Ah it was the Easter meeting. Didn't make it for the Autumn one. I believe my membership application was still in process just before excrement hit the fan last year so I'm not sure of the status. I do plan to become a member. Are you?

Yes sir, I managed the 2 autumn meets and fell foul of the virus for last year, this year I'm hoping to do both (if the easter one goes ahead) the club moves slowly but if you havent heard pm me your details and I will forward to the chairman

A few us from my club were geared up to attend in Easter last year but as you say that all unfortunately fell through. Very much hoping to make it to the next one, whenever that may be.

I don't blame them for being slow given the situation, although would be good to know the status of my application. As soon as I am granted the ability to PM I shall do so, thanks! Still a new member here.

I would be very interested in seeing the left hand operating rod, i didn't know you could get one for the K31.
