Hope today was as nice for you as it was for us.
Today was a 300 yard shoot at the Middlewick range in Essex, I had with me my SMLE, No1 MkIII and, I actually had a really satisfying day.
Here's some pics:

It took me about 10 rounds to find where I was going and how the rifle liked to be pointed, etc. I was prone with a front barrel-rest, using iron-sights and I was feeding my girl homeloads of 180gr Spitzer, BTs.
After the initial ten or so "sighters", I was starting to place shots like these (some of these are actually taken one after the other, too) :shakeshout:

I finished the day on a V, too. Ok, it's not marksmanship shooting by any means, but I thought that was darn good
