I will be there watching the Europeans and hopefully getting a few shots off as well if anyone else is around.

Europeans?
Is their a bus load coming or something and you are going to go and look at them???
You'd be better of doing something shooting related rather than foreign people watching.

Well I had a brilliant day, managed to meet up with Rox for a plink at 900 with some of his ammunition which proved to be very good with very little vertical dispersion once I had got it where I wanted it. Got to chat to many people both F-B'ers and others including John25, Heather, Karen, ENS, Steve E joined us for the afternoon and gave us a chance to put the world straight. I also managed to catch up with Mik have an oohh! and aaahh! and marvel at the prototypes of some of the things he has in the pipeline (Always good to speak, thanks Mik!)
Oh and I got to watch ENS put things together with great style

Robert, I met some very pleasant foreigners. Sadly the emails I exchange with David B are usually with the benefit of Google translate as my French is pretty grim so we did struggle somewhat face to face, luckily one of the party spoke very good English and acted as translator and I even managed to grab one of their rifles and pull it apart clapclap

Nothing wrong with foreigners.
Just if you were going to Bisley I thought it might be as well to see or do some shooting as well.

What I did discover is my AI barrel truly is totally shot out, I have been saying this for a while but I really must do something about it...
