dannyt Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well iam back from blair ,came home early with self enduced ammo problem . Changed the neck tention via bushing with out testing very silly boy . The Vertical yesterday was so bad on the fisrt detail that we had some very low scores across the board. But the story of yesterday would of been the Electronic Targets Failing ,down to just 2 working by the end of saturday . I hope Des and his fellow helpers can get them fix for sunday , I felt realy sorry for Des nobody can help it when the Targets Fail . Somthing to be said for the good old buts crew system.

Elwood Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I can only echo Dannys reply, there were some bizarre elevation issues happening and obviously effecting the scores. Des has made the best of a bad situation and managed to keep the competition going, hats off to Des for that. We are now shooting once with 2-20 today, should be interesting string firing, but I have to say I'm not a fan! Of shooting this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you there Ian ,Cant see it catching on over here But well done to Grant and the rest who have got to grips with it. I think its a bit of a wake up call for the GB team for next year,but i think if string shooting is needed to improve the GB team they need to set team training days for it . THE TIME JUST DOES NOT ALLOW FOR IT IN A GB LEAGUE MATCH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I found my way a bit better in the 2 plus 20 on Sunday, but I'm still not sure about the string shooting, it obviously suits Grant (good enough reason not to do it again ) But to only drop 10 points in the match is some achievement, well done Grant. Of course it will be different again on targets that are being pulled, like Diggle and Bisley, it certainly will not be as fast as Blair and I possibly might have time to plot. My biggest concern is that it makes an already uneven playing field even more uneven, I witnessed this with several strings being shot, one of the shooters certainly had better conditions than the other, had they been shooting alternately it would have been equal, but C'est la vie.
