Diggle Fly Shoot - 31st July

[The Gun Pimp]

Well Swarovski, I started competitive benchrest shooting when I was 50. Prior to that, it was Target Rifle, Practical Rifle and a bit of pistol.

 

One day, you just have to get out of (the) Bath, set your satnav for Diggle and enter a comp.

 

The guy who got me started in benchrest was Terry Love - he lived in Bath but traveled all over the world to shoot benchrest - including Diggle.

Travelling long journeys is my pet hate vince especially driving them.when I go on holiday abroad the 40 minute trip to bristol airport suits me.

I shot the fly shoot on my 63rd birthday until 18 months I thought 300 yards was a long way, shot most of my life shotguns and rifles. I am still shooting 100 yards but now out to a thousand should have done it years ago trying to make up for lost time.

Shot the fly and Mike M only beat me by 9 thou on the smallest group. Not only is he a good shot but he introduced me to long range shooting and we now shoot together.
