Private Marker

Happy New Year everybody! Hope it's not too late and the new year is good for you all!

Interesting. I didn't know or think of that. I guess I am still learning. Just like on Stix targets 36 and 37 are 'restricted' by the flag poles at 1200 yds.

To be fair l wasn't outright blaming Bisley. Other than that RobinC l totally agree with with you. It seemed to be more than a stray shot and it's a very good point about the safety issue here.

To be honest no, l try to have as little to do with the office as possible. But you are right, I should have done, at least for the remembrance silence.

Whatever you thought of Prince Philip, remembrance is pretty well known. There was firing through that silence too.

Yeah fair point Scrumbag! Joined up thinking and NRA don't really belong in the same sentence.....

Scrumbag that's a good point. I don't have anything to do with the shotgun side for obvious reasons. All the same you would think that the NRA would put notices up there too.

RoyW I'm not convinced the NRA would care.

Cease fire is cease fire. There were notices up about the minute silence at 15.00 the F Class lads in competition stopped. Just because the shotguns don't have to stop for the 12.30 hooter doesn't mean they don't ever have to. Year before last they didn't stop for remembrance. It's disrespectful.

I have only just seen this, and can only comment on Bisley. The electronics at Bisley are notoriously unreliable. I've only been back since Tuesday and since then have heard of five breakdowns on the electronics over the radio. When you have a control radio it's an eye opener as to how the electronic targets perform camp wide. I put it down to poor maintenance by Bisley. As for human markers, there are a few good NRA markers, but they are the minority, ask the F Class guys who were at the Imperial. At least with private markers you are more likely to get what you pay for. You know where l am

Ha ha ha! Fair enough, you know wherr I am! 😃

???? Have I ever marked for you? Hilarious vid btw....

Better late than never. Happy New Year!

I look forward to it!! :)
