Single wetting under this routine is not allowed, TWG, TJA, CWG or CJA are all allowed as we have no sugar. 

Wooden ships not relevant to modern Damage Control Training.

No need to panic, people need a routine, as I have lots of experience being isolated from wider society I offer the following routine as adopted in our house to help you through this national crisis.

Markymark thanks for copying the email.  No I didn't get it. Obviously markers were not seen fit to receive it.

Are you a member of the NRA?

If you are not a member why would you expect to get a members email?

The Imperial will most likely get cancelled, sooner the NRA make that the decision the better for those that have book travel and accommodation. Covid-19 is a big sh$£ sandwich, everyone is going to have to take a bite, including the NRA.

Still we could bounce this around forever, it is what it is.

Sums it up

The decision taken by Tiff the PRL League Director and Orion is based on a number of factors including a responsibility to the local community.

What part of the event could be deemed essential or even necessary?

Risks of infection on the hillside might be low but there is still social interaction and the risk could not be eliminated fully. Additionally the more notice, of what was probably going to be inevitable, makes it easier for those that have booked and paid for accommodation and travel (Irish Teams) to get refunds.

Covid-19 advice has lead to the sensible decision to postpone the PRL Round 1 at Orion planned for the first weekend in April.

Slightly OT but a word of caution about the electronic targets. 

If you accidentally damage them, you may be in for a big bill.

A fellow marker told me one of his clients took out one of the mikes, and Bisley charged him  £600 for the damage. I've never heard of that with the manual targets. 

It's probably in Bisley's  t&c but worth pointing out. 

A Shotmarker Electronic Target replacement parts costs:

Look at the Powder Burn Rate Chart and look for data on other powders close to the same burn rate as a guide but be cautious. 

Bergara are bringing out a .22lr Mag fed action with Rem700 footprint. Worth considering for .22PRL.

This ill thought through law has nothing to do with the Proof Houses or the Proof Masters as far as I can see.

Lots of people use 1-4/1-5/1-6/1-8 power scopes in service optic and keep them wound down to 4.5x as JMH said.

Choose what class you want to shoot in and choose a scope to suit you. If you are shooting in SO class then get a reticle that suits you and isn't cluttered and adjustable turrets so you can dial in ranges quickly for run downs etc.

Apart from that it's personal choice and budget.

Get a good strong mount

The top scores in both classes are similar with SO often outperforming PO, so scope magnification is often irrelevant.

If you want a high power scope and bipod, choose PO.

Both the scopes you show have capped turrets. Steiner used to do a 1-5x24 M5Xi which if you can get 2nd hand is superb and has tactical turrets. Look at the M range not the T range scopes.

Or Vortex/ S&B / Trijicon and Steiner do 1-8x24 's with tactical turrets.

Go along to a CSR shoot and see what others are using.

 

 

 

What he said, good advice.

4.5x max magnification is Service Optic Class only, you can still have a high zoom capable scope so long as you can turn it down to 4.5x . If using a zoom capable scope that can go higher than 4.5x you must shoot and observe your shots at no more than 4.5x if you are shooting in  SO Class.
 

If your scope cannot be set at or below 4.5x then it can still be used but only in Practical Optic Class.

Looks good. 

1450 yards on a full size IPSC, 1/2 MOA at 100 yards on a Shotmarker Target.

Yes, they shoot well.

Thanks Ronin. Are the T slot nuts the same as M Lok

No

What a load of poisonous gonads,  fake news?

The Charity Commission intervention is not fake news.

The Savebisley and Bisleyshooting content is to be taken in with the knowledge that both sites operators appear to have an axe to grind.

Thanks for the responses. John  where did you get your rail from and do you think this might also work:

https://www.shortactionprecision.com/products/henderson-precision-5-arca-rail

Yes that would work but it’s a bit short, however, that depends on what you want to use it for. My ARCA rail came from Area 419, also available through Brownells UK.

All you need to source are some T-Slot Nuts and screws to lock the ARCA rail into the UIT channel.

The MoD pattern Fig 14 is not the same as the PC NRA version used for the McQueens matches shot at Bisley. A MoD pattern Fig 14 only has two scoring areas, a 100mm inner scoring circle worth 5 points and the rest of the Target scoring 4.

You could try staving an ARCA rail to the UIT Rail as I did on my T2k.

They are doomed unless the Membership take control and replace all the current ‘tarred’ Trustees and the CEO.
