6mmBR Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I would like to heartly congratulate Ian on his superb win of the first F class league shoot of the year. Ian absolutely superb and it was a pleasure to have been there to watch. Ian shot superbly throughout the weekend with his new 6mm Crusader and clinched the match in style. He has worked so hard for this. I've just got through the door from Diggle and I'm sure when I'm a lot less tired more will be added. Nice one Ian All the best Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thanks guys, to say I'm chuffed is a under statement, some of you know how competitive I am but this was way beyond what I was hoping to achieve over the weekend. Having had several 2nd and 3rd place detail finishes I was pleased to get my first detail win quickly followed by my second. I so very nearly buggered it up, I shot a V bull and a 4 for my first two sighter shots on the last detail at 600 yards, I really thought hard about converting them but only being 3 points in the lead I decided not to. If I had I would have drawn with DK but he would have won on V bull count! I ended up winning by 1 point. I know I have said this before but I'm still gob smacked by the encouragement and advice you are given by everyone, even people who are challenging you for your position. Well done to Spud who had a really good first F class shoot and to Dave Lloyd who had a 75.8V at 500 yards earning him a well deserved 2nd place. All in all a great weekend, and to top it off I got a sun tan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Great shooting Ian - it must feel good to build something on an untried F Class cartridge and get a great result. I'd like to think the 6mm would still compete with (and beat) the 'sevens' at 1000 yds - hope you get to give it a try. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember telling me last year at Bisley,never convert a 4 ? I'm glad I listened. Are we to congratulate you yet? Vince, I'm definitely not using it at Blair next month, but I'm tempted to use it this coming week end shooting 1000 yards at Bisley with the Dorset Riflemen. I Have already used it at 900 yards and it shot extremely well but the weather was kind. I now know how Ronin felt when he won at Diggle last year and how Dave must have felt coming 5th in the Europeans and 2nd in the Imperial, I suspect Grant takes it in his stride as he wins so often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Well done Ian. PM me your email address and I'll send some photographs of you on the firing point and the prizegiving.

Laurie Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 got any others piccies please laurie Mark, Yes - a lot !!! I should have every 'Open' shooter somewhere, mostly Saturday 500yd. I have all the F/TR competitors bar myself and the other 13 worthies on my detail, as we couldn't get a volunteer on Sunday afternoon to use the camera while I shot with the sudden acute shortage of warm bodies to go into the butts. Remind me, what class are you shooting, what were you wearing and what make action / colour stock is your rifle? Regards, Laurie PS when I get a spare half day or so, I'll stick a full selection up on Photobucket and let people know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie PS what brass do you use as the starting point for the Crusader? Laurie, the easy way is to use Winchester 6mm Remington brass, the hard way, which I chose is to use RWS 7x57 Mauser brass.
