Hatzi Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 You will have likely met a few more members than you thought. Today was the biggest turnout I have ever seen at Diggle except for the Fclass nationals and since forum members have a real name and a forum name, you often find out later `who` it was you met. I once met Brown Dog and talked to him for 5 minutes but had no idea I was talking to `brown dog` until i saw a photo later in the day on the forum.

Nice to meet those that I did, when the 2 Chris's and I were released from captivity (aka measuring and scoring) I great day appeared to be had by all, well done Vince for running a great shoot as ever.

Hatzi Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I hardly saw or spoke to anyone, I was in the side room doing the scoring with Bruce and co. from 11:15 until closing time. Bruce tied for the win and is a member here but I cant remember his forum name lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above statement just about covers everyone that was there! yes it was a good day-except the usual diggle rain storm. a big round of applause to VINCE[gun pimp] for getting the show on the road im sure he was chuffed with the turn out. thanks to BRUCE-CHRIS for scoring,and all those that acted as RO.s a good day out .

oaken Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 The elusive fly....maybe I'll get it next time. :-) I was Diggle virgin today. Just got home after a 4 hour drive but it was certainly worth it. A friendlier bunch of pisstakers couldn't be found anywhere! Thank you all for a great day, a warm welcome and a chance to put some faces to familiar names Rup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Donkey Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Same as rup. Great day, and chuffed I did so well with a 6x scope on a new (to me) rifle. Only missed the fly by a few tho' and all I could make out was the 'chunky red vee' great day. Thank you to all concerned, and good to meet y'all. See some of you soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan534 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks to all. The fly eluded me yet again, it really doesn't like me but had a laugh and at least I know my waterproofs work. Of to the desert for a while shortly so that's me not shooting for a while so see everyone next year. Regards. Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks to all who turned out today for the Fly Shoot - the biggest turn-out I can remember at Diggle for any competition. Many of you traveled a long way - your support is appreciated. A special thanks to those who - as always - willingly offered their help with scoring, RO duties and of course butts. We have plenty of pics and hope to get a write-up and results in the next issue of Target Shooter. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks to Vince and Chris and Chris for the scoring, and the butts crew. Everyone did a sterling job, and the day ran like clockwork, especially with such a high turnout. First time out for my new .284, and i was just out of the prizes by one point [i think ] Good test of its load, which looks very promising, and the fly got his....twice. Its a great, fun comp, and i can only echo what a lot of people said....can we have it twice a year please Vince ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnery Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 i second that Dave twice a year would be good but would the turn out be the same? i shot my newly purchased AI AE MK111 IN 308 which i bought from Rob (Long Range Captain)also shot the comp with a new sound mod on for first time from Colin (onelesscharlie)had a brilliant result got my fly patch,1st in factory class i think smallest group in factory 2.1 inch and fourth or fifth overall good results all round for AI in factory Glen (ballistic Hampster) 3rd AI mk2 6.5x47 2nd Darrel Evens AI AW 6.5x47 good day had by all even though we did get wet through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Vince for arranging, second Daves thoughts on 2 comps a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole-e30 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Vince Can we get 2 Fly shoots a year please..... As a fly shoot virgin this was brilliant, I should have come before now. I will happily help with the scoring again if it helps...... so long as I can have a free packet of paracetemol to help the brain drain Cheers Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
provarmint Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Thoroughly enjoyed the shoot, amazed by the turnout, well run as ever, thanks Vince, Chris (my head hurts)and Bruce for scoring, all the butt crews and everybody else I spoke to on the day.

The Gun Pimp Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Guys - I'd love to run two Fly Shoots per year but, with over 300 shooting-mad members, the Diggle comp. calendar is full to bursting! What about another club giving it a go? I'd be happy to supply a sample target - any printer will run them off and i can give you the address of our fly patch supplier. It's an easy comp. to run - if you have some dedicated scorers to help! Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
