Finman Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looks like a great time was had by all...sure I'm sorry to have missed this! I certainly do hope that, should the opportunity arises again, I am able to participate. Well done to the organisers, it is always amazing the amount of background activity required to stage such an event. best wishes, Finman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trex Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 That looked like a good day out with a huge amount of work for the organisers but an interesting course of fire that would make the shooter think, very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Pre-shoot BBQ Breakfast and 1st briefing We kicked off with a 100m know your limits stage. Not sure how, but I managed to take a pic with Tom firing on his lonesome: It was immediately apparent that the invitational nature of this inaugural event meant that marksmanship standards were high. Targets of this standard were the norm: Then ‘proper’ serials started. We started with time pressure, wide arcs and unconventional fire positions: We then relocated to high ground and started on mid range and other ‘unique’ targets: Where’s the target?! 225m hostage steel: (shooter behind the boulder) Then more ‘weird stuff’: Compulsory transition to a provided rimfire and then engage a moving gong ingeniously set up to show itself for only around 0.7 second every 3 seconds : Later we came upon what I can best describe as a ‘heli-JCB’… a suspended wobbling firing platform from which the shooter had to repeatedly engage a couple of targets on a wide arc under time pressure: Banter was good throughout (heli-JCB in the background): Rup hard at work: Then on to all sorts of other challenges – here the ‘weak shoulder standing offhand’ element of a multipositional stand: And a 325m small gong: The day was taken with a display of extremely impressive and consistent marksmanship under wildly varied challenges by Gareth (the dogge) shown here on the heli-JCB . Well done Gareth! If you would like to be considered for inclusion on future guest lists, please either introduce yourself via one of our knowns, or -if you're out on a limb- please drop a PM to one of us outlining your experience, competence and suitability to join in. We'd be delighted to welcome more like-minded, safe and competent people to future comps. Multipositional at 2 distances on 2 bearings One shot per yellow slot 2 from the left of the vehicle, 2 seated in the vehicle, 2 from the right of the vehicle in 90 seconds Most of the line-up the 325m gongs are hanging in the centre of the tyres: Prize table; (Help for Heroes tin was for collecting and not a prize!) Another big thankyou to the sponsors of the prize draw with gunsgobang (Alan Wey), Davy (shooting shed) and Tom Ulmann donating some exceptional gear. Not to mention Tim who produced an array of bits and pieces so nobody left empty handed.Thanks also to Dauntsey Guns and of course to Vernon the owner of the Quarry. Lunch Rifle compulsorily canted by 90 degrees ( a bit of a grey matter test to work out where to aim!) Rup canted at 90 The 0.7 second exposure every 3 seconds spinner. Judging from the misses, this must be Ronin's go. The winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaken Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 How much was raised for Help for Heroes in the end? £96.24 Well done guys, lets get it over £100 at the next one :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
