gunner Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Of course you can come. Anyone with a valid FAC is welcome. Its a guest day, and all you pay are the range fees. Most of the shooters there wont be members. I guarantee you will enjoy it. great thanks for reply , didn't see your reply yesterday ! Are you going ? whats the ranges ? 300 and 500? 5 shot grouping at every range ? atb...tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Usually three, five shot groups, which are marked after each course of fire. All at 500 yds. A great day.. OOOOPS - Sorrry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Sorry that was uncalled for. Hope this helps. One small question. How come the orange group has six shots in it? Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 The comp is three, 5-shot groups - if you can't count and want to fire six - OK, but you can't make a group smaller with extra shots! It looks to have been scored (about) correctly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oaken Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 I wondered about that myself but given the time pressures the markers are under I'm happy. It doesn't affect the score and there are 15 shots on the paper :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillo Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 What a b**ger. I can't make this shoot due to other commitments to non-shooting wife. Can I assume that this comp is always on the same week-end each year? If so, I'll book it on the calendar for next time well in advance and chance the crazy August M-Way traffic. I can't think why I didn't see it on the Diggle calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Walked into the Diggle Range House this morning - noticed two strange faces - "OK guys?" "Yup" "Here for the comp?" "Yup" So, half an hour later and I'm ROing the 600 yd F Class comp. "This is the Fly Shoot isn't it?" "Er no - that's tomorrow!" Anyway, the guys shot 600 yd F CLass, their rifles are now in Diggle's gunsafe and they are enjoying a pint in the Diggle Hotel - looking forward to tomorrow. No names of course................. It was a bit windy today but the rain held off so fingers crossed for Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp Donkey Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 On the way home now, that bloody fly must have moved between shots !! But, a good day, sorry, weekend. I must thank Vince, foxy, and the rest of the crew and regulars for making a potential f up weekend into a very enjoyable one, made to feel most welcome, nothing was 'too much' trouble at all. And, now knowing about the bunkhouse, I feel a few more trips to diggle from Wiltshire coming on. Many thanks all Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
