oaken Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have at last received acknowledgement from H4H of the summer MQC donation (event no 39130517 -0630 -6052) of £300 donated from the shakeytin along with several very generous cheques. And those who donated their entry fee when unable to attend. Thank you all for your generosity. H4H appreciate every penny. There are still a few spaces left for the next shoot. This time invites have only been sent to those that have previously attended so, if you want to give it a go, you are very welcome, just drop me an email and I'll send you an invitation.

tackb Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 well after a 4:30 start and then getting home at 11 o'clock i'm pretty tired but elated at improving on my last MQC place with a 4th this time! A great day orgasnised by a great bunch of people and attended by a group of great competitors , what more could you ask for ? there was some very generous prizes donated and i'm sure there has been a good amount raised for H4H on a personal note does anyone know where i can get a green onesie ? i think it would be perfect for running about in the sun doing fire and movement! I can't wait for the photos , there should be some great shots ! thanks guys Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 ''on a personal note does anyone know where i can get a green onesie?'' Think Paddy stocks these now! Great day out and many thanks to Rup & Co for all the hard work and good banter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danpd Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Awesome day out once again. Thanks to Rup et al for the large amount of time and effort put in, and for keeping the balance of challenging shooting to fun just right. On a side note, the tactical onesie will be hitting the shops very soon..... Just you wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbangman Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 What an amazing day of shooting and banter! Good weather, too. This was my first MQC but won't be my last. The standard of shooting was impressive and the challenges were imaginative and fun. Many thanks to Rupe, Pete, Rich and everyone involved in putting this on and making it run smoothly. Thanks, too, to the generous sponsors, Dane & Co., Dauntsey's and DTA, who donated some great prizes. Paddy, you have made my year with that prize, very kind and more than makes up for the tactical dungies! Enjoyed your African anecdotes, too, you lucky SOB! Here are a few crappy phone pics and vids; looking forward to seeing the proper ones. I've anonymised the pics to protect the tier, high-speed/low drag, secret-squirrel operators in them. The vids are unlisted on YouTube but anyone with the link can view it so think before you share it. If anyone wants a pic or vid removed, let me know and I'll gladly oblige (no reason needed.) DTA challenge: Timed, unstable platform, arc: Russ doing a slick job swapping shoulders to defeat the wobble of the unstable platform: Link: (this link keeps disappearing?!) Quad: The eventual winner, halfway through the Quad stage: Barricade: Barricades: Quad from start to finish 1min: A fellow competitor and sponsor at the Hostage scenario: Firebird "bad-guy" positioned at top edge of a clay pigeon "hostage"-see diagram! Rupe and another shooter (can't see who) saving the hostage! Firebird one shot challenge: Pick two playing cards from a deck. Make ready but don't look through scope. From the moment you look through the scope, you have 90 seconds to find your corresponding cards on the far wall of the quarry and engage both cards with 5 rnds: The results are announced: Winner of the DTA challenge: Winner of the Firebird one-shot: ...and Overall winner, well done Mark: Thanks again to everyone, I'm looking forward to next time!

The_Dogge Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Looks like I missed another great course of fire. Well done, I love the playing card idea. Is that another Tikka T3 I see in the hands of the winner? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
