UKBRA 600 Yard BR 9th February 2014

[mole-e30]

Hi All

A quick report on another successful, but somewhat wet and wild UKBRA 600 Yard Benchrest shoot at Diggle.

Today it was Round 5 of our Winter 600 yard league and things are hotting up.

Last time we reported the weather was milder, today it was cold, windy and wet....... Flippers and snorkels were the best attire today.

The groups were not as large as some thought they were going to be, but some unfortunately did incur the dreaded penalty for shots blown off the target resulting in some 6 inch penalties flying around, but overall the mood was good and we all had fun as usual.

Our Swiss friend Benjamin made a "welcome" return, this time not offering a bloody sacrifice to the Benchrest Gods, but having to settle for a 3rd place in heavy gun.

There were some outstanding groups in all classes today in spite of the atrocious conditions, which caused the butts crew to consider the unthinkable prospect of possibly abandoning the shoot at one point in the morning as we just couldn't get the targets to stay on the backers for long enough for the shooters to take 5 shots at them, but in the end it was worth it.

So to the scores, well as usual the full results sheet is provided in the link below, but here is a summary and also the league so far as there is only 1 shoot left to go.
