M99 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Not long got back home after a bloody fantastic shoot at Tiffs RRC. Most challenging and fun experience I have had with a rifle......hope it runs forever! Dave. Nice to put a name to a face! Cracking couple of days with a testing and well thought out layout! Not sure how I managed to come 2nd to Gav (I won't mention his clay shooting, sorry scaring! Though) I am sure by the time Tisme has altered the results though it will show him winning ;-) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash67 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Many thanks to Tiff for a great weekend, weather included, clays this time too so well done, Gents if you are reading this thread and have not been before it is a great weekend of shooting, very testing and a good laugh as well. we are however in danger of loosing this facility (if not already ), just not enough shooters turning up to make it worthwhile, so as the options in the UK are so limited if you see Tiff advertise again please take the time to give it a go, most long range field shooters will love it.

Tiff Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thank you to everyone who made the effort to attend and for such positive post shoot feedback. I’m really pleased it was so well received and I throughly enjoyed hosting the event. The weather throughout the three days was kind, with enough fickle wind to make it challenging but not impossible. All fourteen entrants arrived in time to check initial zero Friday afternoon and follow on with a spot of clay shooting till dusk (well clay scaring in Gav’s case...). The evening continued in the barns with a great venison BBQ (thanks again Rich), with much banter about the afternoons exploits and the challenge to come. Saturday started early with the first volley of fire not long after 08.15, with the looks of mild panic soon dissipating as people adjusted and relaxed into the challenging fast tempo shooting scenarios. The initial ‘Know Your Repeatable Limits’ allowed many people to find the true capabilities of themselves and their kit perhaps rather sooner than they may have intended. The following ‘Hide & Seek’ stage (playing card ID shooting) tested a few members eyesight as clubs and hearts were engaged instead of spades and diamonds… Later on the unknown distance 6” steel gongs proved challenging for many; hidden features (including two acres of ponds) and dead ground causing many to come unstuck, with ranging errors of +/- 75 yards commonplace. Following on, no one braved the A6 playing card at circa. 500 yards, but many had respectable groups on it’s larger A4 counterpart. The final stage before lunch ‘Waiting for the Hun’, saw Pete (Tisme) produce the truly spectacular 2" five round group in the middle of the Fig.14 at circa 500 yards. Even more impressive, since everyone had been alert and waiting for the whistle to shoot for several minutes (& multiple wind changes…) after the command ‘Standby’ had been given; at which point they all had only 60 seconds to fire all five rounds through the turbulent air to targets a few hundred feet below. After lunch mini clays at 200 yards were entertaining, with the pressure increasing on the shooter for every shot missed as their numbered clay remained standing amongst an every decreasing field. ‘Yoga Barricade’ loosened the muscles and joints, reminding a few that shooting doesn’t just occur at a bench or on the floor. Following on ‘Running Barricade’ got the blood flowing and Paddy should have received extra points for his enthusiastic skipping when he collected more rounds to continue the stage. The challenge day calumniated in ‘Out & Back’ with one round being fired at each 8 inch steel gong at 200, 275, 350, 500 & 640 yards on the way there and then reverse order on the way back in; all in four minutes. The evening was spent around the BBQ again, but not before hiking a kilometre or so away to set-up some IPSC steels on the far hillside for the following day (many thanks again). I think the tricky steep moorland terrain came as a bit of a shock to a few people from the alluvial plain regions of the country. Sunday was entertaining with lots going on and several people pushing the extreme limits of their rifles and achieving a few personal bests in the process. Pete (Tisme) again was straight on the money with a second (and possibly first) round hit on the 1,000 yard IPSC steel and Gav (Mildot) did rather better than reported on the 1,000 yard 9” melon…At the time splashes were seen around the edge of the small watermelon and it was assumed all but one were misses - however upon closer inspection in the evening there were six hits! Moving further back up the hillside the 12” square gong, IPSC steels and 8’x4' flat target rock took on a whole new appearance as tiny dots in the distance between 1,420-1,520 yards. There were a few good hits and many close misses - it’s a long way for a 6.5x47 and even further for a .308 win…The day was rounded off by a 100 yard watermelon vs. 285gr A-Max - instant fruit salad! I only returned late last night after packing up, so pictures and 'scores' will follow later today or tomorrow. Many thanks again to everyone who attended, your 'extra support' was greatly appreciated and if I can work a few things out I may even consider running one next year, but will have to see...

PCal Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Guys, really good to see that you all had a great time! I'm genuinely gutted I wasn't able to catch up with you all. I was thinking of you guys, having fun, while I was lugging more kit than I really needed up the n'th hill on Saturday. I only hope that there will be an opportunity in the future for us to get together and ring some more steel! (I shall be trying to persuade Tiff later on today....)
