Mash67 Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 my lad Ollie who is 13 took part over 2 days of the imperial and one of the winter league, he had a little experience of shooting previous to taking the training course and getting his ssc . just a thought if any of you had a child or two interested in shooting.

baldie Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Here is the winning team from the Saturday night plate shoot on Pirbright ranges. PSSA "A" team , comprising of Ben Salford , Adi Newbury , Dave Wylde and Pete Russel. Won the fifth year on the trot by Diggle, and comprised of 4 runs including the final. Great fun. A truly fantastic week's shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Not using your Tubb T2K rifle Dave? Well done - always great to see Diggle members winning things! (All we need now is to hear from Bruce Lenton that the GB Bench Rest team, also mainly Diggle types, swept the boards in the European BR Championships this week.)

Shuggy Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Interesting to see the Brits now all using the new Lightweight Day Sight. Obviously the Omanis shot very well with their AUGs, but were you able to judge how the SA80s performed compared to the Diemacos and tricked-out M4s?

aam Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 bradders, Great pics, thank you for posting. If you don't mind me asking, with the civvie side of shooting. How did the blokes with bolt guns fare compared to the straight pull on the AR-15'S ? Any advantages or disadvantages between the two? Also were there any Aussie's present at the competition ( Military ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also were there any Aussie's present at the competition ( Military ) No Aussies this year.The only advantage any of the bolt guns possess is in the calibres available to them, and then it really only is marginal. While the top score in Practical Optic was shot with an aX in .260 Rem, the top score once again was shot by an AR in .223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Is it my eyesight, re the military medal winners being carried aloft - does muzzle awareness/manners not apply ? Thanks Having spent 6 months alongside military who were carrying guns, I can assure you that they have absolutely zero muzzle awareness. After a week I learnt to stop cringing. It seems that they place a lot of faith in the NSP (normal safety procedure). I think that it is a 7-point check to prove that the thing really is empty.
