The Gun Pimp Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hatzi - the first three in Custom Class and the winner of Factory Class got a special commemorative cap - but you can buy one for £10! Triggersqueezer - thanks for mentioning the forthcoming Gong Shoot at Diggle on August Bank Holiday Monday. A few asked about it yesterday - basically, we will be shooting steel gongs at 1000 yards. Shooters will get two attempts (one morning, one afternoon) involving ten shots at the gongs. There will be an unlimited sighting-in period before you shoot your gongs. It will be shot under cover from the 1000 yard benchrest range - any rests etc. No butts duty, so everyone on the point will ensure good craich. Entry fee will be a fiver and everyone is welcome. Two classes - Custom and Factory. If it goes well and gets good support this will become another Diggle 'regular' like the Egg Shoot and Fly Shoot.

Ronin Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've asked mole-e to post the full results of the Fly Shoot. Ronin - 3rd place shooter was using one of your rifles. Thats brilliant news Vince Look forwards to seeing the result sheet. Going to try and be there for the gong shoot. Hopefully work will not get in the way this time.

Laurie Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 got my fly patch patch yesterday-all guns and equipment for sale-my life is now complete Oh ... I was s-o-o-o tempted here, but have resisted and told Satan to get behind me! I have some pics of you fulfilling your destiny and completing your life's work Gary (plus various other UKVers). Only people in a couple of morning details, I'm afraid. Will provide a link to Photobucket or whatever when I've got an hour or two to sort them out and upload them.

foxing2night Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Good photos thanks for sharing Laurie ,, I thought that I seen Dave driving out as I was coming to the fly??, I got second place and a small group patch, But a bit miffed that I did not get a hat?? Never mind there is always next year,, Welldone to all the lads and lasses that shot, Darrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I can see these hats are going to be a BAD thing! OR ..... good from TGP's / PSSA's view in keeping entries up. 99% of people enter the 'Fly' hoping to nick the wee beastie - just making it slightly lame on one leg is enough - and get THE PATCH. Now, we'll have to keep up with the Bagsaws, Chambers, Evanses, Wrightons, Parkins and whoever in winning THE HAT as well. Vince, whatever you do don't get lots made and sell them or anything. Keep them exclusive for the VERY GOOD or the VERY LUCKY, just like the Fly patch! PS have you thought about a Gong patch for the August bank hol Monday's spectacular as brought to you by The Gun Pimp Productions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Excellent images Laurie, thanks for uploading them Dave, See at least three of my builds there this year. Good to see another excellent turn out and well done for the usual suspects for organising the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatzi Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 The hat is a better idea than the tshirts from the egg shoot which are frankly unwearable in any kind of mixed company unless you are a US marine or 'enthusiastic' bb gun airsoft fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted July 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 Vince, what sizes are the gongs???? And is it 10 shots in the morning and another 10 in the afternoon? The gongs are a massive eight-inches in diameter! Far bigger than the F Class V bull - just hope they aren't too easy to hit! The idea is that each shooter will have 10 gongs in the morning and 10 in the afternoon. And no butts marking!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
