DW58 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Well done all and I certainly agree with you about the range, but what a glorious place. What was the course of fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Nice to see Brad take first place. Hellish tricky range to shoot, well done to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Nice to see Brad take first place. Hellish tricky range to shoot, well done to all. It was a benign day and the rain stayed off. Bradley and Stephen shot very well, but the std seemed to have gone up from 2013 with I think 6 flies being hit at 400 yds. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards JCS Thoroughly enjoyed the day, and got myself a nicely embroidered cap for hitting the fly! Very fortunate with the weather, would have been pretty miserable if we had the rain/midges that we got after finishing up during the day instead! Looking forward to next year.....

longbow3 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 The course of fire was: All taken from the prone position 100 yards- 5 shots at circles(stoats) that decrease in size 5 shots off the elbows at the black roe deer silhouette with invisible scoring rings 200 yards- 3 shots at a 3 inch square box 5 shots at the black silhouette roe deer again 300 yards- 2 shots at a very small crow target. Jay/Jackdaw size 5 shots at scoring rings 400 yards- 5 shots at scoring rings with Fly bull. Trickiest target of the day was probably the 300 yard crow, where a slight cross wind came into play, the 400 was more straight forward than normal with a fairly predictable tail wind. Any one interested in taking part next year? get in touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v-max Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Hi yes I shot very poor or that's how I felt. It doesn't help to find I was 3/ 4" out at the start so lost points straight off & I seriously need to practice with no rear bag & off my elbows. The one good thing was I did hit the fly at 400yrs this year as I missed it last year by 1/4" so a hit was what I really wanted to hit this year & done it. I also noticed a lot of PM2 scopes this year among the set ups. It's got me wanting one even more no as I like schmidt scopes but I can't complain on my nightforce scopes to a point.

sauer Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Was my first ever foray into shooting over 100 yds & dialling in Got told on the Monday afore so panic to load & test a load of target ammo Then make up a heap & check em again Then out to 400yds after downloading bullet flight onto my phone Then shown roughly what to do I did say if I'm last then fair enough anything else a bonus 28th out of 36 I think there was on my 1st outing I'm happy .....ish I fluffed up the 100 & 200 yd stages afore I realized rifle was 3/4" low from start despite checking g night before Once figured that out I did better on 300 & 400 yd ..... Missed the fly by 1/2" Enjoyed it ..... Loved seeing some of the rifles on show .. But know I could have done better I can see now how addictive this mid & long range stuff can get Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longbow3 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2014 You are able to use bipod or sandbag(bring your own) for all the elements except obviously for the "off the elbows" at the 100 metres. Mike is hoping to increase the number of teams for next year, we probably have the capacity to go up to 16 teams. We have already had a couple of this years teams asking if they can bring 2 teams next year!! Nearly everyone brought a bottle or a prize with them and I think I am right in saying that everyone left with a prize this year. The team from London shot for the first time and even produced a handful of prizes when they arrived. we are very grateful for their generosity and commitment to take part despite the obvious distance. We also held a raffle consisting of 10 prizes and made £230 for the Gamekeepers Welfare Trust That's how generous we scots are. Please be aware of the following rule for next year: Anyone interested in taking part next year should firstly make contact with event organiser Mike Ritchie mikeritchie01@aol.co.uk. Then to book your place you will be required to pay a 50% deposit directly to the SGA office in Perth by the 30th June 2015. This change is to aid registration and verifying membership/insurance status of all participants For those of you who are not members of the SGA(shame on you) you must ensure that you provide valid proof of insurance. i.e Basc/BDS membership Failure to do so will mean you cant take part.
