Well - I thought 9.30ish for signing-on.

 

Incidentally, the long range forecast ain't looking too bad - could be sunny and 17 degrees!

You were doing enough 'blow outs' in the butts (pun intended) at the Flyshoot, so you will not need any help from a curry ,!!

[The Gun Pimp]

I hope you're giving that new rifle its first competitive outing on the gongs Les.

Hi Vince. Unfortunately I am in work that day as the bl**dy public love shopping apparently on bank holidays. I have asked if my shifts can be changed so I work Sunday and be off Monday but will not find out until Saturday. If I manage to be off on Monday then I will come down.

[Dooty]

After a spell in Christies last year with Bowel Cancer I will be there to support this worthy cause. See you Monday !!

[gunnery]

never met you Dooty but good on yer I would not wish that on any body see you there you will have a great day

[The Gun Pimp]

I would like to have four spotting scopes on the firing-point - I have two - can anyone bring one along please.

[Ronin]

I'll be bringing one.

[Hatzi]

I will bring my spotting scope too.

[MJR]

I can bring one along.

[The Gun Pimp]

Thank you gentlemen! Might also be a good opportunity to compare the various scopes - I currently have a Bushnell on loan from Edgar Bros.

Guys,

 

For those who haven't visited Diggle before - we always try and work in a lunch break and we have kitchen facilities - microwaves, kettle etc and sell crisps, choc bars but if you want something more substantial, bring along a sandwich or microwaveable meal.

 

See you Monday

 

Vince

[Hatzi]

Out of interest can we shoot prone off the concret floor or is it a benchrest event?

[The Gun Pimp]

I don't see a problem if anyone prefers to shoot prone.

[Helidave1]

Hi,

Doesn't look like I can make it tomorrow, I am off to Korea on Tuesday and I am behind getting everything ready.

 

Have a good one and I still hope to get up to Diggle at some point.

 

Cheers

David

[lambsey]

Good luck tomorrow everyone, please post the results.

[The Gun Pimp]

The gongs are swinging - we just need shooters now ...........

[Ronin]

See you in the morning Vince.

Thanks to Vince & everyone at Diggle for a cracking "new" event.

 

8" gong at 1000 yards in today's weather was interesting to say the least.

 

Hope to see it back on the calendar next year & hope it raised a few quid for a good cause.

 

[Dooty]

Thanks Vince and those at Diggle who organised this event, despite bad weather it was a good day spent with good people in aid of a worthy cause, hope to see your faces again soon,,, now where's that application form ??

dooty did you hit the gong 4 times?

[mole-e30]

Vince,

 

A fantastic day despite the weather and a worthwhile cause.

 

Let's make this a regular fixture on the calendar.

 

Great to meet people again, but my god those 8" gongs were hard to see, let alone hit in the weather today, but still great fun.

 

Cheers
