Ronin Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well done to Triggersqueezer Thanks to Vince and Jeanette for an excellent day - the weather was superb too. Very well attended as usual, a few pics from the day: Waiting for a turn on the Egg Stiller 300 Winny on the right and my AX 6.5 x 47 on the left Egg Target with initials of where the fall of shot was....some very very close Nothing fantastic, my own gopher, pleased with the 300 (green) and 500 yard groups, no idea what happend at 100.(red). Though I need to re evaluate my drop table....for this rifle. It was a pretty tricky wind (as usual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jockey Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 That was some pretty impressive shooting Mike, considering the wind and bipod failure!! Great days shooting, thanks to all concerned, really enjoyed the day. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBirchall Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Well done to Triggersqueezer and my thanks to the organisers. My first time entering this comp and thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Swarovski1 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 What was the wind doing exactly, its looking a right to lefter going by reading the target, looks like g ja was only possible hit with the shot being bang on line just a little high, I had 4 cubs with consecutive shots at nearly 400yds last night, missed the last shot on the 5th one, had a job to see in the last light, wound the mag down and it was a small target if it was it, couldnt find it.

MJR Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yes another excellent comp. Thanks to Vince and Jeanette for ROing. Excellent shooting from Mike, very well done. What made the day for me was seeing the youngsters having a go, enjoying it and shooting well especially the young lady who shot the 300yd group. Everyone involved in that venture is to be congratulated, Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Pimp Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I know a few of UKVers like to know about who shot what etc. at the Egg Shoot. Here's the list of cartridges used: 308 - 14, 223 - 8, 6BR - 5, 6.5x47 - 4, 260 - 7, 65.-284 - 2, 243 - 2, 300WM - 1, 7mm (includes 284, 7-08 & SAUM) - 6. Here's what the top ten used - in order: 284, 7mm, 260, 6.5x47, 7mm, 243, 223, 300WM, 6.5-284, 308. Not much of a pattern there - except where are the 'sixes'? Small groups at 100 and 300yds were shot with a 284 and at 500 yds with a 260Rem. But, one of the Rascals shot a 0.336 incher at 100 yds with a 223 factory Savage! Really, the only thing we can say is probably what we already knew - almost any cartridge will do it, provided it is in the hands of a good shooter with an accurate rifle!

bradders Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I'll see your paltry 500yd egg shoot that no one hit and raise it by 730yds Nancy at the Midland Shooting Centre, Ireland "Today we had a clay and egg shoot from 1230 yards at the Midlands National Shooting Centre of Ireland. I hit a clay on my 6th shot and then 2 shots later I hit the egg. It was hard but a lot of fun." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Bet that was mag rested as well? Difference is the real egg shoot gets 1 shot at the egg...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 That would be Nancy Tomkins,NRA champion? I don't know how she would compare to the average CSR shooter,of course.Better bipedes,for sure. gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bald headed Geordie Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes, I've shot with her and Sherrri. Both are known to shoot Service Rifle with just a sling from time to time, you know....the proper way Slings? Is that something to do with the love of wearing bondage gear or perhaps an item you buy from those Ann Summers shops? :D PS. I used to shoot with just a sling and enjoyed it.

I used to shoot with just a sling and enjoyed it. Despite Goliath's fate,the sling alone is over-rated. A CSR,eg,has a distinct advantage. Some prefer an accurate rifle when there aren't any giants. There may even be both ( ie accurate CSR). But scriptures seem,at best,ambiguous. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
