Recommended Posts

A couple of Events could be impacted by flooding at Bisley this weekend. The NRA are holding a CSR Winter League Match on Saturday on Century and the GBPRA are holding a PR1 Training Event with the support of the NRA and AI according to their website.

Looks a bit wet, will these events go ahead?

300 yard firing points were closed on Wednesday; 200 and 600 were very squishy underfoot.

I'm glad it could still go ahead..

We all know the disappointment of not being to do something you look forward to doing..

Them firing point soon get mashed up with 10 or 15 members on the points let alone 100 or more that were turning up before Bradders left us..

The conditions were nowhere near as bad as I anticipated, firing points no muddier than normal, business as usual.....including my crap shooting

I Guess this depends on what firing point you were on.

we were on the firing point 70 - 74 at some points we were well deep in bog not mud BOG 

Still fun though

It took 15 years to get from 24 to 30 to the current 100+.

We were in the mid 50 lanes and it wasn't bad at all, maybe a side step here and there on the run downs but, as you said, still fun

The drainage along by the target frames goes through a culvert around lane 80'ish. The top cover collapsed, blocking the culvert and causing it to back up.

The culvert has been cleared and everything is back to normal in the butts today.
