mole-e30 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Three forum members attended the UKBRA 100 yard benchrest comp at Diggle on Saturday Foxing2Nite, Woolley and myself Darrel and Andy were slugging it out against each other in the Factory sporter class, whilst I was up against the big boys in the custom rifle class. We were treated to the rare occurence of near perfect conditions, sunshine and light winds.... however due tot his rarely happening I think we were all pretty stunned and none of us shot totally spectacular groups..... Darrel got the small group of the say in the Factory class with 0.305" well done mate. Andy had a very respectable group of 0.326" The best I could manage in custom class was 0.276", good but not good enough for small group, see the results below. Interestingly in Match 4, the wind dropped to absolutely noting, which confused most people and we all did not know what to do :-) *** Can someone else come with a factory gun and beat Darrel, I think we are funding the Welsh economy with his prize money *** ONLY JOKING MATE Seriously though, come along and have a go, bring whatever you have next shoot is Saturday 19th June. In the end the results finished Factory sporter 1. Foxing2Night - Aggregate 0.6055" 2. Woolley - Aggregate 0.7167" Small Group - Foxing2Nite - 0.305" Custom Class 1. Ian Dixon - 0.2078" 2. Phil Sammons - 0.2849" 3. Bruce Lenton (ME) - 0.3167" Small Group - Eddie Robinson - 0.131" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxing2night Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Cheer,s Bruce, As always a bloody good day out,,, And some money aswell.. can,t be bad!!!!! As you said the wind was very calm, for the diggle that is unknown,,, And yes a lot of people did not know what to do??? Match four were the wind died down to nothing was when i shot my worst group of the day???? The lay out of the range has a lot to do with it??, I think that the wind swirls around in the middle and makes it blood hard to read,, If it were on a flat field then i think that there would of been loads of groups in the one,s,,, But this is the joy of shooting at the diggle,,,, Rob, The big shmidt is well to say the least it is fantastic,,,, Well capable of being used for benchrest, Easy to swap from one rifle to the other,,,, Come on boy,s this comp is well worth a day out,,,,, Darrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 No Brakes on heavy gun class Bruce. It rules my .338 out, thats why i just shoot it for fun, off the bipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Dave, you can run a brake at 1,000yd. I presume you'd want to use it at that range - .338 seems a bit overkill for 100! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mole-e30 Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Sorry Dave, forgot about that one, you are right...... But always good to come along for the crack and have a go...... I have never seen anyone turned away as such... Like you say you can always shoot it for fun. I enjoy competing against myself as much as competing against others.
