Are the HRA Nationals still on the 1st-2nd October? Doubt I will get a pass to go shooting two weekends in a row. (or have the money for it)

Remember guys, the Kemble has been cancelled so the South-East PR is the only ETR game in town this year.

An email went out saying that given it's proximity to Bisley Live a decision had been made to cancel.
Will forward you the email.
I thought it was common knowledge. Sorry

Want to play but have just come back from holiday and about to fork out over £1000 on car insurance and £300 on a new exhaust.

Skint isn't the word and it would be an expenive trip for me.

£100 fuel, + overnight accomodation + Food and drink + ammo + entry fees.   Normally I'd be up for it but this time I'm going to have to cry off I think.

Mrs would have hair like Don King if I went on this one.

Not much to review really.... did some target shooting, and worked on my sling technique (badly needed)

Spent a lot of time with Mrs and Mini-AF on days out.... it was a family holiday after all.   Would definitely go back there.... lovely people and the facilities were great for shooing.

Max Range was 100 yds but it was fun with reduced targets.  Had a go on the turning targets and played at mini-rifle with a couple opf the guys there.  Great fun.

Great place though, but they were a bit shady about the noise issue.  The range is mainly used by prone .22LR target Rilfe shooters, so rocking up with 3 AR15's raised a few eyebrows, but most people were extremely friendly and keen to know more. .223 did cause a bit of a noise issue though, more though concern by the owners for a neighbour who owns a particularly nervous doggy with a loose bowl condition.

Thanks for the tip off RN Sub.  We had a great time and

I have deciphered what you were trying to say (You're going to lose), and it really doesn't matter.
I'm just going to have fun. I can't shoot too well on ETR these days anyhow

If you have the extraction sorted out, you will have a lot of fun, because they are, but you will have
a tired left arm, they are heavy on cocking, but out to 300, surprisingly accurate, enjoy !!!!

Not long now

Seems like a good way of using up the batch of 'variable' RG I was using at this year's Imperial.

Weather forecast says temperature in the low 20s with sun and showers.

Looking on the bright side at least there's no running involved.

Roll on Saturday...

Yes, an excellent day's shooting.
Well done Fred, Matt and the others who ran the show today.

Also well played to Steve for having the balls to play with iron sights.

Hope to see you all at the first CSR match in a couple of weeks.

Yes, thanks for that Mark, however I seemed to have returned the favour at times.

Full results will be sent out as soon as Fred gets back from being a weekend warrior as he has all the email addresses.
However, overall results are below, a few minor changes to totals (3 actually, my mental arithmetic must be getting better) but nothing to alter the overall standings.
Thanks all for coming, 27 in total 'braved' the excellent September weather (although I hear the wind was a bit tricky at 600m).

Personal things to take away from this match, I was reminded of a few home truths;

  • my rifle still shoots better than me

  • keep to the targets in your own lane is the way to score better and

  • don't let your son load magazines for you
