lurcherboy Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm in I suppose I'd better come if only to spill tea over that nice lady in the snack bar and to watch LB eat meals that would keep your average pod of blue whales going for a week I did like the rifle shooting but seemed to be in a minority Either cartridges are a lot more expensive than I thought, or these new fangled guns break easily and are best kept for decoration, or you were all scared to go first in case everyone else was better at it than you and you might get laughed at.. or what? Snotty Good man Snotty :( We can do a synchronised tea spilling display if your up for it? LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snotty Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I prefered the rifles too Snotty and especially yours :( Aw shucks I'm slowly mastering that Baker. It's almost on paper at 100 yards but I have an occasional slow one that needs sorting out before I can join you on the 200 yard line best regards Snotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 i think the problem with the rifle shooting was that unlike clays there wasnt anyone to force you to shoot when it was your turn. And no-one could stop the banter i suspect those who went last year would have a slightly better idea of the limited amount of time, so prehaps the shyness would not be a problem so much. anyone else is welcome to stick some idea's down. I will be organising it around the 15th of this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 For me it was more of a meet and talk to other members type event, I can go to to the range anytime I want so I didn't feel the need to spank 100's of rounds down the range. It was/is also a great opertunity for people to try out your guns if they wanted - which a few people did. You could try and organise an optional competition, maybe in the afternoon(?) but that is more oragnising and as you found out on the day it was hard enough getting everyone to the clay range on time maybe something low key like hitting balloons, as it is a bit more visual? IMHO most members seemed pretty laid back, so if turned into any too formal they may be put off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted December 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 yeh, i did sort of organise a competition, but in the afternoon people were just as happy shooting at their own targets as any of the competition targets, so it didnt really work out. (which means i now have about 200 sod poodle targets..... thanks again snotty for printing them off even if we never used them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Early August'ish, maybe? it was the 5/6th this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 i will try and find out on the possible dates, but it verymuch depends on avalibility of the BSRC range (if we want to use it) and the harley weekend. If i can get these two on the same weekend then great. But i suspect it might not be possible. We will see will let you know soonish (next week or so) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunganick Posted December 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 we organise so far in advance so people can arrange holidays around it. It also should increase the chances of getting the range we are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
