Yeah that was the only chance I had against him !!! And to be fair he hit the target more using the 5 shot mag than I did with the 25 shot !!!

Yeah he loves the weekend and everything shooting related ... he loved the long range stuff too ....

You leave my mate Rob alone, hands that dirty built this country with blood sweat and tears. Show me a job Rob wont volunteer for, and more than likely make a bloody great result of too. Rob is an Englishmen who now has his onwn portable shed. I bet the rest of you real men ot there dont have a Kitchen sized Stihl saw in their utensil drawer!

 

Fruitloop I salute you, a real Englishman, a Gentleman and a man who gets the job DONE!

To right Robs a great chap and I won't hold being English against him.

Eye candy for Landy enthusiasts

Breakfast is coming - I think...


Tikka T3 22/250 and Remmy 700 .243


Him


And him


The young sniper. One of the best junior shots I have ever seen. Keep at it lad.


What's going on?


The firing line


It pays to advertise!


The quiet man - Nice to meet you


A gun


A blue gun


Concentration


The young sniper has had a hard day.


How a truck should look.


How mine looks...

That's when my camera told me it had run out of memory.

This was due to me not having emptied the memory before I left home.

Sorry the rest of you.

 

I think this was a fantastic weekend. The 'team' do an enormous amount of work to ensure that we all have an enjoyable time. Next year I think there needs to me a bigger effort to help lay things out and clear everything away afterwards. PW members should not all disappear after the shooting is done with but help clear the site.

 

A big curse to the idiot who put a bottle in the camp fire. A smaller curse to the several who put beer cans on the fire. They were all picked up later.

More litter around than I would have expected too. It was all cleared and the site had nothing worse than flattened grass when my son and I left the next morning.

 

Events like this are hard to come by. Shooting on a site like this with relaxed rules and common sense expected are rare in this day of Health and Safety. Thank you for this to Carl.

Organising a day like this, admin wise, takes a lot of effort. Thank you for this to Sparkie.

Providing hot water for almost 24 hours a day was pure genius. Thank you for this to Fruitloop. (And the banter and p*** taking).

Safety and self discipline in the shooting area was excellent. Thanks to all of you for this.

 

We really are a lucky lot of rifle enthusiasts to have these events offered to us.

 

Roll on 2016 Catton Park Rifle Shoot weekend.

Have to agree with all that you have said Grandalf, and after seeing those photos I feel I should hand over the title of "official photographer" to your capable self for next year.

You would have nicked more if you weren't too tight to buy proper ammo and had to keep hand racking the beast! :yes::lol:

Cheers for a great weekend to all concerned. Really liked the lay out, the targets and the simulated game shoot was just like the real thing - even down to getting birds directly overhead poached :lol:.

 

Not many events where you can shoot all day, met up with old friends, and make firm new ones over a few beers. Really appreciated.

 

Special thanks to Blunderbust for driving again and doing my share of the cooking Sunday morning :blush: , also to Flynny; mate, your help in finishing off that stubborn bottle of Bells was invaluable.

 

See you all again next year I hope. Since the old Enfield drew so much interest, the .740 front-stuffer may come out next...

Definitely coming on the 17th so will see you there!

Any chance I could put some target boards out at ranges so I can do some 'work' on me loads? I only have military ranges round me and they don't like expanding up them!
