I really shouldn't perpetuate the term hostage. They were "no shoot" targets hanging in front of, and partially covering a target for score... but lets just say more than one person decided dead men tell no tales and decided that the best bet was to simply hit all three - both no shoot targets and the target in the middle for score. :thumbsup: The eventual winner of open class did this as well! I thought they were a very harsh but entertaining target.Quote:

Looks like you guys had fun.
So regarding rimfire rifles, what were the top 3 shooting?
And in big bore, what were the winning combination ( rifle, calibre scope....)?
It was hard case. if YOU HIT THE CENTRE, THEN ALL THREE MOVED AND then of course the poor shooter was never going to get the benefit of the doubt. Cruel, but the only solution was to laugh. The whole shoot was all about fun and camaraderie after all. Bloody good value Gillie and Co'. :thumbsup:Quote:

Sure it doesn't need disputing? lol
I suspect we should be considering a bribe before we consider the dispute... :)
Maca49 will gladly pay---- for silence :D

A tricky prone shot that many would have been better off shooting sitting

I like the rain guard on the scope...

Rules for this stage were "no bipods" several people thought that also meant "no prone"

Yes we got wet... but we still had fun!

Senility is all I have to offer!:O_O:
Yep, ok if that is all the bribe is going to be then @Woody you definitely missed horribly. In fact, all evidence indicates you somehow managed to hit both "no shoot" targets with that miss...
:thumbsup:
Thanks Gillie Appreciated!! Nothing worse than these guys that think they can shoot!!:thumbsup:

Buy a Sako mate, I'll sell you my scope? And put my Vortex
Yup, I wasn't exactly tactical in my shooting decisions...lost another -10 points on the non contact (trying to be pc) target too... then dug in my heels and didn't want to score points on the big target at 600y, nope id rather miss the little target again and again....:D
Nothing wrong with my rifle, its the user who sucked :-)

after the weekend I concluded that my rifle is like my wife, when ever we go out together, one of us comes home grumpy, doesn't matter wether I am gentle or rough I just don't seem to get the result I want, they can both sit in the car for 4 hours drive home without saying a word but when you finally get home you know exactly how much you have disappointed them.
I think i lost as much points as i gained haha. More trigger time is on order.
Yep. More of these shoots is the order of the day I reckon.
Don't worry, I shot a field competition yesterday and made several stupid decisions but luckily they were pretty much all on the first stage. Didn't foul the barrel like I was allowed to do, didn't reset the windage from Tarata the previous weekend, then dawdled my way through the stage so the last couple of shots were rushed, clipped the very edge of the "no-shoot" target twice, dodgy trigger control didn't help either... and that one stage cost me the overall match win... my lack of practice making itself evident!Quote:

Yep. If everything was perfect all the time there would be no challenges and life would be very boring. Worse still, the inbuilt male gene that makes a bit of banter a lifestyle and fun necessity, would get very disgruntled. A man I have a lot of respect for once said to me; "mate, the man who hasn't made a mistake hasn't done anything."
Quite true Woody, but as I have been trying to win that trophy for a year or two now coming so close and to loose it on some really basic screw-ups on my part is a bitter pill to swallow. I was talking to someone over the weekend about some sports psychology - if something does go well you don't want to take that experience into the next event (i.e. negative thinking produces negative results) and so the easiest way to leave it behind you is to blame someone/something else. I struggle to believe this is what they teach professional sports people - no wonder some of them come across as arrogant as f$#k.
To rub salt in the wound is the fact the guy that won the event was using a 308... :oh noes:
Yeash. I checked my 30-06 yesterday. Now I am revising a certain load I experimented with in the wrong place---
Should've used the 308 :) and dealt with certainties but wtf; it doesn't matter because the entertainment more than compensated. Look forward to the next attempt ay.
The winners on the day generally did things better than the rest of us and provided they were honest, then they deserved to be there. :thumbsup:
Im really happy for an old bugger!! @Woody hahahaha
Ive a guy here that has never admitted being wrong or apologised in all the time ive known him, shifts the blame to someone else everytime.t guess that he has a small willy and that stops him manning up!! but its frustrating:wtfsmilie:Quote:
