I've seen the movies. The bad guys are always in the black vehicle. We'll be the good guys in the white one that don't need to hide their faces. Brilliant how the Thespians have to have everything colour coded.

Looked liked they just unbolted the gear from their old GQ and slapped it onto the new QU other than the bumpers.

@gadgetman take a few photos of the set up down there so we can all see what the range is like.

Well they're the ones that put superhero's in tights with undies on the outside. Full of Thespians and those bright colourful people.

Fantastic day out with @TimeRider for some aromatherapy. She's not the fastest onto the targets, but when she does she is unrelenting.

400m ring, ring, ring
600m ring, ring, ring
800m thud, 'aim for right edge, bit of breeze', ring, ring, ring
900m 'aim for right side again, ring, ring, ring
1000m wind on some windage, thud, ring, ring, thud, ring, ring.
Where's the next target? Couldn't. Find it in the scope at 1600m, will have to work on that.

I managed to eventually get out and ring the 800m gong a few times.

Pretty similar set up so us relative noobs, only our third time shooting targets over 100m, were familiar enough to get on with the job. The targets were at metric distances which was good since I'd put metric numbers in the app.

TR is keen to do a repeat.

One thing the Sparrowhawk range lacked today, that you had @BRADS, was the suppressor cooler.

These are all the permanents. There are a few temporary ones to put out. We’re going to add some smaller ones at some of the distances soon, aswell as some on the airstrip between 1000 and 1600

Thanks to you guys for coming out to day, you all seemed to get plenty of rounds off.

Great day out. @TimeRider the 1600 target is a bit hard to find . even harder to hit it turns out. where is your other photo @Cowboy06 ?
