    Was a good day with 25 shooters attending - weather was great but with very tricky wind.

    was a fun day and i think it will only get better. the wind is tricky there. Plenty of cool kit on the line too. reading some of the King of 2 mile info they havn't had a 338 hit at 2000yards in the comp yet so are now making it 375 and up. Had a few 338's hit at 2000m in the weekend.

    6.5 is where it's at!

    I’ll tell my mummy if you keep picking on me. Ha ha ha ha. Seriously though, one of the better demonstrations of consistent accuracy I have seen at long range was with a 6.5. And no it wasn’t you Beaker.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
