Match Report: 

14 shooters enjoyed a dry day shooting the Mid Range Match on 200yrd Short Siberia. The day saw some good shooting but high scores were missed out by some due to cross lane shooting and failing to load correct amounts of rounds in magazine. It all comes down to practice and concentration in the end.

Match Report: 

Hi all,

Thanks to all who turned up on a very damp day, but bright day. Seven intrepid shooters, some regulars and some old faces back from deployment. Great to see you all. The shoot was a reduced distance match on Short Siberia, all shot at 200 yards.

Alibi Ali, again featured, if you have a jam you leave it ALONE, you dont try and clear it saying 'I have never seen that before' ( two rounds trying for the same hole....... off that)
To be fair I havent seen since the last time Ali did it !

Every one had a few horrors...misses due to the wind, misses due to poor timing ( ME ...I had 2 )

The light was fading towards the end, finishing the full 88 round match at 15.20 +/_

One thing I have noticed this year regarding attendance, we book 6 lanes but only use and pay for 2. We have a good relationship with the NRA but staff in the office are changing ....and may not remember the times when 'we put money in their pockets' even when they were well out of order ' ( Bob Hoskins , Long Good Friday...a classic) ...now where was I ...... basically if they were to enforce their charges we would be hugely out of pocket..... sooooooooooo USE IT OR LOSE IT :)

We could make some of the early fixtures next year....200 yards Highpower practice sessions ....maybe CSR practice too...particularly 100 standing....where we pooched it at the Metheun as an association.

Really relaxed, but we need to sort something out, otherwise Highpower will die a death, I have 2 children, 4 and 2, so I am in demand too .... do we focus on certain dates in spring and summer wher we try for maximumturn out and practice the rest of the time..... answers on a post card.

best regards

Morning was perfect will very little wind and bright skies. Afternoon brought a 8mph wind coming from the left to right, sometimes changing direction and being head on.
Match Report: 

Hi all,

I was not in charge so Dave will have to write the formal match account :) Great week end, good atmosphere in the Canadian, I really enjoyed see you all again.

Good results in the Match class with Bill Ellis winning on X count from Layne Chisholm, but both very good scores with 771 out of 800.

Elsewhere the wind and lack of practice caused some horrors. Steve Sheldon ending up top of the pack with 738, so a big well done to him..... Bob Wightman the 'old one' second, noisy as usual, but a good effort considering he was after a 'concession' due to his bad back to start from sitting, next time we will allow him to start from that position and disqualify him! :)

Ian Dixon was third, but lets move quickly on! Well done sporty.

best regards
