Good English weather for today’s shoot with drizzly rain and an awkward fishtailing wind, but good fun anyway.
The RO Davie light rimfire (scope at 6.5x) produced some good scores in trying conditions: Ben G 485/500, Tony H 473, Peter J 468, Vanessa S 460. I should point out that this is Vanessa’s best ever score, including for the heavy benchrest events. Well done!
Despite the conditions there were some cracking 3-shot groups in the 100 yard centrefire and all under 1MOA: Tony H 4.7mm (new Club record), Ben G 6.8mm, Alan C 6.9mm, John H 13.2mm, Derek B 22.0mm.
Groups at the 200 yard targets opened up a bit in the windy conditions, but all managed to achieve under 1 MOA: Ben G 24.4mm, John H 45.1mm, Tony H 49.3mm.
Our next shoot is Sunday 2 August with the second round of the Field Rifle, together with Ladies’ and Juniors matches. See you there!
