Creedmoor 2015 (Emerald Shoot)

26-03-2015 12:52PM#1Just thought i'd share this with you all. It's a video from the entire week of the Creedmoor back in 2011. With the Creedmoor once again being shot in Ireland this year i thought i'd give everyone an idea of what is involved in the match, it's history and more importantly to those interested in F-Class the sport itself.
It's interesting to hear all the comments from the Americans about how difficult the range is with some saying it was one of the hardest ranges they've shot on in terms of calling the wind.
Also a big thanks to Martin McCann who worked on this over the entire week and for months after getting interviews, etc from all those involved.
Enjoy.

Good first day.
The wind was subtle in the morning but really got up by early afternoon. Made for some really tricky shooting in the late afternoon. The dust did no one any favours and for once a short shower of rain would have been welcome.
Got scolded again even though there was no sun. Lesson well and truly learned.

First day of the Creedmoor today. The day began with Mr John Sigler firing the traditional opening shot, this time with a "Howth" Mauser.
The rifle is a Mauser Model 1871. The name, "Howth Mauser", comes from the rifle having been smuggled in via Howth Harbour back in 1914.
Onto the comp. Conditions were tricky at first and quite hard towards the end of the day. Both teams seemed to cope well and the wind coaches had their work cut out for them. After a long day i never got the scores, but will update as soon as i can (possibly tomorrow).
A few pictures of the teams on the firing line.
And of course Tony "on patrol" (:D) on the firing line
Lastly, and by no means least (yet somewhat off topic) if you positively, absolutely have to arrive in style. Accept no substitutes:Forum Charter - Useful Information - Photo thread: Hardware - Ranges by County - Hunting Laws/Important threads - Upcoming Events - RFDs by County
