The eejit. Five rounds is too much anyway, one or two would be enough unless he'd just scrubbed the barrel before the last shot (and that's a bad idea just before a match as well). So he fouls his barrel with the cheap stuff, then fires other stuff through it, which changes the fouling pattern over time and gives inconsistent results.I know a guy who saves money by warming his barrel with 5 rounds of Eley Cheap (forget the proper name!) before using his Match EPS.
Won't fire 5 rounds of the good stuff into the bank!!
Match EPS is what, 15 cents per round? Cheap eley is about 10 cents. So for 25 cents saved, he risks losing a few points and throwing the match. After spending what, 15 euro or so on entry fees. And that's not counting the cost of the petrol to get to the match, the cost of the time to train for and shoot the match, the cost of the kit he's shooting with, his licence, his insurance, his membership fee....
Seriously, sometimes I think Irish shooters have a problem with doing a cost-benefit analysis

I forgot to add my congratulations to Conor for an extremely good result. Although conditions weren't windy, the constant light changes were very testing and many competitors reported fliers as a result.
Keep up the good work Conor. As others have said, it might be worth your while moving up to Tenex for the Nationals. If you need some for the day, I have some that you'd be welcome to if you wanted. At a price of course 0 -

Cool, thanks. I'll certainly consider it.0 -

If anyone gets a crossfire on Sunday, stick your hand up. It's far easier to deal with when it's just been fired rather than later.
Although we still can pick them up either way.
At the Munich shoot, two shots hit my target 0.7 seconds apart :eek:
I didn't spot it until about 4 shots later, but I *do* know who did it. 0 -

I was told the opposite - the RO gave out to me for putting my hand up and saying it. Was told to wait until the detail is over.0 -

Technically speaking it's easier to sort at the time. If you know how 0 -
