Blessington's a bit of a misnomer. It's off the Dowry between Manor Kilbride and Brittas. Apparently there used to be a very nice range in Blessington itself.

I've been wondering what club that is, I pass it on the way in to Killbride camp and spotted from the air there a while back.

Hopefully make it down anyway. Can't beat you if you're not there!

You might be interested to know your idea of the Unique buttplate on a Feinwerkbau isn't unprecedented. If I'm not mistaken, mister Debevec got there before you.

Shame you missed it; it was an interesting day. I personally had a bit of a mad shoot. First half was woeful, and couldn't settle at all on the first card. My first shot was the only ten on the whole damn thing and think it was a 170. I started badly after that with a 91, still settling, but finished with a 95, 97 and 94. The second diagram of the last card killed me. The first four went out in different directions, and I couldn't tell you why. Last shot went in and I couldn't have told you what I did differently. Ah well. I shot some great groups for the day, which is on the way to mission accomplished as far as I'm concerned, and if I can get settled down, I can do it fairly consistently, so it's just a case of performing in matches and long strings of shots without stumbling. We're getting there. Scores will go up on the Wilkinstown site in the next few days anyway, and maybe up here then.

Anyone any scores yet??;), infact who won etc?

No scores up anywhere, but from memory:

1st - Sean Baldwin - 580
2nd - Dave Cooney - 575
3rd - Mike Dunne - 574

From the WTSC website:

WTSC 50m Open

Sean Baldwin of the Defence Forces Shooting Team won the Wilkinstown 50m prone rifle shoot on the 5th of July held in Dublin Rifle Club with a score of 580. Second place went to Dave Cooney of the East Coast Shooting Club and third place was taken by Mike Dunne of Dublin University Rifle Club.

The match was well attended with 18 entries and scores were very respectable considering the tricky weather conditions. The class contest was decided with the 4 highest strings from each competitor counting and this produced some very close results with 2 class medals being divided on a 3 string countback! The 15 euro cash prize for each class winner was taken by Sean Baldwin, Daniel Fleming, Dave Cooney and Pavlina Mikova. Congratulations to all medal and prize winners.

A special thank you to J.K. Walsh and Alan Boothman of Dublin Rifle Club who greatly assisted W.T.S.C. in organising the event and also for the use of their shooting facilities. Thank you also to Dick Stapleton for acting as range officer for the entire day and to Dave Cullen of R.R.P.C. for his kind donation.

The mid-table shooters in particular produced some great shooting today. One competitor voluntarily upgraded himself into class B. This is a small indicator for the need of the classification system to be overhauled or updated by taking all outdoor scores as well as indoor results into consideration due to the improvement of many shooters.

Scores to follow shortly

It wasn't me!

Yep, countback across three strings to beat Al Boothman. Dave Cooney beat me again, but I likes my silver medal!
