The shoots will be broken up into a four different disciplines. They are:

• Centrefire Pistol Bullseye

I've never done this, but have heard great things.

What style targets are you shooting at?

extremetaz

Looks like a PL6 to me, certainly not far off it. Pretty standard 50m black and white target with a REALLY BIG 10 ring. Makes you feel great about yourself altogether!

The both of you should come out - great craic!

You remember the target i got you to shoot when i met you at the Midlands? The large single target one that covered the entire sheet? That one.

We just use centre pasters rather than new sheets each time.

Its great fun, and a little more challenging than you'd expect. Should come along to one and give it a bash.

Sounds good fun - I'll check the calendar

Just back in from the range and what a day. An excellent turn out for the first shoot of the year.

Good to see some regular faces i haven't seen in a while and great to see new faces too. I hope the lads that had their first shoot enjoyed the day.

The weather held up well and it was a bit cold but dry. There seemed to be an even higher standard with some of the Gallery lads coming along which helps encourage competition and push up standards.

Have to say i thoroughly enjoyed the day, the chat and the craic.


One thing to note, and i'll keep ye all updated as i get it. The calendar for the year is going to be changed. To allow for people that cannot make Sundays we are going to reshuffle the calendar so as to alternate shoots from Saturdays to Sundays. They may not be concurrent (IOW Saturday, Sunday, Saturday, Sunday, etc, etc). but it'll give people that find Sundays awkward a chance to take part this year.


Already looking forward to the next one. hope to see you all on the firing line again.
