The morning match run and shoot times are really quite generous with 90 secs to get to the point and fire ten rounds, you could almost walk and still get all your rounds off. In the afternoon you will have to run a little bit faster if you don't want to miss any target exposures.

I'll be there, who else?
I'll also be there for HP on Saturday.
| Seriously I need to sort out my shooting with a bit more range time. Not shot that good in the last couple of comps and not confident with my come-ups anymore. I've got a club day Saturday and we will be starting at a 100 and working back up to 600. See you all at the January CSR? |

Looking forward to having a go next year. |
Yep |
I've got it. Actually there is a tie break procedure, done on the right hand target but as we've both got the same number of hits on both targets then I've decided that I'll keep the medal until the next CSR when you can have a look at it in the car park. Actually Martin Farnan will need to get another gold made up because we are both entitled. |
