Make best of it Dave
coz in Marks imortal (should be mortal ) words. Your going down |
|
Oaky won, I came 5th.....
.... Don't know when or where the next shoot is, but need to get some SR under the belt I think... |
|
[gasps] .................... Not you surely????? [/gasps] |

.........I wouldn't like to say .......... |

I need some serious help I thought I had done okay, better than I actually did, don't know what went wrong, my result was shite!! Definately need some SR and decnt practice On X range today same rifle , same bullets, off hand I hit everything up to 400 metres fairly consistantly (A good trigger will be a good start although not a cure!!!!) Frustrated |
|

That's the main problem with PR, you have no idea what you did, whether right or wrong. A few spotting discs would help no end and actually make it a productive day. It would slow things down a bit, but I'd rather fire less shots for more info on my shooting. Matt |

I know Matt, totally agree We did get 2 spotters at the very start, but that was it. Honestly do not know where I went wrong. Bunny assasin RO'd me and the feed back he gave me and from what I observed was fairly encouraging. Every time you hit the target it was indicated by a slight twist. The only thing I can think is that I hit a lot, outside the scoring zone which was the face of the 14. That said Neil and the guys did a great job and it was a good day. I need to get my arse down to Bisley for some practice with you guys. Tighten my groups, take my time more Stu |

The target did indeed "flick" when hit, and many times did it flick.....
Unfortunately, the Fig 14 Huns head on a window background, where only hits on the head count, gives you (I would hazzard a guess) at 50 / 50 split between scoring zone and nowt.... At 400 that is quite a margin Take the lane to our left Pep, the mysterious Swiss cheese maker! He was riddling the scoring zone, but still lost one helluva lot to the "no score" zone.... I wouldn't kick yerself too hard, mate.... From what i saw you acquitted yourself very well.... I think that some feedback would have been useful, even if only after the comp is finished.... I would have gladly given C8 and D8 some feedback if I only knew who they were? Even if it was only.......... [shouts] OY, TWO ROUNDS ONLY PER EXPOSURE!!" [/shouts] |

£60 in petrol
£20 in entry fees £30 in ammo £30 in accomodation £10 in food That's 150 quid, and at the end of the day you leave the range having had absolutely no idea as to where your shots went What a way to encourage new blood and get the feedback so as you can learn from the experience and become a better shooter Mark |
|
I need some feedback, hence High power and SR looks like the best option for the rest of the season. It's no use throwing lead down range only to be told the score!!! |
|
|
Sound advice and noted. I am ditching PR for the rest of the year and going to concentrate on exactly the above. Stop being lazy and start reloading again but more importantly practice, practice and practice some more. (That said the Beckinham Charity shoot is hard to resist) Stu |
|

At last people are starting to say what I've been saying for the last few years. I haven't seriously shot PR for at least two years, and not at all this year yet. It just seemed a waste of my time and money, but occationally one feels the need to go and blat some knock down targets so I'll make the effort once in a while. |
|
|
To hear the previous responses......
Future PR comps might as well be limited to ETR ? With SR / HR making up the 'action' paper target aspect? The gap between the two, filled by the Blue Team and 'others' with thier TR (tactical rifle) type comps...? |
|
Mr. Paul, can you expand on the TR comps? the only Blue Team stuff I know of is more like SR. I'm assuming that TR includes scopes/bipods/small targets far away |
|
|
Traditionally the Blue Team matches have been designed for those using a long barrel 7.62mm rifle, like the rem 700.
There is not much positional shooting and most stages are prone off the bipod. A reflection on the Met's working practise............. |
|
And their inability to shoot any other position. I was with a load of firearms officers last night, they were showing us a shot gun only they (Police and military) are allowed - a 5-shot pump. They said they used OO buck and (banned and only allowed by police) slug. I asked what the slug was for and they said for taking down animals, such as rampaging cattle and anything that might escape from one of the many zoos in the county I didn't have the heart to tell him my Remington 1100 can have 13 slug rounds in the magazine. |
|
|
Shame you didnt have your shottie with you..... They'd probably figure that you were special forces with a 13 shot semi-auto..... |
||
|
If I remember correctly Matt was a Navy paratrooper.............................. |
|||
|
Scope-eye = VERY special forces Streetfighter = special NEEDS forces |

Think that's funny do you BTW Limey, I still have more Springfield stuff for you |
|||
|
My 'service' career is only half as long and distinguished as yours, Pep (or should I say 'Sir'?) |
|
The Royal Navy (not Royal Marines) do have a specialist Parachute Unit, they are all Submariners, but I have never seen the appeal of jumping out of a serviceable aircraft. Not sure if Matt qualifies as a Matlot.hinking.gif
|
|
Surely they would 'deploy' out of the torpedo tube? I've seen James Bond do it! |
|
|
Don't the SBS do tricky things with Subs, such as underwater evac.....sounds dodgy as hell to me.... |
