Looks like it was a great event.
Nah. Just a sub 12 fpe springer with a chest shot. They didn't battle too well. :wink: Probably co u ld find a gym to train in.

I hear the guy in lane 7, blue cap and the red vest is pretty serious about selling his BSA Goldstar to upgrade to an FT thoroughbred rifle. Pretty keen price so I understand. Send a PM and I'll point you in the right direction.

Ol55 absconded before the springer event. :(

If you could afford to buy the Goldie you wouldn't be worried about the price of the air rifle.
In my opinion the second or third most desirable motor bike of the era.

I think that is Royal Enfield, although now with a more modern engine to comply with global emissions rules. The older engine looked more fitting.

Well I must say I enjoyed myself immensly this year at the Nats -Saying that I don't know if the course is getting trickier or my shootings getting worse (probably both) but I do know I didn't knock over as many of those pesky metal critters as I would have liked to this year.

It certainly was great to catch with everyone and meet some new faces from the forum :D

I certainly ate well with Geoff's Malaysian Chicken Curry & Druid's Cornish Pasties as well as the lovely food put on by the Canteen. The event was very well run, great facilities at the club and the weather was kind.

The course was well laid out with some interesting targets and everyone had a big smile on their face...most of the time :lol:

i'll upload some pics later..
