Thank you to all that turned up to the may shoot, At the start of the day it looked like it was going to be a wash out after very heavy rain all through the night but the sun gods looked down on us again and what a cracking day it turned out to be.
New for this shoot was the woodland walk and lots of you took your turns on entering the unknown to locate and shoot at the targets placed through the wood. Every one seemed to enjoy this althrough it did take over an hour to walk and shoot the course.
The rest of the targets were all set out over the valley and the metal targets getting a right good going over with one person admiting to firing over 230 rounds and coming away very happy.
I have had some good feed back again and its good to see so many from the site returning to shoot. Its a pleasure to meet and chat to all of you.
Some of the photos are below but I appear to of lost some off the camera so if any of you managed to take a few it would be good to see them.

see you all June 19th (Fathers Day)

Carl

Hi Carl
I must thank you for organising such a great day out
I hav never been on a day like this ever and found it great fun and very relaxed
which was down to your hard work,
I also met a few other nice fellow shooters who were in the same mind set as the group I was shooting with
The woodland stalk was a great teaching aid with lots of varied targets and obstructions to think about before pulling the trigger with lots of different aim points to choose from
very enjoyable
I also took a few pics along the way

Highlights of the day for me
Shaun's double burger with extra onion and cheese.... Bargain:D
The company of Guys I shot with made it even more of a great day
and shooting the fox target on the long range , 365yards I think it was ranged at off sticks in that wind
A real good day and also a pleasure to meet you, hopefully will be there again in June:thumb:
 
again a great day testing targets liked the woodland set up (maybe sneek one or two un marked targets in:norty: )every one friendly and informative great job well done:tiphat:
 
Thanks for the comments from Stone and neil b. Great photos will have to set you on as cheif photographer . Will hide a couple of targets next time in the wood that would be interesting to see how many can find them (GOOD IDEA). :stir:
Will pass on the comments to Shaun about the food.
Good to see you all and hope to see you soon
next one June 19th then July 17th :D

I couldn't make it this time, but my mate went and said it was superb! Looking forward to the next chance to go... cheers!
 
Just a quick note to all who are coming to the June shoot. There is a large horse event on at the same time as the shoot but in a different area so please follow the signs to the RIFLE SHOOT as pulling your weapon out infront of a load of ladies in riding gear may well offend...............;)
The shoot is in the same area as previous shoots.
