Excellent day again with some impressive "stalking" rifles
cheers Dave and bear for another superb day

 

[Ratwhiskers]

Well, from the early rain shower that promised to dampen the day...... To the shower that turned up to sunshine and a decent breeze that kept the midge's at bay, here's how some of the motley crew performed.....

Chris Batty Shield.

1. R Gillespie 89/30/119
2. K Atkinson 90/29/119
3. I Butler 88/28/116
4. A Corney 88/28/116

The Pool Shoot

1. S Heaps 10/10/20
2. J Wolfe 10/9/19
3. J Grice 10/9/19
4. J Barnes 10/9/19
5. B Ridley/A Warwick/D White/ all shot a very respectable 10/8/18

Once more R Gillespie found the Key to HWH's "Frisky Whisky" store and liberated a bottle for the Raffle, which was won by M Bell.

I would like to thank Bear, K Atkinson and J Wolfe for assistance with the Pool Shoot and RO duties, and to all those kind souls who donated prizes towards the bottle and insult throwing event at the end of the day.

Wishing everyone well, and hoping to see you all on the 16th of August for the final bash of the year.

Ratty.

I fear I might have asked before, but a search fails to find...
Could you please describe the target/s and course of fire?

 

[stag1933]

12 shots total based on the BDS format.
Being 3 shots at 100 yards on the standard grouping target from a simulated high-seat and 3 shots also from here on the Roebuck target, 3 shots sitting or kneeling at 70 yards and 3 shots standing at 40 yards with use of a stick optional at 40 yards also on the Roebuck target.

HWH.

 

[Ratwhiskers]

As HWH has described, also........

The "Pool Shoot" is two shots.... 1 each, at 2 targets. And a three shot zero target, for those numpties that turn up to a DSC without a correctly zero'd rifle/scope... You'd be surprised how many turn up and dare not shoot the Comp before trying their rifles first

[Dalua]

Thanks Stag and Ratty - the scores make sense now!!

 

[stag1933]

Thanks Stag and Ratty - the scores make sense now!!

In the event of the two 119/120 tying for first place the 89-30 beats the 90-29 due to the smaller and therefore more difficult grouping target score.

HWH.
