As per another post, I missed the opportunity to shoot today as it was "Juniors Day". I would have liked to have a shoot but figured it's better to encourage new shooters than complain they stopped me shooting. There's always another day (mostly).

Yep. I didn't know that was the schedule. Their online calendar is a bit hard to decipher. I just decided to pop down as the weather was improving and I had nothing to do.

Yes, I would have liked a shoot as I haven't fired the Wildcat in sometime. Perhaps another day this week.

Springvale needs more benches to cater for generously sized shooters. There is no way I'm going to uncomfortably lay on a dirty mat to get sub-standard shots...I'd rather a bench.

Been a while since I posted on here. Built a new rifle and just starting load tuning.
Pretty happy so far at 700m. Shot a 60.3 before this but it wasn't as flat as these. Actually 2 different seating depths in this group so I'm stopping there and going to tweak the barrel tuner next. Conditions were fairly good, a slight tailwind blowing and flicking shots left and right.

OH MY GOD why did I shoot 900 yards yesterday :lol: :lol: :lol: What an ass kicking. 900 yards wind fishtailing down the range, then switching to a 9 o'clock at full strength. top score of the day in F class was a 50.3 but not by me, best I could do was only 50.1 Head down take a shot and look up and the flags were pointing the other way, oh well still a good training day. Not a keeper for the championship. Finished with a 95.2
