Nice shooting just the same !

I thought they were meant to he 5 shot groups .....

Bugger Chappo I bet that ruined your day. Was it just the trigger squeezer or you think something else?

Is that a full sized fly target as well?

Is that a wind chart on the rest leg something?

It is 5 shots. Standard fly target and yes re wind chart. Yeah all me that fooked it up.

Yeah I fell in love with it years ago and only managed to get hold of it when the owner needed to offload it. Don't think I'll ever sell it. Paul read of Aussie rifle stocks did the stock work. The blank was done by the original owner and is a two piece laminated stringy bark wood. I have another blank exactly the same as the plan is to make a matching heavy gun to go with the light gun one day.

G'day all,
just threw out a heap of BR targets going back to '99 many looked like that!
100, 200, 300 or 500 and beyond, they all bust ya hard.........
Makes you wonder why you keep going back............s'pose to learn from your mistakes they tell me!
Thank gawd for all the nice people you meet along the way.
Cheerio Ned
