Swarland Range Today.

[RSVNelly 518]

Had a great day today at Swarland, even though the weather took a bit of a turn. I just want to say a massive thanks to Jimmy & Shaun for taking time out of their shooting to take me back to school. I've started on a massive learning curve but can't wait.

I've zeroed my R10 up 50 meters and have also shot several different rifle types, a brilliant learning day.

I just want to say thank you again fellas, it was great to meet you both and great shooting as well ??????????

tx200 22

 

tx200 177

 

pro sport 22

 

and the stroeger 177 open sites (no scope

 

and shot them well by the way out to 60mtrs

 

nice to meet you to bud all ways nice to put a face to a name

 

lads he was hitting spinners out to 50and 60mtrs with ease

 

he was show,n by viz about eye re-leaf and how to zero the scope before he was even to shoot his r10 and about mill dots and distance and how to control his breathing

 

once sorted he was on his way he is a cracking shot and after a few more practice sessions he may even get an invite to one of our perms .

 

A,nice lad fellas and he listened to all we had to say about shooting and how to go about it iv got no hesitation about inviting him to our perms once he has fine tuned his shooting skills and with mine and viz,s help that will not be long .

after Nelly left a kid and his dad came on to the range with springers that they had higher,d from the range owner and viz set about zeroing them for them

 

while he was doing that i let the kid have a go of the hw100

 

and he ended up hitting every thing with it ,he say,d to his dad its a sniper rifle lol

 

his dad ask,d how much would that set up set me back

Well done lads

I always thought that grooming was supposed to be a bit sordid, what have I being missing ??

It doesn't get sordid till later on. At the moment it's all "Hold it like that. Put your hand there. Grip it gently. Squeeze don't pull." etc.

 

Just wait....
