Oh,I'm so,so embarssed  :facepalm:

First round of the Horsham Summer Championship this morning,and I be been sulking,kicking things and generally grousing since I watched a pellet whizzing off past the target into distant woodland oblivion for my fourth( :cry: fourth :bnghd: ) donut of the round.

37x60 on what was supposed to be the easy HFT course. :bnghd: :bnghd: :bnghd: :bnghd: :bnghd:

I just seen the results,and I finished level pegging with the outgoing club chairman. I feel better. And I didn't come last.

Er,really don't know. Tony only did a 39( he had two donuts to my four),and seeing someone like Derek finish on 37 means it was more difficult than I gave it credit for :think: But:
1) ALLWAYS check zero after you've had the action out of the stock( which I did last weekend to re varnish the stock)
2) ALLWAYS go for a pee before you start. You just can't lie on two cups of tea :whistle:
3) ALLWAYS gave a Harribo every five targets,even if you don't think you want one

I know I burn a lot of calories when I'm shooting,and I've tried different solutions to keeping the energy levels up. Isotonic drinks kinda failed horribly,choccies melt far too easily,but Haribo Moabs are bang on the money. Tasty,stable and quick to metabolise  :tu:

Two very busy weeks,yeah :facepalm: It's an object lesson on just how important it is to be in your comfort zone. The night before,I'd fallen asleep on the train home. I'd even forgot to take the pump to fill my rifle :bnghd:

You're using a pump to fill your rifle?  I've never actually had the pleasure of trying that, I've only ever filled from dive bottles.

Yeah,I've never had a dive bottle. I'd used the club bottle,but I ended up with issues(which may have triggered the failure of the reg). The pump isn't that bad. When I'd started testing last autumn,I'd checked shot counts and POI at various pressures, so I can now fill straight to the sweet spot. Sounds strange,but I've lost faith in dive bottles,but feel confident in the pump because it's a mechanical device

Having missed getting to the range last week (family day out), I thought I'd make the time to go for a couple of rounds today.  First round was OK, but missed a few easy ones and gave myself a donut by not having a pellet in the breach. :doh:  Still a 47 was a good enough score. 

Having gotten my eye in on the first round I went out for round two.  The first six pegs are very exposed and there was a swirling breeze that makes life difficult, but there after I barely put a foot wrong and came home with a PB of 54. :woohoo:

Please don't make me talk about it,please don't make me talk about it :cry: :cry: :cry:

Last Sunday was the first round of the Sussex Interclub. It was traumatic

33x60

All I'm going to say is that at the end the were many,many shooters walking around shaking their heads. The pair in front of us,the dad was shooting 22 as well,he finished on an equally bemused 33. Tony struggled in on a 34 after air supply issues. Kim,from Buxtead how made up your third,finished on 42 rather than his usual 50 or so.

Just heart breaking :cry: :cry: :cry:
