Not to bad at all mate.

Just found out that I've been shooting with Grant Thomson for the last couple of weeks, seems he's a bit of a name up here. He's certainly a lot better than me.

I know,I still need to get this updated

It was Southern Hunters duty this morning at West London Rangers. Still waiting on the offical confirmation,as there was talk that one of the targets got pulled,but I scored 49x60. Very pleased as this equals my personal best in the SH series(4years ago!)

Man,am I ever glad I went back to my Ultra

Thank you Nate

I'm rather pleased with it myself! It's been five years of trying to reach that gold!

Last round of Horsham Winter champs today. Got beaten to crap by the wind,and crawled home on 35x60,but it was enough to get me second in class(and I believe 1st .22)

Smashie · **Reply #106 on:** February 24, 2015, 01:09:31 PM

An excellent result

Chako · **Reply #107 on:** February 24, 2015, 01:18:51 PM

Way to go Kirky!

Edit: Just curious, what is the fps of your air rifles that you compete with? Here in Canada, we are restricted to less than 500. Anything higher, than you need a firearms licence.

Well in the UK we are limited by muzzle energy not velocity, the limit on air rifles is 12ft/lbs (pistols are 6ft/lbs). My TX 200 runs 11.8 ft/lbs and with a 14.3 grain .22 pellet reaches 610fps (or there about). With an 8 grain pellet it would be 815 fps. Part of the reason I think limiting by velocity is a bit daft

Over 12 ft/lbs you need a FAC, I've got one of those but I'm quite happy with my 10/22's at the moment

kirk13 · **Reply #109 on:** February 24, 2015, 02:22:14 PM

Cheers guys

The Ultras running about 11.3ft/lbs on AirArm Fields,which gives me a margin of error if I'm crono'd with heavier pellets,or warm temperatures

Last round of the Nightshoots at Ham tonight

Can't decide if I'm happy or annoyed. Scored 29x30, overall win. I'm happy about that,but I'm hacked off at dropping the point. I could have cleared the course

Gareth · **Reply #111 on:** March 03, 2015, 12:20:07 AM

Well, I know I wouldn't be too disappointed, but I can see dropping just that single point might be a little frustrating.

I went back after the end and took it again...and bloody knocked it over

Joking aside,I'm very pleased with it as a result. The stubby man with stubby gun for the win

Penultimate round of Southern Hunters at Iden Ferns today. 44x60 and second in class. Could have been much better,but it was a new PB for Iden,and a damn sight better than last year record low of 27!
