Wylie, happy to lend you one of mine next time your heading out to St Mary's. As an FYI Ali Newbury can sign PTA's as can Andrew, I got a CF & HC PTA signed this morning :clap:

Todays effort and my entry...
I shot a total of 8 groups and wasn't happy with the first 6 as I was having difficulty seeing the dead centre of the target. I put a couple patches on and an immediate improvement was seen. I used a Savage 93 R17, unknown brand 9x scope shooting Hornady 17gr VMAX ammo. For a cheapish packaged rifle it shoots reasonably well.

No luck with this. Christmas day wasn't bad but boxing day onwards has been cold, drizzly and blowing hard
