FBUK Southwest
Once again Ray, Huntervixen, and myself ventured out to Severnside, this time with the welcome addition of DaveT (who I believe is a member of severnside?) and Bnz41.
Weather couldn't have been better, nice and sunny with bugger all wind.
Some interesting firearms one the point, especially Huntervixens new Lithgow L1A1, Ray's Vz.58 (still very jealous of that) and Bnz41's M14.
We stuck to 100m from 10 till 2/3ish then move back to 200 mards (at which point I had to leave). Most of us were doing group testing for the majority of the shoot, John with his L1A1, me with my Carcano and No.5 and Bnz with his M14. Then it devolved into a more general plink with Ray and myself nailing 6" tiles (and then what remained of them thereafter).
Not many photos taken sadly, but this is what I have.

Didn't nkow you had the No. 5 with you...!

Great day out guys, really enjoyed it....new Lithgow L1A1 zeroed in, restocked 1903A4 hitting shipping in the estuary I think, (some fettling to do there in the mag well area), new Maltby No4, on target but forgot my foresight adjuster
Loved the No5 Dave, superb example, never get tired of shooting them
Lets get the next session in the diary...

Ah we were shooting at old wall tiles and I was being tongue in cheek.

Though the suicidal Pheasants wondering across the back stop nearly got taken out .... A hail of .308, .303 etc and they kept coming!
