As tempting as it is to ask if it was Yorrick...

Well shot Sir! :cheers:

If you don't mind me asking - Is that the same type of rifle as PaulR's? And, assuming it's .223 (?), how are they out to 600 yards?

Don't know anything about PaulR but mine is a 7.62and it's excellent out to 600. Today at 500 I was managing to keep the shots around 0.5-1 moa. (using scope, bipod and 175gn bergers @ 2550 fps.)

Couple of pictures from yesterday.

Looking back toward the 200m point during a lull in proceedings.

Great club - took a mate down for his first club shoot on Sunday and he really enjoyed himself and is looking forward to the next one.
