Blair Atholl 7th May

#1 Post by Mike357 »

I'll be heading up to Blair Atholl on Saturday to watch the GB F Class guys in action. If Spud & 20series are going then give me a shout, should be easier for you to see me as I'll be there with Mrs 357 and if cold enough have a Dundee Rifle & Pistol Club Hoodie on!

Looking forward to some awesome shooting and putting names to faces! :D

The weather looked a bit ropey on the drive up to Blair Athol but it was dry, no mist and the wind didn't appear to strong. Greeted by 20series (nice to meet you :D ) and saw a few well known names and faces inc Mik Mak, Stuart Anslem, amongst others.

I think Mrs 357 secretly enjoyed the trip as well judging by the questions all the way home. :lol:

Glen Tilt has to be one of the most picturesque ranges in the UK if not Europe. Some pictures below

View from 1100yd Firing Point, impressive or what?

And the 1000yd FP

And the all important tea and coffee stall

That looks like a lovely range and the weather looks good as well, we had everything from heavy rain to high temperatures with difficult wind and mirage today and that was in Middle England!

I look forward to reading the range reports from the guys next week.
