Well, great session
.... long trip to go but good to see everyone ..... several not for the first time. We lucked out on weather too ... very pleasant. The expected rain tho made its appearance very kindly on my way home .. hate night driving in wet!!
Having looked at the group pic (below) .. I realize that in fact I cannot I/D about four people. I guess they were at the other end but I am sorry I did not greet them properly ... so much to do and of course only really so much time to do it in! Apolagies to them .... it was remiss of me. I hope you other guys will help add the necessary ID info and correct any of my errors too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So - first pic ... Norton, Spot and I shared lane #8 .. and managed to check out quite a lot. Here Norton was trying my L1A1... we had to compensate with sighting because it has a special rear sight but it's a FAL one, and it shoots low ... and other not yet received.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Norton and Spot again .... putting some 9mm's thru my PC9 . We all agree, it is a sweet shooter .. I added the red dot not too long ago and it's only a cheapie but ... that thing groups very well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soloman Short put some old .303 ammo thru this MkV Jungle carbine of mine .... tended to get slight hangfires now and again but ... it shoots quite well.... good fun gun. Here, he is struggling with the mag catch ... not helped by gloves!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RiffRaff (think I have that right!) is our newest THR member ... and was next to us on lane #9 .... he tried out my Hakim ... and apart from the rather ammoniacal stench of the old Turk ammo ... I think enjoyed it!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And finally .... the group for the day ... now as I said I screwed up not having properly met a few .. again sorry . I will add ''?'' for them and hope others will fill the gaps please. So we have from back row left to right ....
Norton, Spot77 (''?'', tho we did speak, he came with SlimJim), then LeadPumper, RiffRaff, ''?'', Anapex, ''?'' and SlimJim.
Front row - Chaim, Soloman Short, Girlwithagun (Mrs Anapex) and finally .. yeah .. had to sneak in didn't I ... self! Oldest person there (groan).

So - thx guys .. most enjoyable .... sorry I cluttered up the table with so much gear!!
Hope we'll do it again sometime but now summer gets nearer I expect it'll be later in the year next time . Too much biking and model flying to do ..... as well as shooting locally. Oh, and fit in some work - somewhere!!
