(ok it'll only be me laughing)
Perhaps a smack in the head might have done me some good

.
I'm back.The matches were really well run by Tim K and Keith.Well done fellas!
As for me and the western contingent...well...Rooster33 kicked some but in SR.The BCR team had a few "problems" ,shall we say,with some of those things that vaguely resembled rifles we were issued from a quebec regiment.
Fellas I'm not trying to make excuses but it was bad.When we asked our driver if they were good rifles that they gave us his exact words were,in broken english,"yeah they are the best ones.Never even been fired".Well perhaps they hadn't been fired...but I think they had been sent on every basic training since they were made in '83.The upper and lowers didn't even match and there was so much slop between them that I could see daylight.I tried to find the three best and believe me it wasn't good.I went through two rifles with my elcan on top that wouldn't shoot anything less than 10 inches at 100m.First time I've ever thrown a rifle.Well it had my scope on it so it was more like a little toss

Finally the first day came and I decided to borrow a rifle.Navyshooter was a huge help in giving me a loner rifle that actually could shoot.The problem was however that if I put my scope on I would have no zeros.So I went with his which seemed to be good to go.First match at 200m delib I smashed in a 49-5v.Good to go I thought!Next match was kneeling snap.Felt good and I was confident.Target comes up and has 1 hit on it.####!What the hell?No idea where they were going.200m rapid.2 sighters were on.target comes up with 4 hits.this time I figure out they were going high and right.Total score 20.200-100m rundown.I aim a foot low and right off the figure 12 and salvage a 44.Second match and I'm done.No chance of making up 80 some odd points.
that night I put on my scope and went and got a rough zero.Life was good again and I shot accordingly.Too little too late though.
I managed to win match 7 and get a gong for the reserves and the boys and I did manage to snatch the falling plates from the infantry
Nice trophy!
Sniper went well with me and Rooster33 teaming up.I belive we came in 3rd or 4th overall.Not bad.I managed to shoot a 45/50 at 800m in a 6 minute wind.Fun fun!
More later I'm late for work!
