Holly and Ian were sitting at the plinking range today shooting at the pigeon at 55 yards. One knocked the head down and the other knocking the head up. I suggested trying it standing up which Holly was all up for. After a about 3 shots Holly shot the head down and said it would be harder to hit it back up. Well - after 2 shots my good old FTP900 found the spot and I think it was the first time I’ve seen Holly stuffed for words although “that was a lucky shot” was finally uttered.
Yes - maybe I was fortunate but I felt it was an achievement that had me smiling all the way home.
I 've not really been trying that hard as I don't want to upset you by hitting it again. I hate to see an old FT shooter cry.
Steve has been striving to replicate that shot ever since . don't hold your breath folks ??? HOLLY
Notice ?
Next thursday is the standing champs of the IOW . who will be the winner ? will it be Dodgy Steve Heard , or honest Holly . roll up roll up ??? HOLLY
I think it’s being with Holly and Melv thats ageing me!
Well OK Steve , not a bad shot for a youngun like your self ??? HOLLY
LUCK ? What’s all this talk of luck. I aimed for the target and got it within 2 shots. Luck is when you turn your back on the target put the rifle over your shoulder and shoot in the general direction of the target. If the target goes down/up then that’s what you call lucky.
But if it’s regarded as luck then I’ll take that as it made my day. Apart from shots like this that makes you happy it’s being with some good fellow members enjoying a good few hours shooting and having a few laughs.
Not Speechless Bazza , just pondering how i could get some of that luck for the winter league ??? HOLLY
Well done Steve, wish I could have seen a speechless Holly, didn't think there was such a thing!
Steve don't bother to do the lottery this week . cos you have used all your luck for a month ??? HOLLY
