A long winter
« on: March 30, 2025, 09:11:04 PM »
Had our first shoot of the year and had a lot of misfires and hangfires with the rainy damp weather. But certainly was good to get out and make some smoke. [ Invalid Attachment ]

Second shoot of the year. Very similar weather conditions. Once again rainy and damp, causing many misfires and hangfires. But still good to be alive and be able to make smoke again. [ Invalid Attachment ]

Looks like you cleared out all the campers and picnicers with your shooting.
Good job.

Well Kees, that's just an old 45 TC Hawken. Normally I don't shoot this one very good. After a little rough sledding at the beginning of the match, things went a little better than I suspected.
