Congratulations Adam, that's a fine haul of medals from the meeting, are they uncomfortable on your pyjamas?
I shall be at Bisley for the Service Rifle on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but am unsure whether I can do the Historic Arms Meeting at the end of the week. If your going I don't have a hope in hell of winning anything!

Winning is the LAST thing you need to worry about, Strangely-Brown. I know, I've seen you shoot!
I have to say though that I agree with your sentiments regarding Adam's excellent shooting. Abandon hope all ye who enter a comp with him in it.
Fulton's must really have breathed magic onto your SMLE, Adam. All the No 1s that I've seen so far have been pretty inaccurate when compared with say a P14 or No 4 even at relatively short ranges.
What exactly did they do to 'regulate' a rifle? Does anyone know?
Congratulations anyway, Adam and best of luck in your comps too, Mick.

The Fulton regulated smle is a different animal than your standard smle they are hand picked fitted with a heavy profile target barrel and a set of aperture sights they are a very acurate rifle in the right hands.
Maybe Adam could poast some pics of the rifle he used if we ask him nicely.
