Bloody hell Joe, you never said those two buggers were joining the site as well, we have standards you know. Robert email me that member ban button.
Seriously though, welcome aboard gents, it was a pleasure shooting with you two on Saturday.
I hope that you both enjoy it here and post often.
Damon has a Enfield No1 restoration project on which I think is worth a photo post, so get that camera out mate and record the process.
Patrick left 5am this morning for his long haul to Albuquerque, safe journey Patrick.
He had to go home to warm up.

Made it home safe and sound and yes Adam I am now all warmed up ... LOL LOL.
I had a great time with Adam and his wife Kay ... It was so nice to see them again and spend time with them.
Adam kept me busy shooting the whole time ... Shooting .22LR ... twenty-two not Two-Two ... LOL LOL ... at two different indoor ranges, full bore at
Peatfell Range and Black Powder Shotgun Clay.
Where else in the world can you shoot in the turret of a Castle and listen to Adam tell long taled stories ... When I was a wee bit lad in the Highlands of Scotland .... Adam is the greatest social story teller of the clubs BTW and everyone listens though ... I guess it is his personality ... so lively and fun.
On the 15th I went with Joe Rough Shooting in the country side in search of pheasant and bunnies which were elusive but Joe did mange to make a weasel dance fo his life from the shotgun balst at him ... I never saw a weasel hop around so much trying to find that hole in the wall to escape from us ... It was great fun even though we did not get a thing.
I had a great time at Peatfall shooting with Adam, Joe, Dave. Serenity and kwakajack. I actually this time stayed warmer than the last time I was in England and was able to shoot pretty good with the Gew 98 and Enfield. I think everyone was impressed at how fast I can move that bolt left-handed.
At the Black Powder Shotgun Clay Adam won a super ugly trophy for the best muzzle-loading shooter at the Handicap Shoot breaking 24 birds ... I think he liked the Whiskey prize though ... I did pretty well breaking 20 with the Saint Etienne made cartridge shotgun ... I think it knew I liked French guns and wanted to make me do well with it. Joe did well with it as well.
I had a great time seeing everyone again and many thanks to Adam who let me stay with him again and putting up wit me.
Remember guys it is twenty-two and Lever Action ... two-two and under-lever ... uuughhhh .... LOL LOL.
