Hey Joe
Glad you decided to give our team the slightly higher score.
However, still to all intent and purposes blind in my shooting eye. Have high hopes for a recovery before the contest ends though.

Looks like too much kissing and not enough practice I am afraid my Captain. In mitigation I only fired 5 sighter's and we did not alter the sites - but its still RUBBISH.
(Crawls off to corner of trench and commits Hari Kari - misses! )

Duncan,
well done. Note - you are the only one to shoot prone unsupported - the rest of us used either bench or trench. I strongly suspect that without a bench my score wouldn't be much to write home about.
Besides you can always blame that swiss rubbish you were shooting. Widely known to be totally inaccurate.
Now my next cunning plan is this -
You change your name to 'DuncinNZ', I change my location to New Guinea and we re-enter the contest as Team Roo Shaggers.
