Our quieter members

Post by joseyclosey » Sun Jul 04, 2010 2:25 pm

A few of our MAH members are a little more reserved than myself so i thought i would post some pics of three of our readers who are little shy of posting.
These guys are all from NE England and we all got together at the latest range day at a 25m range today.
It pished down with rain all morning but turned lovely and sunny on the afternoon.

Here are the boys shooting my Kar88 with cast lead boolits........

First up bravo 24 (Paul) this may prompt him into his first post!!!

What a great looking range, and certainly beautiful scenery, reminds of where I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. Can you shoot pistols there, too?
But why are you wearing jackets, it's July!!

105 deg on my patio........................................again. :roll:

Vern, if we were allowed to own pistols we could shoot them there. Black powder arms are strictly verboten though due to fire risk.
The guys are still wearing their jackets as it was cool and wet on the morning and the sun had just put in an appearance when i took the snaps.
Temps in the afternoon were in the 70s, just about right for my comfort zone. :mrgreen:

Sorry Joe, that wasn't meant as a "dig" about you guys not owning pistols.
I just wasn't thinking about your gun laws, and it looks like it would be such a perfect pistol range.
Have promised Robert to behave better, I really wasn't trying to start anything. :oops:

@ bravo 24, welcome to MAH Paul ;)

@Lebel, New Mexico is way to hot for me! Forecast for next weekends airshow in Cambridge is 31C / 87F that is sizzling to me. I will just have to compensate by slurping a few pints of foaming ale. :D
