Mrs GTD Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Thanks for the choccies Ross. Do you mind if I save them until after my holiday? I'm on a diet, trying to get down to bikini weight 😳 Mrs GTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs GTD Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 F stands for Farquahson - the bloke who invented it. The size of the bull depends on the distance you shoot over. A 300 yd target is smaller than a 1000 yd target, but pro rata they are the same. Bl**dy hell! I really AM an anorak! Mrs GTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs GTD Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Bikini weight is somewhere between Roseanne Barr & Calista Flockhart 😬 Mrs GTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave hard Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 one of the reasons I so enjoyed rifle shooting was that it was sport where you got to lie down 😳 not been to a range in years though ☹️ Caterham 21 VHPD - one of the few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs GTD Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Absolutely. You can fit a tripod and telescopic sight to a standard 7.62. So are you a shooter, db? Mrs GTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs GTD Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 one of the reasons I so enjoyed rifle shooting was that it was sport where you got to lie down not been to a range in years though Why do you think I took it up? sadly you've just missed an open day at Bisley, but if I hear of another I'll post something, so anyone who fancies coming along and having a go can.

db Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Used to shoot small bore and pistols at college, until the Government banned one of my sports!

dave hard Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 used to be a reasonable small bore shot when at uni, and could normally hit what I aimed at with full bore and pistols. But that was like, um years ago most fun was a belt fed GPMG off a bipod 😬 although playing with plastic explosive was an educational experience as well Caterham 21 VHPD - one of the few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
