11/6/21.  And so it begins - Alex and Stoof get things in motion for this month's Rifle Comp. 

On the face of it, there's not a huge gulf between their scores for this opening round but these things tend to tell later on.  With that said,  I'm sure this one'll be closely fought - Stoof will not let Alex rest on his laurels and Steve's due a win...

It's also interesting to note the rifles used here - a handmade Ripley AR4 and a very humble Weihrauch HW25.  Guns at two ends of the airgun spectrum and yet the scores are very similar, proving that it's skill not kit that counts

14/6/21.  Steve puts his first two cards in, an excellent 28 and a bittersweet 27 achieved with nine 3s in a row followed by a zero - enough to make a grown man cry into his martini. 

30/6/21.  Steve was due a win and not only does he get the Rifle top spot but the Open Pistol as well - good shooting Sir!

30/6/21

The Rules.

Any .177 rifle.

The range should be as near to 6 yards as possible.  A little under is ok as is a bit further if you need more distance for a scope to focus.

Only use the GARC pdf target sheets.

One shot per "bull" for a total of 10 per round.

Score the target yourself.

Completed entries to be photographed and emailed to garcweb@outlook.com.

Honesty is the key here so, after practicing, commit yourself to shooting an official entry then submit it warts 'n' all - no shooting a dozen sheets then entering the best!
