Totally behind in posts

So let's catch up.

When last we met our intrepid adventurer he was a member of the team selected to shoot against the RAF team at the Purbright military ranges near Bisley. A prospect of rain was realized during the shoot but didn't affect my matches.

We shot at 300 and 500 yds. I had only four hours of sleep - returning my rented (two) pints kept me up until 2am the night before and we had an early start for the day. Let's just say it was a more miserable team shoot (with an accompanying performance) than I've had in the last two years (a 69 and a 67 - each out of 75). International standard, at which I'm expected to shoot should be at least 73 or 74. Conditions were tough but my groups on the target were both large in width and height.

Post-match analysis showed me that it was just something I have to put behind me (realizing that jetlag and lack of a decent night's sleep both contributed). After a pep talk from good friend Ian Robertson, I decided it was best to just put it behind me.
