Match Day – Womens 50m Prone Pairs & Badge Match

February 25th, 2010 by

Hey

Shot my first match today and i must comment it was nice to do so, i’ve really missed shooting.  Its been a long journey so far and i know theres going to be even more to come.

Anyhow back to the shooting, today was the womens 50m prone pairs and badge match something i have been able to compete in even with the knackered ankle.

Thanks to the technology the Sius Ascor targets provide heres my shooting!

Michelle’s Prone Badge Match

and thanks to Donald McIntosh (the Scottish Coach) heres some photos of me on the range and the range.

So my match;

Went ok, there were some times when i flicked the shots up at 12/1 o clock and paid the price but i was really happy with my performance to say that prone hasn’t been my focus for the last few weeks.

In the badge match i was a happy 5th, 1 point of 2nd/3rd and 2 off 1st.. but thats ok wtih me.

In the pairs match we were second by 1 point.

Right off to bed as we have the individual match tomorrow.

I willl be posting a more comprehesive account of my trip soon.

Nighty night!!
