Munich – Match 2: What a start!

January 30th, 2010 by

Bloody first shot nerves got me again today!  First shot a cracking 8.9 up at 10 o clock.  Its defiantly an area I need to work on however it will be much easier to train on this issue once my Meyton arrives I was on a different firing point as expected today and had a [...]

Munich – Match 1!

January 29th, 2010 by

Today saw my first match of this competition which had a number of funny events for me! Once again there was another total lack of consideration this morning from the same person! My match was at 10:05 this morning so I took a trip down to the range at 830 after a nice light breakfast [...]

Munich – Training Day

January 27th, 2010 by

Today we’ve had a nice late start followed by training in the afternoon.  As the range was quiet full I decided to go through equipment control.  Its always nice to see some friendly faces especially on the side of the Jury!  As I had gone down the range in my boots and left my trainers [...]

A new year, more training!

January 3rd, 2010 by

Finally got home last night after a great few days at my parents place where we spent the festive season with old friends and family.  I was fortunate to get to my old club, Aireborough, and did some good 50 meter training between Christmas and new year – even if it was bl**dy freezing. Mike and myself have [...]
