Shooting in the Queens in Bisley

[fitzs25]

No, Belfast Royal Academy. Although in this I was shooting for UK Under 21s.

And yes, I concede this is probably one of the most boring videos ever, but a friend asked me what the hell is shooting all about - since watching this he has questioned the label sport...

Over a minute of staring at your backside before anything happens !!!

[nathanheal]

@yiblon youve never shot in 3s have you?

[shotfirer1972]

raining at Bisley?!!! surley not! A very historical (and wet from all accounts) range to be sure. I recently bought a "Regulated by Fulton" No4 Mk1 in .308 that came from the same area. Havent got it yet, but like all the Fulton accurised gats im sure it'll be up to the task! good vid

[fitzs25]

i went to a state school in north belfast and got financial aid to shoot here. it does cost a fair amount, which is probably why there are less people participating, especially with the credit crunch. of course there is no money to get out of it, but when comparing it to the savage corporate standards of premiership football then you realize having a relaxed and enjoyable sport is fun, even if in the british summer rain. Ps. I support the financial institution that is Manchester United, groans.

fuckin hell mate no wonder us markers get pissed off you lot take ages to shoot and we mark the targets quick for you lot. learn to shoot quicker

[tomeanator80]

@JodyHallUK you can't rush these things

[Drunkenher0]

I left school in 2005, came back in 2006 to coach the schools meeting and stayed for the imperial. That was enough. Theres no money in shooting. It aint worth it unless your planning on beheading an afghan with ur sniper rifle

[sunbeam11]

I think most of us see it as a hobby, not a career. A bit like golf.

[Drunkenher0]

Yea... a very expensive hobby at that. We didn't all go to Epsom and we certainly don't all drive a TVR!

At least in Golf you could aspire to become pro. You become a 'pro' shooter and your still working a 9-5.

[carbine6]

Didnt know they let the sandal-wearing wanker crowd shoot there

[Drunkenher0]

Bisley is relaxed. The only thing u need is a apart from all the obvious tools is the money to do so. You can shoot in anything you want.

[chazrc23]

What did you finish with?

[jubbles2343]

I fired on the 1000yd range a couple of days ago and didnt miss once! it was awsome!

[Drunkenher0]

LOL... well done. Beat 49.8 on the Conan Doyle, 900yrds

[chazrc23]

50.6, sorry! Although that was 2007... and every year i seem to get Coorperated at 1000.

[Drunkenher0]

The corporation is a crap shoot. I don't have the prize list for 2007 so I can't see if your spoofing. 2006 was my last year at Bisley

[chazrc23]

I think all the prizelists are on the NRA site. How come not 07 or 08 though?
