The Waulkmill elves have confirmed they are willing to 'do the necessary' again to run another night shoot there. The date and time is Saturday 10th December - safety brief at 16:45 for a 17:00 start. The time seemed to work well last time, so we'll go for it again. The bottom course will be used (as there is some work to be done on the top course, that may not be done by the 10th). You can of course come earlier and use the plinking range to get used to shooting in the dark and estimating distances by torch light - or to help the elves (we'll be short of Senior Elf). No shooting on the top course as the Waulkmill elves may be in the Valley of Doom.
We'll be using score cards and they will be added up at the end of the evening to see who knocked over the most, and if any of us improved since last time. If you don't want the pressure of competition, don't bother with a score card and just have some fun. For those who haven't shot in the dark at Waulkmill, give it a go, the bogeyman didn't get any of us last time!
The BBC weather forecast is for 20% rain... Do you believe any forecast that far in the future? So watch out for updates on the GARC forum for updates.
And as our Safety Officer says -
1. The torch on your gun is only for using down range - we don't want any 'sweeping' by using it to navigate to/around/from the course
2. So bring an extra torch, headlight, etc. for use while you are standing/walking around the site
3. Wear something reflective so you can be seen, hi vis vests are available on site to use.
A bit of admin: We'll try to make a rifle available for new members who do not have their own rifle. You must contact Chris beforehand (and No, two days before isn't fair, or enough notice), but there's no guarantee there'll be anything available - first come, first serve.
Hope to see you there.
