Golden City Club 10

No matter what happens, if there is a shoot, we'll be there.


I Love My Gun
Golden City League 10 and a very good turn out.

Shot with loads of shooters we had never shot with before.

Thanks all it was great.

Nationals at Golden City



Apologies if you follow our blog and think I have left the planet.
Registration & Equipment Check

There has been preparation for the Nationals held at Golden City Shooting Club and motivations for the gun collections and grandkids with the flu – so here goes.

I enjoyed every minute of the Nationals.

On the Friday we had to register and have our guns and magazines checked. 

Freezing Our Butts Off
Saturday before Nationals everything was packed and ready to go. We thought we would get a decent night sleep and be at the range just after 06:30 as we had a 07:30 start. Off to bed and alarm set – to cut a long story short – alarm malfunction. Quick shower and coffee – try not to get too uptight about things not running to plan and off to Golden City we went – all in time and no real repercussions but not a good thing to do.
Richard Doing His Thing

This was a first for both of us and I am not sure if it was just the nerves or the cold but I had
the shakes on that first stage.

It was two days of pure enjoyment and exhilaration with 297 shooters, 16 stages and 16 details with approximately 18 shooters in each. Three RO’s following your every move, strategies going down, keeping your cool while waiting, checking your ammo, listening to advice.

Loved every minute of it. I would really have wanted to have had a better score but one consolation was that we were not disqualified – close to 10% of the field went home for some infringement or another.
Got The T Shirt

How lovely to say that we took part in an event with all the Pros and Champions of the IPSC


Would I do it again? – Hell Yes!

Do I love Shooting? – Hell Yes!
