Plenty of long-range shooting was promised with three 20-round matches scheduled on Saturday and two 15-round stages on Sunday, all at 1000 yards.
Blair Atholl F Class 6th Round
OCTOBER 2011
I’d love to say that we congregated for the start of this shooting fest on a lovely sunny Saturday morning, especially as this was the weekend that saw cloudless skies and temperature records broken all over England and Wales but, large chunks of Scotland suffered from the overhead presence of a deep and slow-moving Atlantic cold front that piled cloud and rain in.

Still, it wasn’t cold, the winds were light to non-existent and it wasn’t raining on the 1000 yard firing point as the appointed time, 09.30, for blow-offs and sighting-in arrived. Unfortunately, the start time came and went but not a bullet travelled downrange for the good reason that nobody could see, with low cloud hanging onto the hillsides and banks of mist drifting slowly down Glen Tilt and across the butts.
