Shot my first away CAS match yesterday

[Buckshot Bear]

Shot my first away CAS match yesterday (Sunday) at a club a little North of us. Pretty much my first real CAS match as we're still getting our range and targets etc up to scratch. Learnt sooooo much, scoring, range procedure, spotting, the loading table, the unloading table..... it was such a great day. A bunch of us from our club went up and we could not have met a friendlier bunch of cowboys! The Southern Regulators are a super helpful and just down right obliging hospitable bunch. We shot four stages and my last one was clean, I was happy with that! T'was a big day, I slept well last night and a nice sleep in this Monday morning!

Looking forward to having the Southern Regulators on our range soon.

We have really enjoyed traveling to away matches.  We especially like camping on the range.

As Pat said to me in a PM......"Don't worry about nerves" and he was right

Yes Wallaby .....NRC, was a member there for 10 years in the '90's but let my membership lapse when we got smallbore on our range licence.

Squints is going to be bringing his Winnebago (he showed us through it, he's got that set up nicely!) down to our range very soon  

[Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062]

"Squints" ???

Thank you, its an Akubra Sombrero, it must be nearly 30 years old now and just starting to wear some holes in the top.

[Bailey Creek,5759]

Know what you mean. I have an old Stetson that i purchased back in 1977. 

Fits like a glove. Has a couple of holes. I can't part with it.

Greenhorn pilgrim, I reckon its good to be a little nervous first time rather than cocky.
