Round 5 & 6

It was only 6.3degC but it was a good day to shoot rounds 5 & 6 of the winter BP league cards. There was bright sunlight throughout and no breeze.

Round 5 - an 83 ex 100

On the round 5 card I managed to get 11 of the 13 shots on to the black. No 10's or V-bulls and all the scoring shots either 8's or 9's.

Round 6 - an 88 ex 100

On the round 6 card I was a bit disappointed to drop 3 shots in to the white, but pleased with the two shots in the 10 ring. My positioning and sight picture was more consistant with a nice grouping of shots just below the 10 ring.

My normal setup was used: 9gns of Krank's Fine, .354 ball and Ox-Yoke 0.010 lubed patches.

Stats

Detail scores: 83 + 88

Running average: 79.4

Personal best: 88.1

Barrel count: 157

After shooting the two cards, I also tried out a new setup to see if it worked OK: 9gns of Krank's Fine, .350 ball and a 0.015 dry patch lubed with 'aqueous cream'. The cream, available in 500mg tubs from the 'Pound Shop', worked OK but seems to a bit on the thick side and needs further diluting with added water or oil. I will see what gives the right consistancy.
