Indoor season coming to a close now, and I'm finishing on a high with a new Portsmouth PB:



That's a 570. Sweet. The only downside is that whilst shooting this I discovered my sightblock moves on the track even though all the screws are locked down. Sigh.

Done a little bit of 70m, mostly in godawful winds. Good gold sized groups way over to the left....

• course has now finished, and one of the guys who was on it is now putting in 520 portsmouths. Which is nice.
