Qualified for the National final!

He informed me that I have qualified for the Match Training rifles class, and just scraped through the cut with the No4 rifle in the standard bolt action class.

The event is late June at the Centre National Tir Sportive in Chateauroux.

Luckily it's only about two and a half hour drive. The ranges are where the Olympic shooting was held. 

So now I need to get practicing.

I’ll make a humble suggestion, if you can’t get the time for doing live fire practice at least once a week, set up an area in your house, or outside, to do dry fire practice. Make up a small target with a black aiming mark with the diameter scaled to the distance for dry fire so that it appears the same size as the targets you shoot at in competition. 15 to 20 mins of dry fire every night will improve your scores, this really helps reduce rifle movement during striker release by concentrating on follow thru.
