Pentagonal & Finlux
matches, Jubilee Range, 5 July
Tayside
were runners-up to West of Scotland in the Pentagonal
TR Match (best 5 scores per team). Fife won the
Finlux F Class Match (best two scores per team).
At 900yds the wind was tricky, and a sudden downpour took us
by surprise about halfway through this distance. At 500yds,
wind was easier and it stayed dry.

Not
putting up the gazebos before starting at 900 meant
that we had to put them up in a hurry halfway through.
|
Having
them up before starting at 500 guaranteed that it stayed
dry.

Notes:
- Pentagonal
(TR): best 5 scores from 8; and not per distance
- Finlux
(F): best 2 scores from 3; and not per distance
-
F-class
shooters; most shooters continued to use the old method
of scoring; recording 'Vee's as after the decimals,
and some shooters recorded using the newer method of
a 'vee' scoring 6; all scores have been adjusted to
the 'vee is 6' method.
Also,
as was pointed out on the range, the Finlux trophy came
into being through AJMunro's son who used to (still does?)
run a television shop in Pitlochry. Back then Finlux [from
Finland!] were a major supplier of satellite receivers
and hence the shape of the trophy. Back then, rural
Perthshire was an important market for the new satellite
industry; the guests in all those shooting lodges needed
satellite television reception to keep up to date with
the latest in their back-at-home soaps; Germany, Italy,
etc.
