Greeting and salutations from Milan!!
We had a good and fairly quick journey here from munich, only 7 hours by road, compared to the spanish team that flew and took 13 hours. What a shame!! The hotel is quite nice, its clean and spacious, though not a patch on the holiday inn. Worst of all, NO KETTLE!!!!! Doh.
We have had 2 unofficial training sessions so far which all things being equal have gone very well for me. The first one was an absolute howling gale, very difficult to read and judge the strength, but generally we coped as well or better than others.
Today was better conditions and subsequently scores and 10 frequency was a lot higher.
The prone matches are on saturday (Elimination) and the qualificationa and final are on Sunday. Will be home sometime on Monday evening me thinks!!

ummmm, shooting on tables?? WTF?!!
s'pose it stops that annoying person on the next point from kicking you!! (kick him harder, and away he goes!! - ka-thump!)
Does the table come with a step ladder?!
Just how much room is there on those tables? - it's a habbit, that when i unhook, i lay the rifle next to me.... i'd be worried that when i unhook, that would be the last time i see my rifle in one piece as it i watch it (in slow motion) drop to the shiny, clean, floor!!!
stay focused mate - and keep those 10's a-comin!!!
Best of luck for the weekend mate!
