So I got a call from our club secretary today.
Apparently, the list of shooters qualified for the National final was published before all the regions had posted results!
So that means I didn't make the cut! 
So that's the bad news. But the good news is our club have organised a 200 and 300 metre shoot at the Chinon club on the same weekend.
So it will give me the opportunity to log some set up information for the 200m range. Also try the L39A1 at 300m.
It will be the first training day for next year's competition!
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

That's unfortunate but at least you can get a good round of training in.

It may have been possible to get a place if enough cancellations. But apparently the.22 match rifle would shoot on Sunday afternoon. Which means a total of 6 hours driving because I have to return to Paris in the evening. I think an afternoon spent with friends at the 200 range on Saturday will be more beneficial in the long run. 
I have shot at the National final twice before. It's a long day for one 20 minute shoot. 
Hopefully next year I will up my game!
