Thanks all. I'll try ebay and see how it goes.

Does anyone know of a source of 50mm wide 150 g/m2 (red/white/blue?) striped polyester ribbon for making up ISSF compliant wind flags using our existing poles? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

http://www.biathlonsport.com/ There's an old site here, but with some interesting comments/insights: http://web.onetel.com/~hughp/ We have a biathlon shooter at our club. Apparently the Izhmash is the affordable alternative to Anschutz (http://www.izhmash.r...duct/bi-7.shtml) ... then there's the indoor training air rifle and target to buy, plus skis and rollerskis... I can sympathise though. The coverage on Eurosport is excellent and they make it look soooo easy ;-) There's some other banter here: http://www.targettalk.org/viewforum.php?f=12

We're got a TEC-HRO hand lift (same as this: http://www.edinkillie.co.uk/ecatalog/techro-lift-p-1048.html). It's virtually unused as it was an experimental prone adjustment that ended up not being necessary. If you're interested, we can discuss a price and look at postage, unless you're travelling through/to Surrey any time soon.

Serial with a USB converter we've not used, as we had an old laptop. I was told it worked with the converter, but can't vouch for it. I'll PM my email address.

We've got a RIKA that we've never really got going with; bought together with a rifle etc from a club member who was giving up. You would need a very basic laptop to go with it, but it comes with an alu case and it is in good condition. We would sell it for what we paid: £400 if you're interested. Redhill, Surrey if you want a look before you book.

We've learned that this is an 1807 with 1907 stock... apologies for any confusion. It has a 2 stage trigger. Not sure how many rounds, but we understand the barrel is 1981, with the stock new around 2000. It has had regular club use by the current owner for about 14 years, with annual Anschutz servicing at Bisley. The barrel has helped keep its owner in X class for the last few years and has only been replaced in favour of a Border. No known probs and a recent quick batch test showed a best 10 shot group of 12.8mm at 50m, next best was 14.6mm, so it looks like it easily holds the 10 ring and is still a good barrel.
