50 Cal World Championships – no bag, no kit, no data, no essential range equipment, but at least I had my rifle! It’s a shame the same couldn’t be said about my bag, which was apparently somewhere else! What a great start to the 2017. Nine and a half hours later we landed at Denver and went through to baggage claim, and yes! All three rifles were there waiting for us.
Once sat on the plane, the three of us joked about how funny it would be if we got to Denver to find our rifles had not made the flight. Back through security… “Hang on, you have been through once, how can you be going through again?” There is another delay while we are checked out and back in, and we eventually make our flight to Denver with 10 minutes to spare. We set off, extremely disgruntled at the situation.Īrriving back at check-in, and thanks to the help of some extremely professional British Airways senior staff, the situation is resolved after half an hour of negotiating. This doesn’t seem like a major issue until we discover that getting back to check-in will take about 40 minutes and there is no direct route. Our flight closes at five past one and we still haven’t cleared outbound customs with the firearms.
Half past eleven and the phone rings… “Can you come back to check-in? There is a problem with your firearms,” says the voice.
it was a tricky start for Mike and the rest of the team, but the end result was phenomenal Mike Roberts gives his account of the 2017.
