Check the type of match you've got. BCB is the Rolls Royce, some imitators are inferior.

I've struck about 300+ BCBs over the years and I always used a standard striking motion.

Be prepared to waste a good few of these (expensive) matches to perfect your technique before you need them.

Then get up onto Kinder Scout in January with a 30mph wind from the North, remove glove, sample the windchill for 10 minutes and try again - this will modify you action probably!!! LOL
