Re: ExtraVision 3rd 1000yd BR International Postal Match Res
Stuart, Where in the rules does it say that a blind shooter can't have his target? Too much to ask? Seems petty. I for one prefer to have my targets without sighter pegs rammed through the bullet holes. Jeff Understand that but some clubs (like Brisbane) prefer to glue the targets on. That way at l...

Re: ExtraVision 3rd 1000yd BR International Postal Match Res
Good try Deano, We attempted to get something going along these lines a year or so ago, the silence from Brisbane was deafening, see, they run the Aus Shooting Games or whatever they called the event last month, and there is NO WAY they will let someone run an Australian Shooting Championship, migh...

Re: ExtraVision 3rd 1000yd BR International Postal Match Res
Yeah Deano, agree there mate. As usual this degenerates rapidly out of hand and then the personal abuse comes out and the language also. Still doesn't change anything. I am sure Deon that if you want to get involved in 1,000 benchrest like say down at Canberra you will find the guys there all good, ...

Re: ExtraVision 3rd 1000yd BR International Postal Match Res
Well, I'll say it again. Back to my original post. THE OFFICIAL RULES. that is all that counts Some of you guys do not want to acknowledge the official rules now so that is your issue but it does not mean you can go round saying something shot using some other way which is not distinguished in the o...

Re: ExtraVision 3rd 1000yd BR International Postal Match Res
if i was to be the guy BLESSED to eclipse the world record which would be a super human effort in its self, i would be guttered to think that because on that day i chose to shoot marked it is not recognised as a new world record. Deano Well Deano certainly understand your feelings here but even if ...

Re: good books on long range shooting
Very well said Keith. Way overdue but I am not blaming you. Pity it had to be said but it had to be said by you. Thanks, Stuart FFS guys. I was only half reading this thread, I didn't realise that it got so off track. I am embarrassed by the carry on here, I am absolutely disgusted. Firstly, AusVarm...

Re: good books on long range shooting
As most people know I don't hang around this forum often, partly because of reasons Eric has stated in his post actually, but I have to say....that is a hell of a post Eric. Very well said indeed and well laid out. I hope everybody reads it at least twice and digests it well in the fullness of time....

Re: Stuart Elliott's 266.6 fly record
Thanks Ian and everybody. It was a great shoot (as always). Scores in the last few years have really come along. The top 3 places were over 250 points this time but if I recall most of the top 12 were over 240. I can remember the day (a fair while ago) when if you shot a target in the 50s it was a b...

Re: Q 500m Fly Spotting Scopes & Cartridges
Yeah really top stuff Tony. You sure are doing yourself and the sport great favours ...eh? We also just love hearing about how well you two shoot up there in Townsvillage too. It isn't the centre of the universe but I'm sure you can see it from there. You've been "called out" Tony. There a...

Re: Q 500m Fly Spotting Scopes & Cartridges
I As for the March it will sit in the box until i decide what to do with it. Well Tony, I'm glad to hear you changed your mind about passing it onto to someone else if you really do think there is a problem. I think you should be taking up Jim's offer to get it checked out. We both know you have no...

Re: Q 500m Fly Spotting Scopes & Cartridges
Hi Geoff, - so any talk of an 8-80x scope is entirely frivilous for serious competition work, as I doubt any serious contender would ever use such a scope at 80X when shooting 500mt (a gimmick at best to suck in the novice). Pete Who are your 'serious" contenders Pete? Maybe the ones who sell ...
