Hi Al, Have a look at Dave Groves thread on the www.500mflyshooter.com.au forum for some discussion, chime in if you have thoughts. To me Electronic targets mean that there is no more Morning/Afternoon discrimination... the whole thing is quicker, you get to shoot both classes if you want to (almost...

lol... Yeah well done to both .... but particularly little Chappo.... I think I heard comments about him walking home while he was in front of dad in group size Good effort overall for his first Canberra Trip.

Rumor has it that Chappo won the 300 bat shoot on Saturday night as well....

Hi, Thought I would get these up for Mick... See attached results from this weekends 1000 yard shoot in Canberra... the first shot on the Electronic Targets. See tabs on the bottom for splits marked & blind etc. Note group measurements are in Millimetres. I thought the electronic targets were gr...

We have lost a true Gentleman of the sport and a great guy. Very sad, my thoughts go out to Leslie and Ian's family at this sad time. I will organize an appropriate tribute at the next Batemans Bay Fly Shoot in June. From Memory Ian came third in 2012 and won this event in 2011... He will be missed ...

Hi, I think you are correct in that the majority of readers would be non 1000 benchrest shooters, so maybe some questions like Can I have a go at 1000 yards with a factory centrefire rifle ? What is the minimum equipment level in terms of rifle, optics and is reloading essential to enable someone to...

Hi All, Plans are progressing well for this weekend, we have several people who will be along to demonstrate their equipment and techniques as well as Pete van Meurs (ProCal) who will be there as the experienced, professional Gun Smith to answer questions, run the training & offer equipment for ...

Hi Paul, Well done, sounds like a great shoot. Would love to get down there for one of yours ! When you are looking at dates for 2013...... check out the calendar section at www.500mflyshooter.com.au , it has all the registered Fly matches for the year there..... I am sure if the shoots don't confli...

Have had some good positive response, and even talk of heavily discounted reloading and shooting gear, berger projectiles and the like on sale..... The current shooters of the year in 500m fly will be there. Should be a good opportunity to get together and all learn a bit and do something to grow th...

Want to learn more about reloading and or see what some of the benchrest shooters that are winning long range matches and shooting records are doing ? We are planning to run a reloading & equipment demonstration weekend at Batemans Bay SSAA range on Feb 23rd & 24th. There will be several Ben...

Hi Sean, The Full fly results are up on the http://www.500mflyshooter.com.au web site, see the results tab at the top. They are also in the forum section. You will also find results for all of the fly shoots for this year on there, the range records have also been updated to reflect the new records ...

Hi, I can and do happily vouch for Ken's 6mm 103's. They work well for 300m, 500m or 1000 yards.... I have shot a collection of small group, best target & high score records & wins in the 500m fly using the copperheads. At 300m they also perform amazingly well..... a few weeks ago, I shot 29...

Hi, What a great weekend in Wagga, well done to the club there for putting on a great event. Full results in PDF format are posted on http://www.500mflyshooter.com.au under the forum section. A Quick Summary of the results are; 300M Fly Match (Saturday) Custom Class 1st place - Anthony Hall 290.7 2n...

I have attached full results in excel and PDF formats. A summary of the results are: Light Gun 1st Place Anthony Hall LG 257.03 2nd Place Les Fraser LG 2...

Yep.....

rain would be easy..... wind will make it harder....

Who knows.... could be hot and sunny or piss down and blow !! It is Canberra after all..

See you all there & we'll have fun regardless.
