Flyshoot at Hornsby, flyshoot at malaba??? Beauty, when will they be?

I think the shoots at Hornsby have to be booked at least a year in advance....dont hold your breath waiting.

Who do we contact for the Batemans Bay Fly shoots?

Am I too early (and keen)?

[Rinso]

Mate you dont need to book for the Bay just turn up

Mate you dont need to book for the Bay just turn up

So it's not like Canberra then. The Federal was booked out 2 months ahead of the shoot (no benches).

[Rinso]

I have never seen anyone turned away from Batemans Bay mate just front up.

Saturday Rimfire 200m (usually an hour or so for Centrefire practice after the rimfire shoot)
Sunday Centrefire 500m

Start times usually around 9am so be there by 830am

cheers

Guess there is no Muzzle brakes for the center fire same as the federal?

[Ackley Improved]

No muzzle brakes as per 500m Fly rules....

G'day AI,

I'll ask Jim McKinley if he can put me on the bench next you at the next shoot in Canberra as I almost have the .338 Winchester Magnum tamed.

300rum. The muzzle brake makes recoil less than a 243.

I'm thinking of getting a heavier bench stock and just swapping the stock for fly shoots. I currently just have a standard Remington Sendero SFII stock, I thinks it's a HS Precision.

You can put that 338WM right beside me...... the little 6mm knows what to do them big suckers...... By time you've tamed the first shot, my 5 will be on the target....

Batemans Bay will be the rifles maiden voyage too, cant wait!

Cheers

Know what mean, one year at Canberra I had a 338 Lapua on one side and a 30-04 Imp on the other, burning about 200grns of powder between them per shot and me in the middle with a 6BR using 29grns per shot and flogged em both !!!

Yeah Matt.. I've had a similar experience... stuck between a 300YOGI and a 7mmSTW. Couldnt shoot when they did as I had to wait for my crosshair to stop vibrating! The little 6's still held its own!

Bring on the BAY!

Cheers
