Dam shame that is too Matt because we could do so well if the ego's could be left at the range gate.

Well done to Stuart, Brendan, Craig and Sully great effort on the biggest stage.

To put things into PROPER perspective, think back to the America's Cup that Bondy took off 'em in that fancy yacht race using that winged keel..........well this is the Benchrest equivalent.
