[sometime shooter]

Nice going mate had to go to a endurance ride with the wife so no 900 yards for me.

[LoneRider]

havent got the scores for the harry yet.

was 700 today
perfect day for shootin.
very little wind,very slight mirage.
cool,so no thermals in the gully.

fudged a few shots but still got a 90.7
5 of those were supers 2 were 6's.
also hit the lucky spot again
[lucky spot is a small patch put in the centre,about the size of a 2 cent bit,has to be a clean hit and cant break the side out.]

next week is the 800.

i love this shit

[sometime shooter]

Nice going mate had to go to Melbourne to see my father, not well so no shooting for me last weekend. This weekend is 600 before I drive to Brisbane on Monday for the Nationals again, this time with a good barrel not like last year.

[LoneRider]

best of luck mate.

[sometime shooter]

Thanks hopefully it will stop raining by then

[LoneRider]

900yrd today
perfect conditions [as far as here goes ]
first range... 43.2 not great but fun
second range.... 50.2 more fun [dropped 5 but one shot was a flyer [2]

great day,no cloud,low wind, slow mirage....

i hope conditions are that good next week for the 1000 yrd.

[sometime shooter]

Oh I had a few of those at Brisbane, almost shot a possible and then boom 5 low right arrgh. No I don't think that Brisbane is a happy hunting ground for me, not last but well off the pace. Rear bag stability issues and always not a good thing when you find your wind zero is slightly out, don't see it so much at the shorts but go back to 900 and a 1000 it makes things well annoying.

[LoneRider]

why dont you come out here for the gem shoot [late august]
good prizes,good food...
plenty piss

[sometime shooter]

because the boss is going away over seas and we are lambing and carving so there is no way I can get away

[LoneRider]

i know a bloke down that way who could help with the ewes
dunno if hes into poddy calfs though

[sometime shooter]

Thanks but I don't need the hassle of bloody poddy calves again. It's a big pain in the ass.

[LoneRider]

complete flop today,blowin like buggery right wind [gusting]
everybody had trouble.
i used "Tiny" on the first round [31.1]
second round i used another blokes TR rifle.
30" barrel,sumo sights,eagle eye,musgrave action.
heavy as hell,sling wasnt set up for me and this guy has longer reach,so wasnt easy to hold up.
apart from that it was very nice to shoot.
still blowing hard [30]
lowest score ive ever gotten.61.1

oh well...thats shootin

300 yrd next week.

[sometime shooter]

Yeah no shoot for me this week went to Brisbane and bomb'd out again. Oh well if nothing else I am getting a good second hand nightforce which will be an improvement equipment wise.
