Congratulations to........

Post by Tony Z »

Congratulations to Craig Whittleton for his great performance in Melbourne over the Easter weekend and induction into the HOF. No 25 ? i believe. Great to see another West Aussie doing good. Now that you have your HOF jacket, how long will it be before you bin the SR rifle along with the F Open barrel and get into some serious Fly, 600 and 1K? Jeff and i look every month in the journal to see if you or Steve are offering a shoot.
Also congatulations are in order for Barry Duncan for his world record shoot in RBA just recently. Well done mate, you have put a lot of time and money into the sport. Hope to see you and Georgina at the Hunter Nationals in Springsure this September.

It was great to see Craig make it :D

While congratulating him at Little River on Monday he was telling me he has only attended 3 Nationals and has gained all his points over a 4 year span. I am not 100% certain but I think that is a record in itself :D

For those who don't understand it, the benchrest hall of fame works on a points system, with points only awarded at the National Championships.

1 point for a yardage win and 2 points for an aggregate win with a total of 10 points required for hall of fame entry.

To benchrest shooters this is a very BIG deal........ once your there your kinda like.... Elvis without the glitter :lol:

I first met Craig at Silverdale at his first Nationals in 2002. He had been dragged there by Ray Edwards and Graham Keppe and in his first attempt i think finished third in the 2 Gun. He would undoubtedly be the quickest Hall of Famer that i know of, aswell as possibly the youngest, not that one would notice with all that hair missing. Must be the stress of being a Landscaper, having to take all that money into the bank each day in the bucket of the Bobcat :lol: .
By the way Kenny, how did the 30 BRs go? Did you shoot yours in HV?
