Canberra 1000 yards 26-9

Post by macca »

It was yet another interesting day in Canberra.
The morning session had the best of the conditions with just a little vertical happening.
The afternoon shift got some rather nasty winds.
I haven't got all the results but Peter Van Meurs had a top day with small group in HG of 190mm and group agg of 225mm winning both.
In LG he also grabbed small group with a 117mm group agg of 170.5mm.
I was fortunate enough to grab score with 91.1.
We had a little drama with Shane Clancy trying to remove his left index finger on the butts trailer(remember Shane no good deed goes unpunished) he did return after a trip to hospital and a few stitches to shoot his HG in trying conditions.
Hopefully one of the Canberra boys will post the full results as it was a fair turn out of shooters after the fly,with several blokes having their first crack at 1000yards.
