We are indebted to our Major Sponsors, ExtraVision (Brisbane) and R&J Sportsgoods (Darwin) for the very generous support and recognition they continue to provide for Australian LRBR and this unique International 1000yd Benchrest competition.

Similarly, the IBS and the members of Virginia 1000yd BR Club deserve acknowledgement for the ongoing cooperation, assistance and recognition they continue to provide for our International 1000yd BR Postal Matches.

I would like to thank Alan Neilsen, Mick Easton and Paul Janzso for their co operation and for the efficient provision of their club results throughout the year. Much appreciated gentlemen!!!

Well done to all the participants of the postal matches and in particular the winners.

Dave thanks for your efforts in keeping it all happening.

Each year the results have improved and no doubt next year will be exactly the same.

Thanks should go to Dave for another year of compiling postal results with the Virginia club. Thanks to all the sponsors and all the clubs involved and a well done to all those that competed this year. Great to see some different names up there this year. The best part was the look on Donny"s face when he was told about his win.
See you all in 2012 where hopefully a number of us Northerners look to travel South to a few 1K matches.

Well done all who competed and congrats to the class winners.
A big thanks to Dave for all his hard work.
cheers

Hi all , 1st ,Dave as always you have done a super job in organizing the 4 ranges across 4 states in this big country.. Molding Narromine/Dubbo -- Murray Bridge -- Canberra -- and Townsville into a happy bunch of shooters eager to compete side by side each month by Postal with the US IBS shooters is a great achievement .. Naturally a big thanks to Claus and Goran at Extravision/ Vortex for their sponsorship in Light And Heavy Gun sections .. Also for the 1st time this year a big thanks to David Gifford from BJD projectiles for the 1000 Aussie made competition projectiles that were supplied for the new special section for the 308w rifles competing at 1000Yds bench .. I think it is important to have this new section running in with the other original classes because there are a hat full of potential new competitors that could come and try our LRBR events that come from the existing Tactical and F class competitions .. Bring on 2012 and i know it won't be easy to come out on top this time round.. See ya at the bench next year..JR..Jeff Rogers

Yep, thanks again Dave for the time and effort you have put into arranging the postal match and sponsorships. And thanks to Extravision/Vortex for their sponsorship and prizes.
I can only see this getting more difficult to do well in as more people start to get involved. This kind of thing has definitely helped interest more people in shooting 1K matches.

I'd like to say thanks to all our sponsors, and a big thaanks to Dave for organising the event. I would like to clarify that Bob Luther took 3rd, I didn't get second and third. See you all amongst the wind flags next year.

Jeff
