Hi all,

Is there posted anywhere a schedule of events for the range at Little River?
I would like to get along and watch a 500m Fly match and find out more about it and how it operates. Then I'll have some idea of what more I have to do once I've got the rifle in my hot little hands. I may need a spotting scope, front rest and rear bag.......not to mention a pay rise!

Cheers
Dave

Thanks again Ned.
My work is going to be a problem I see. I work 2 out of 4 weekends but I'll make it happen so I can have a shoot and meet some members.

Cheers
