Cheers jack

the remaining N-D 1000yd BR matches for this year are scheduled for the 16th of september and 11th of november.

apart from the the 2013 July SCC, the club has not determined next years match dates.

apologies for this, mate, they normally do this at the end of the year.

i will let you know once it is sorted.

PS - if you happened to travel up with Jacko, you could possibly provide "bolt security".

cheers

Great news Dave. I believe there will be 11 shooters from the North for next years pseudo Nationals Maybe 12. Word traveled fast and many wish to get there if they can.

Dave i know it has been spoken about in different circles but the Standard class criteria you posted there is one of common sense by allowing an unmodified FClass rifle to compete in a match very familiar to what they already know. It is no wonder you have so many FClass guys at your matches. Great foresight from you and your club.

No worries Dave I will,I'm thinking I'll get to the November shoot do you have an fclass shoot on the Saturday if so what yards will it be shot at
Cheers jack

yes mate.

equity and commonsense is what it is all about!!!!

as you have rightly stated, running the Standard class 1000yd BR allows F class shooters the chance of trying 1000yd BR without having to build specialist rifles and it is also a positive in terms of evaluating and possibly improving wind reading skills on a smaller target.

We are more than happy if the F class shooters continue to come to N-D and shoot in the Standard Class events. Likewise, if they prefer, they also have the option of shooting in the International events.

As was hopefully evident during your visit, we respect the right of competitors to choose and shoot in the class of their choice.

From the feedback we have recieved since introducing 1000yd BR at N-D, it is overwhelmingly obvious that our regulars and guests also approve and support the the principle of recognising and rewarding the various classes as separate identities.

We are proud of the fact that we offer prizes for the 6 main classes of 1000yd BR competition and throw in a couple of extras to boot!!!!!

cheers

saturday the 10th of november will be a 1000yd target rifle and f class event with the 1000yd BR on the sunday. ( september 15th and 16th same deal)

it would be great if you are able to attend

going on past november weather, a hat , sunscreen, cool drinks in an esky etc would be a necessity.

also ,you won't have to shoot any "barrel warmers". 40+ degree november days are not unusual.

cheers
dave

Thanks Dave looking forward to getting back there in November
