New 500m fly 'pending' national record for small group

Post by chappo555 »

Congratulations must go to Anthony Hall from Batemans Bay who shot an Australian record small group of 0.589 at Wagga yesterday, yep 5 shots in a shade over half an inch at 500 metres.

Whilst it is a pending record I don't believe it will have any problems being accepted. I think that record may stand for quite some time.

Well done Anthony. Image

Awesome result, a real slack grabber in a match!

awesome. I never had anywhere near the skill to do a target like that but looking at it reminds me of the pleasure at seeing a target that was better than my normal.

I will try this again

Top stuff. Any pictures of the target? What caliber and bullets?
Many people would be happy to shoot that group at 100yds.
It will be a tough one to beat.

Oops sorry. Pics sometimes take ages to come up on my prehistoric laptop.

It's on a Facebook group and at least one fwit got booted as he does better off the ute bonnet with his 22/250. I'd love to see these marksmen win us some Olympic gold
