Guys I would love to make it, but unless the rimfire and centrefire days get swapped around I can not.

I can make the Saturday, but not the Sunday!

Them's the brakes!

Cheers

a brief explaination of the scoring system please

I don't know how normal fly is scored either so if they are different please explain

later

Ogre,

5 scoring shots on a mothball target. Each shot scores points based on best edge in the mothball.
Group size is measured at its largest point and points allocated on a scale of
-1" = 10
1-2" = 9
2-3" = 8
etc till
9-10" = 1

Bullets do not have to be in the scoring mothball to count in group but must be on the target. Look at attached photo ie
4 x 10's
1 x 6
8 points for group (measured over 2" but under 3")
Total 54.2
Fly hits are .1 but do not accumulate ie 11 x .1= .11 not 1.1

cheers
Rinso

thanks mate- clear as mud

EDIT:- Was being a smart arse- good explanation- even for dunce like me.

I'm still a 50 50 but firming, if the days were swapped I would be like AI and be there for the centrefire 100%.

Hair bear is supposed to be going and I offered him a lift. My son may be going too. If we can get all our gear in my tiny boot then your welcome but there were only two of us off to Canberra and the rifles took up the back seat

roof rack???

They are rated to 150 odd kgs I can hide up there-- my 6BR and a box of re-loads wont take up any room. a box of 50 should be fine for the whole shoot-
I'll shoot off a bi-pod and a rear bag- no need for rest etc
I promise I wont take up much room

Im trying to get there, with work being non existant for the last 3 weeks i might be pushing it, Flat out for the next 10 days though so who knows?

Still have to sort out soem form of load for my 308 as it was less than impressive the other day with the old hunting loads.

Rinso, what are the rules in "Hunter/ varmint "class. I have a very accurate 220 Swift that my other nephew ( Sean's brother ) may want to shoot. 300 would be good for me, I can see the targets at that range.

Malcolm,

The rules for the Fly apply to all classes. The Hunter/Varmint class will be determined by Shane as to whats not overly modified.
