Well done to Ian on his 261. We were battling the crappy conditions during 1K today when late this afternoon Ian gave us a call after just getting his score agg. Good to see you got all the "details" right Ian. See you in July in Townsville.

Having congratulated Ian at the shoot on a sterling performance I would like to point out that ..
1. Conditions whilst not horrendous were not easy and a tricky verticle condition kept most shooters transfixed all day.

2. A score of 261.4 is now (unless I am mistaken) the Australian high score record for Fly.

I thought Barry Tucker shot very well for around 230 and was very unlucky, as that score would win more often than not. Malcolm Ambrose continued to improve with a solid result in the 220 area, good effort Malcolm.

Sean Ambrose is now looking for a second job as his young lady shot the rimfire Saturday morning and when the centrefires came out was an avid watcher until Chris (festa) offered her a shot with his 6.5-284 Light gun which she proved adept with. Not to be outdone by a light gun I had to give her a shot of the big 300 which resulted in an immediate order for a Heavy Gun being placed with Sean ... so anyone with a bit of extra work can contact Sean he needs the money for a Heavy gun for Leanne ..

For those wanting some more bad news Ian Davis has been having some issues with his reloading dies despite scoring 251 & 261 at his first two shoots with the new rifle. I think we worked those issues out the other day and he will be able to load much more concentric ammo and resolve some issues with neck tension as a result, so its only going to get harder to beat him with more consistant ammo.

For those that don't know Ian, he is a bloody nice bloke and I could not be happier for him with these results coming to someone who puts so much effort into his shooting.

cheers

Congrats again to Ian. Was pretty damn impressive.

Thinking if things keep going like this some sabotage may be needed for anybody else to get a chance at SOTY. hahah
