Well, good roll up after the BRT 500m Fly Nationals on the Saturday. Was looking like we would be rained out in the morning, but that passed very quickly.
New Australian Light Gun record shot by Peter Varley, at 2.010". Was using a rifle borrowed from John McQuire chambered in 6.5x47 Lap. Amusing that the last record set by Richard Wild was also shot with a borrowed 6.5x47...

I'm currently chasing down some photos of the target, so if anybody has them, please post them or PM me for my email address and I will do it.

Anyway, scores attached for your viewing pleasure.

Other than the cartridge, not off the top of my head. I'll chase the details down along with target pics.
