New Australian 1000yd Benchrest Range!

Post by a.JR »

Hi all , Paul J from Sth Aus just contacted me with the terrific news that they conducted their 1st 1K benchrest match last weekend .. They shot for the first time on a target that does not leave and then come back up with a spotting disc in it .. This has allowed them to compete in the International Postal event we have been running in AUS in 2009 and 2010 and i for one could not be happier .. This now has three ranges shooting the postal and it increases our chances of putting up a good result here across OZ against the Americans each month .. Lets hope there will be more ranges competing soon .. JR..Jeff Rogers .. ps info on the SA F/ Class site

Good to see another range up and running.
Good luck to the "croweaters" hope you get some small groups and high scores.
cheers,

Gee 12 k winds, that is calm for Murray Bridge, been there 3 or 4 times in October wind has always been shocking with flags at right angles to the flagpole, good luck to all shooting there.
