Hi Native,
Final day of practice, story was the left hand end is tougher so we set up down there and I shot my 10.5lb. After the trigger issue I needed to check things. Long story short it is not shooting but I bought some glue and reglued the action to the stock in hope that will improve it.
Got the sporter class rifle out and tested that, went well but the wind was real tough.
Then the air rifle at 25m good fine and shot some nice scores.
Tomorrow we start the comp with light air rifle at 25m, I should get to check the 10.5 again as well.
Native I had a real close look at a racer today one of the chec guys is shooting one, flash looking bit of kit I will try and keep trac how it goes.
Later
Brett

Here ya go, guys.



This is Brett practicing with his heavy varmint class Hall benchrest rifle.



This is the Grunig & Elmiger Racer being used by the Czech team. Note the Benchrest components added. Very bling bling, this rifle is. Will be interesting to see how this rifle shoots over the competition.

The fun so far, the joys of flying with guns.
The aus and USA customs were real kind to snipwench the Aussie team leader and I. It took us about 20 min in Australia and 45 in dallas the rest of the team were not so lucky with some taking up to five hours in the USA to clear customs.
The rifles did not travel great fair amounts of scope adustments have been required, Dal had to replace a snapped scope mount only to find the scoped broken as well.
My rifle after 40 rounds of the first day trashed a trigger. The main spring just snapped thank god for Dan at kellough shooting supplies who had jewels for sale. I stripped the rifle down and fitted the new Jewell in about 40 min. The only problem was I had to pop out the glue in action but I fixed that today.
I will report in tomorrow night on the air rifle results hopefully our equipment problems are behind us.
Thanks foe the support guys.
Brett
