Andree. its not the shearing shed, its the shearers quarters ( I've slept in both types, maybe not a huge difference, but there is a difference!) Knackers, book me and Hairbear in please!

You Mexicans just make sure you all get your green cards before crossing the border ... confiscation of weapons and deportation back to Victoria for any traveller without one.
What no one can help??????
would just like to know how these(fly shoot) work eg how the details are worked ? how many shoots ect ! never done any thing like that (rifle comps)
Thanks
I went to the 200 mtr rimfire fly on the Saturday, but was too crook with the flu to go to the 300mtr centre fire on the Sunday at Leeton. So I am not exactly sure how it goes, because I have only competed to 200 yards at the Wagga range.
RINSO, where are you? He could help, meanwhile I will see what I can find out HB.
1. Any Cal less than .50Cal.
2. Any stock configuration.
3. Any scope power including spotting scopes. Competitors may spot for each other.
4. No weight restrictions for Heavy Gun class. Light Gun class weight is 17lbs including bipods.
5. No rails ie: Guns shot from separate sand bag rest systems where the rear sand bag shall contact both the bench and the rifle. The front sandbag rest can be attached to a pedestal which can have adjustments for windage and elevation. The rear sandbag may have a stabiliser plate surrounding it if desired. Light gun class are allowed bipods.
6. 7 minute details. 1 target per shooter per detail.
7. Only 5 shots on the target. 3 sighters at other medium (paper or steel) for each relay. Payment of nominations shall be deemed total acceptance of these rules.
8. No ‘muzzle brakes’.
9. Compliance with range safety rules at all times.
10. Any competitor found not enjoying themselves will be disqualified.
Mate it is shot from the bench, you can use a bipod, benchrest, sandbag whatever you like as long as it meets rule 5 above.
Scopes covered in rule 3.
Basically you have 7 minutes to fire 5 scoring shots on your target and up to 3 sighters on another medium usually under the target. You can fire sighters at any time in any order as long as you dont fire more than three. A common approach is sighter, sighter, target, target, target, target, target with the third sighter held in reserve against a condition change.(this is not how you have to do it just how a lot of people do)
The main thing to remember is Rule 10. Bring some ammo, burn some powder and have fun.
