huge smile

pissed off that i pulled that shot...
but oh well....

next week is the 600yrd practice before the Gemfields OPM the week after.
can only hope to have fun and get a prize as a bonus.

[sometime shooter]

Still a bloody good hit none the less.
We shot 500 yards could only manage a pair of 56.2 and 56.3
Did shoot a practice stage with my t3 lite 6.5x55 in almost perfect conditions. 147 eld-m first 5 in the x ring 6th to the 6 ring then fell a part with a really hot barrel

[LoneRider]

yeah im pretty stoked,since getting this musgrave ive been getting pretty good scores.
getting this voodoo of wind and mirage reading to sink in [which helps ]
last 3 ranges i havent cleaned the barrel [which i believe helps]
did tonight though,so no matter what happens on the 600 next week,its pretty much,just to foul the barrel

[sometime shooter]

Yeah I'm still a bit scratchy from 2 and a half months of no shooting due to snapping my left distal bicep tendon back in Feb.
Got selected for our Blue Mountains DRA F Std team a few weeks back and the Country F Std team which did wonders for my confidence in my gear. wasn't sure if it was me, the rifle or load but when you have one of the wind coach's who went to the world F class championships in Canada last year it sure does put your mind at ease about your equipment.

[LoneRider]

ill say,the most couching ive had is one old TR shooter telling me my water line was good but i was too low and should be aiming for centres every shot.
the rest is me.
i have had some couching from another older TR shooter but it just confused me,so i prefer to do it myself.
the tears i have are in my shoulder,doesnt affect my shooting,thank the shooting gods.
good on you man.they must think enough of your abilities to get you on the team.

[sometime shooter]

Yeah I'm very lucky to have in my club two guys who both went to Canada and have always been willing to share. Brett Bond was one of the coach's who went to Canada and is also a bloody good armourer and has done all my work. I have been scratchy and out of practice, did a lot better this week too, I have to remember to be patient and watch the flags all the time. I have had a habit of not always paying attention and just thinking that I can shoot through normally ends in a bull or worse

[LoneRider]

i see your at bathurst,will you be there for the opm ?
i hope to be,after gosfords.

[sometime shooter]

Yes I am a member of Bathurst and since joining haven't missed one. Not sure what I'll shoot this year might shoot Open only cause I am saving my last B Grade Shoot for the Canberra Queens

[LoneRider]

either way,im hoping to get there this yr [im loading for it]
you should rock up to gosford,its a great range and a top bunch of people.

[sometime shooter]

Would like to get away more but the drought is cutting into the time I have available
