The rest of the day has been abandoned. Apparently running dust through 1000ss of dollars worth of equipment is a bad plan. I’m still alive

Not quite a Steven Speilberg quality video, but a short clip of the wind this afternoon.

Well it might have been the toughest day I have seen today. Hoping to stay on paper tomorrow. Hoping the wind takes a holiday.
Still been a lot of fun with some good company. Saw a couple of top groups shot in crappy conditions.

I know they boast about it being a tough range but that's soul destroying.

I am guessing the containers aren't so much help in that force 10 zephyr?

We are all set up and just waiting for the sun to move
Far enough from behind the target line to shoot. The wind is already gusting and it is agreed that the 6 target match will be reduced to four. So the race is on for 7shooters to get one target each in before the dust storms. It will be touch and go. I’ve lost my only chance of winning, which was doing the stephen Bradbury and being the only one to finish. My group and score won’t be good enough. Assuming I do get everything on paper which is still going to be a challenge

Just finished in time. Rushed the equipment of the bench as the dust storm hit.! I finished!!!! I’ll likely be lowest score and biggest group but I finished. Another rookie equipment fault on the last detail. Everyone has a case holder to set the required amount of ammo on the bench. I don’t. I fired two shots before the wind blew the remaining three rounds off the bench. Scrabbling in the stones to find your rounds is not conducive to picking any subtle change in the flags. Can you do subtle in a gale. Well I digress. The last three shots where on paper but just a different part of the paper than the first two. As Jeff has said , the shooting is just the excuse and I’ve had another excellent time at Narromine getting to know some members better and meeting some more
