Hi all,
Just a reminder that the August fly shoot is not far away now. Come along for a great weekend of shooting.

Shane and I will also be organising another dinner at the Bidgee Hotel on Saturday night.

For those travelling there is plenty of places to stay, just give me a call and will point you in the right direction.

Hope to see you in August.

Chris

Knackers,
Yes, there will be another lucky door prize this shoot. Anthony from Vortex has kindly donated another scope for this shoot.

Will be good to catch up again.

Rabbitz,

I think it may be about 5-6 hours (Although I haven't checked on a map, you may want to leave before the Friday afternoon peak hour hits).

Getting through the Blue Mountains will be the hardest and most tedious part of the journey.

Chris, think I will come up for the rimfire as well if the offer is still there to use your rifle.

Steve would it be stretching the firendship to bunk in on Friday night as well, happy to throw out the swag in the shearers quarters
