a.JR,

Ok...Q&A time...

Will there be sufficient numbers for a sweating/winging/destitute southerner to shoot two classes in each event ?

Is there time between sittings for reloading ?

And what are the noms worth ?

Can you please arrange for the planets to align too :lol:

Sure sounds good, JR, bringing the dates forward actually suits me better.
Kenny, if you're looking for a travelling partner/s let me know

Tim and Kenny, on you way thru, pick up that other mate of yours in Rinso. He's gunna need somewhere to run in the new HG barrel.

JR, that's not aura, that is the voodoo magic of a lot of people that want me to fall down a mine shaft and stay there. I just channel it for good rather than evil. The pain in the groin is something i have gotten used to. :mrgreen:
If Shane and Jeagen come up again, we'll be fighting for third or fourth if we're lucky. That Rinso is an unknown quantity and i reckon he wears them slip on shoes like salesmen and realestate agents do. Gotta watchim :twisted:
Kenny without a tube will be an also ran :mrgreen: , but if he fits a tuna, we're gunna have some crossfires and need a laser range finder to measure the groups :mrgreen: . The gun will look the part though, that's important.
And then there's the two Trevs. Can a pop gun actually get to 1K? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Just realised why there have been no bites or replies about rednecks. All away at the Canberra Fly and 1K. Good luck boys.

aJR, would love to stay with you again, thanks for the kind offer, no 1 son will be coming. Haven't heard back from Kenny yet.
TZ, if Rinso and Rinso Jnr are up for it we'll try to encourage them to come along. As for the ProCal cup, I'm still shellshocked. Shot both classes. Never experienced a shoot like that one, was lost all day, sighters indicated one thing, scorers were no even close. Am wondering if the barrel is gone, one target wind was left to right but some shots printed left. Missing is alright if you can learn from it, but I learn't nothing, and had a number of shooters say the same thing. Still wondering, will have to go back to the range to see if the barrel and loads are right. Bummer.
cheers

Well I know I say every year I will try an make it, so this year will be no different, I will try to organise myself for the big trip north in ... when did you say .. July was it, and no I wont be coming for the Supercars I see them every year at the only race that really matters.

I will even try talk to that Mr. Goodridge fella into coming along.

cheers
Rinso

a.JR, Bowhunter, TZ...hell all of ya's

Sorry....I have been busy doing a rimfire....so missed most of this...

JR, jeez I can feel the heartburn already...chilli prawns...fark I might just eat and get pissed each day and not worry about bringing a gun :D
The noms sound good..reloading won't be a prob as I will have enough for each day...as for the planet alignment I will be following you.. following TZ about all day....that woud make a bigger shady spot :wink: :lol:
I think I have a floor to camp on already..so should be OK there.

Tim, when it gets closer we shall sort it out :D

TZ, I have found a 1lb can of Tuna deadens ANY node that possibly existed making it a 'peice of perch' to 'tune' :D Who knows what I will turn up with...... :lol: Beware of men who wear slip on shoes :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rinso, I reckon you should get DG and yourself up there.....man what a contest it would be...I am thinking of staying home now :lol:

Kenny, no HG for me next year unless an action comes up or i get busy and make another one, and an LG that's not legal for Fly. Can't win the Ironman without three matches. So you're one up already. I will probably just run next Julys' Fly and Murphys' tells me it will be 1 to 2 knots and overcast :mrgreen:

aJR, you know I'd never force you to drink alcohol. Let's put the challenge out, I think I can make sure Kenny comes without too much trouble.

Rinso, it's up to you to get organised and get there, we'll have to work on dg to come along and while we are at it, we should work on the yowie and dick to come along.

Sounds like a convoy

C'mon.....there must be sumtin in the cupboard you can use :shock:
Murphys' tells me it will be 1 to 2 knots and overcast
1-2 knots, overcast AND 99 pusscent humidity I bet.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Wait till you see the tuner I made...it's about 28" long..and will give me a huge advantage 'cause it's sooooo shiny it will blind the other competitors :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll:

Tim,

It's on mate no matter what...just with who and how to work out..
