G'day Fellas,

For those that didn't attend you all missed a very good weekend at Hyland Road (which I am told was the last shoot for that range). The events were also managed extremely well.

It was also good to see such a large participation from the various clubs from within the state.

I only have results for the first three in bench rest (I am still waiting for the results for prone and field rifle).

A grade bench rest results are as follows

1st: Leanne Wyborn 600.50

2nd: Ray Richardson 599.50

3rd: Sean Ambrose 599.41

The top three shooters are from Sutherland Small Bore Association, Leanne and I were using the same rifle (Personally, I am looking forward to Leanne getting her rifle back from Mr. Clancy).

As soon as the B grade results are available including prone and field rifle I will post them.

Regards

Sean

Sean,when the results of these comp's are read out does Leanne openly smile at you or does she try and hide the look of satisfaction sorry Sean but there isnt a Shit stir emoticon to use,well done Leanne.



Regards Chris

Hi Sean , you beat me to it ,posting the results. Steve just sent them to me now and i just got home from work. Yes Congrats Leanne on a perfect score and excellent xs and of course beating your Hubby to be. Also congrats to Ray and yourself for making it a clean sweep of the A grade benchrest comp, some fantastic shooting all round. I only managed a 3rd in C Grade Prone on sunday but i had a great time both days, il see you and Leanne on Sat at Malabar. Cheers Ron

....Sean,when the results of these comp's are read out does Leanne openly smile at you or does she try and hide the look of satisfaction sorry Sean but there isn't a Shit stir emoticon to use,well done Leanne......

No Chris I usually get the cheeky gesture of a pointed tongue.

I shot first detail and had to wait for Leanne and as I watched her through the spotting scope I knew before she had even got half way through the first target that it was all over.

I am now beginning to accept that I must walk behind her with my head bowed and that I must not venture out-side of her shadow.

I've created a monster, next season should prove to be very interesting as Leanne will have her Bruno back and I'm guessing that I'm in for a hammering.

G'day Ron,

You prone shooters have exceptional skill & fitness shooting the scores you do. I gave it a whirl 3 weeks ago (to see if I could still do it) and was sore for about three days. I used to shoot prone when I was younger (20 years ago) and since then have been disappointed with myself for not staying with it.

That Bruno will be the resurrection.

All the best

Sean.

[Ron Goulding]

Hi Sean , enjoy the Bruno and its good to see your comming back to the mound. Yeah i still hurt every now and then from doing the lying down stuff , but i really do enjoy it. I just wish i started competition shooting 20 years ago instead of 6 yrs, as you get to meet alot of people , make some friends along the way, talk an obsene amount of Bull Sh#t , have a BBQ, and if your shooting well on the day take home a prize or two. Besides after a week at work its always good to get the itch out of my finger ! Cheers Ron

[Curtley78]

....talk an obsene amount of Bull Sh#t.....Cheers Ron

I know what you mean....I heard some corkers on the weekend....Don't think I would repeat any of them though.

Regards

Sean

...Hyland Road (which I am told was the last shoot for that range)...
SNIP

What is the story with this? Is the range closing?

Rabz

[juzz338]

Do not shoot there but from what i have gathered it is moving next door, just up the hill but on the same road. hope this is correct

[Ron Goulding]

Hi Juzz338 , yes that is correct. Hopefully it will be done be feb 2010 and include a 90mtr range. Fingers xd Cheers Ron

[Curtley78]

G'day Ron,

I had the Bruno at the range last night and shot it from the bench, I managed to shoot a 197 using Lapua Midas 'L'. I am pretty impressed given that it was the first time I had used it and not all that familiar with it (the three shots that dropped were due to me not being overly familiar with the trigger-its a little sensitive). I will send Leanne off to the range on Sunday with a box of R-50 and see how it goes.

Regards

Sean

Hi Sean , thats excellent shooting 1st time out, I never touched the trigger but it feels good, maybe the previous owner put a biro spring in it. I cant wait to see some prone scores now, if you get a 197 il buy it back off you . Cheers Ron
I didnt go to the range tonight to fix Mr Howard with money and bi pod, too cold and State of Origin is on. Il see if i can get a run down botany way in the next couple of days durring work hrs.
