    Very pleasant day in the sunshine at Brads, many thanks for the venue and to Ebf for running a relaxing shoot. Hi light of the day was beating @Rushy by 1 point!! I now have him a @Woody notched on my belt!! There’s some great guys on this forum and I met a few more today. Some nice toys turned out and there’ll be some sore shoulders tonight!! See you next year.

    Or as in my case not setting your sights at all till half way through the second stage. Excellent shoot, hopefully someone has a photo of the most difficult to understand rainbow nation balloon stage��

    We should get better at recording these things, a photo of John and Terry with those doubles should have been mandatory. Guess there's always next year

    Fun day, tx for making it easy to run the event guys. And a huge thank you to @BRADS and Mel for their hospitality, @Rushy for his BBQing efforts, and John L for sharing RO duties.

    It is interesting to see how the shoot is evolving. The time limits on 2 of the stages definitely make it more interesting, and couple guys got smart and brought double rifles for the lion stage this year.

    Pretty close affair in scope class, we had to have 2 rounds of offhand shooting at the 200m plate to decide the winner.

    And @JohnM, his bus and Mrs will definitely be invited back ! The steady supply of homemade shortbread and fresh pikelets that kept appearing in the woolshed last night was fantastic

    Was a great event thanks to Brads and Mel for the Venue and ebf for the event. Jeez old Maca can spin a yarn. You can’t shut the bugger up. Ha ha ha ha. Maca I hear that there is a 416 Rigby up for sale. You should add it to your collection.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Although I feel my days of burning small loads of powder may be numbered at this event if some of the "beer talk" is anything to go by.
    Perhaps if anyone has a big bore (.415 and under) for sale I may be interested.
    How many ya after?

    @7mmwsm, as long as I am measuring bore rather than muzzle energy your rifle will easily qualify. Marty's gun sounded suspiciously like a mouse fart, so he might have some problems at scrutineering next year...

    I'll play you a recording of a 105 howitzer at scrutineering that should get me through ok��
    I have also written myself a reminder to check the sight setting BEFORE finishing the second stage, preferably before starting the first. It does make a difference.
