Plus a very interesting showdown looks likely between HOF #1 RBA and HOF #1 IRB.
We have 4 juniors now and shooters from NSW, QLD, VIC, SA and WA thus far....

I have a question to ask. Now that I've nominated for 3 rimfire classes, the weight carrying so much gear on the plane is starting to concern me. I'm very attached to my Lenzi back bag but it weighs a ton. An option would be to tip out the garnet from the body of the bag but I will only do that if garnet was available on the range. It would be returned before I leave to fly back to WA.
Maureen Edwards
This is commonly done overseas for world champs not so much for local Aus comps. I would suggest u could empty your bag and readily buy some sand in Sydney at Bunnings to do a cheap temporary fill here. Or u bring one bag and share it in your lanes ?
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
Maureen. I’m sure the host range could supply you with some garnet it is readily available at Bunnings as sandblasting sand.
Kim
As there is no host club or range in this case, 2023 is all my volunteers who have stepped up to help and they are also all shooting.
Maureen please take my suggestion on board that you can buy sand easily yourself or talk to Barry and Fran who are on your lanes about sharing bags/rests etc.
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
I've had a very kind offer from Brett Wilson who will have garnet at the range for me. He has offered to help the West Aussies with anything else we require.
You're a champ Brett.
Maureen Edwards

I need an email with all your details inc events, sharing and your tra club, plus payment of the TRA ONLY part of the fee $21 per event to TRA account as per the flyer info.
Finally many have paid but some have not, please pay your TRA part of the fees to confirm your spot.

"Shoot to Thrill"
There are 2 new rules that i need to 100% confirm after World Championships but highly likely we will allow for this years RBA Nationals as per below.
Also I can 100% confirm you will be vying for a spot (1st qualifier of 2) on Team Aus for the World Cup in Finland 2025as per our new qualifying process already published.
RULE CHANGES:
1. International Sporter Scope can be up to 12 x power
2. Front rest can be as normal a rest or now a bag or a bipod in all classes.
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
I can confirm we will be using the NEW WRABF RULES for this event and on going, so International Sporter will be allowed up to 12x Scope and any front rest such as traditional, bi pod or sand bag is allowed. It is also confirmed FINLAND will be hosting 2025 World Cup
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
Bill can you advise if the bipod in the new rules would be weighed with the rifle?
Kim
I believe not as that is classed as the rest....
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
If bipod it's attached to the rifle will part of the rifle like scope or any other and if not tomorrow I'll attache
my 6Kg. front rest to my rifle
Robert
That is not the intent of the rule mate
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
Sorry Bill could you please explain it, because to use a bipod on the bench have to be attached to the rifle and the moment of shoot bipod is fixed to the stock yes or not ???? When we shoot in the convencional maner as the rule rifle can't be attached to the frontrest In any form,let me know please if I'm wrong.
Robert
The rule is intended to make front rest an easier option. It is not to create a new weight issue. At the RBA National we will not weigh the bi pod if somone wants to use it. Unless we are told otherwise by the WRABF
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
It is not simple, you try to tell me now that a rifle wich are at the limit of permited weight by the rules shooter can ad an extra weight with a bipod !!!!! What about others shooters wich don't have permision to ad extra weight just because they are using convencional rest by the rules. Just I can't believe it can be possible. I'm so sorry Bill but is so ease pass the ball to others.
Robert
I have explained the rule clearly not passing it to others or anyone... good night
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
You been explained the rule clearly no doubt about that, but you did't answer my question and I do not why.
Thank you very much my friend. Goog night. Have a nice dreams.
Robert
Wrabf have comfirmed above rule changes are immediate.
I also wish to advise that i will be running this event and not shooting it.
My International shooting days are done after 15 amazing years.
So it is better for me to concentrate on running the event smoothly while u guys, girls and juniors concentrate on qualifying.
Bill Collaros Australia
"Shoot to Thrill"
As we get closer to this event, i can confirm we have the medals and certificates in hand, also targets have been ordered.
THANKS TO TARGET RIFLE AUSTRALIA
I have decided it is best if i do not shoot, as Match Director it is more important that i ensure everything runs smoothly.
