Being in Brisbane for IRB shoot, I was staying with the Elliott's.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of shooting a 1000 yard BR match at the QRA complex.
This is not my event, and the opportunity was taken up - if it is shooting I will give it a go.
I shot Annie's 300WSM fitted with an 80x March scope. This baby weighs about 36 pounds.

Well, working in the butts in the morning gave me an idea what conditions were like, and we shot two 10 shot groups in the afternoon.
My first was a bit over 12 inches (two flyers saw to that), but the second group was scored at 93.1 and measured 8.20 inches overall.
The experts might sneer at this, but I was happy with it.

Hmm...I was amazed how those bullets cut the breeze over that distance.

Maybe, just maybe, I might have to get one of these built!
