G"day Brett,
Job well done on the weekend mate.!!
I just noticed in the HV tally that you have Michael Conway down as not shooting 2014 in Melbourne and I took his gear there for him and he definitely shot there.

PS any chance you could forget mine.!! LOL it was a shocker.

Another great shoot with close results in the end. For those who are interested my equipment list as follows:
Sporter - Mod 2 Brno with Lilja barrel, Leupold Fixed 6X
LV - Falcon with Maddco barrel, March 40X
HV - Falcon with Rock Creek barrel, March 40X

All rifles smithed here in Australia.

Hope to see you all at the next shoot.

Cheers
Chris

The results from melbourne are quite different to what I expected but then I understand conditions were pretty terrible for everyone. Congratulations to all those who made the top three in each event,and also to everyone else for a terrific effort.
To not come home with a winning score is no shame as on the day anyone can win and every one of you are winners. Dont forget that!
Melbourne is a very difficult range at the best of times and even world champions have suffered there so keep your powder dry and lets get stuck into Silverdale in April. I am sure it will be another tough day at the office but then nobody would expect anything else. Congratulations to you all. A terrific effort in tough conditions.

G"day All,
Melbourne put on a fine show of weather and conditions and it showed in the varied results compared from Sydney.
As a few have said its anyones show on the day.
John Harrison was a worthy winner in HV and shows up at a lot of shoots.
It can go any way depending on the day,John used the same outfit for light and shot well but didn't make the top ranks, goes to show we are all in with a chance.
Good to see everyone enjoying themselves and furthering the sport of rimfire benchrest here in OZ.

Hi Nic, great to hear and see an Octagon working well, a 249-18 1st target H/V

what did you use for L/V ?

cheers dave

Dave
John Harrison's gun has an Octagon in it as well.
I find it a good barrel but it doesn't like to be cleaned to often, loves it dirty.

Hi Col,
The match your are talking about was not the Nationals it was only a Vic RBA Shoot. The nationals for 2013 were shot in Sydney.
Cheers
Chris

Hey Chris just a question what stocks r u running in ur hv and lv ???

Hi Scott,
The stock on the HV is one I got from Ken Noye. The LV is a carbon fibre stock not sure of the brand I pick it up from a mate who couldn't remember where he got it from.
Cheers
Chris

Air-Rifle 2 day old Rapid Air Weapons BM500 LEUPOLD Golden Ring 36x SCOPE

What does FM stand for in the results ?

First Miss

Thanks for that Bill and Don so Jaegon Peet who got a 250 is listed at 1 for his FM this is talking about the dot that was missed right ?
Dig yes DFU was my aim before going into the comp (Don't F Up) but I lost my way on the second target when I but the front flags tail behind the support post.

Thanks for that Brett.

So all I have to do to completely stump the scorer is hit all the complete dots out of my targets then ?
Thanks for clearing that completely up for me . I really need to read that rule book more throughly.
I wonder if anyone has ever shot a 250 with twenty five dots that would be a fine target wouldnt it.
Would it ever be possible?

Hi Ben anything is possible ! My highest card was a 250.22 which I still have the card on the beer fridge as something to spur me on to the perfect card !

Scott thats certainly some fine shooting there I am sure you will the perfect score a good crack, I suppose the 250.25 is the Mt Everest of target shooting.
kind regards Ben
