You should have told him one of your jokes, Tony. That would have wiped the smile from his face.

I did Yogi .. I did tell him one of YOUR lame jokes

But he still shot well ... and he will be back.

Had an e-mail yesterday from one of them saying how they are still smiling at the experience and cant wait to return for some more.

All good stuff .. even with your lamest of jokes!!!

Well, we just got our first new member from just our Training Day advertising .. he didnt even do the course .. he just joined.

And he’s FO

Advertising guys … it does work!

Hello again

Well Nov 13th is all booked up ..... And another 3 wanting to come and see what we do as they have not heard of F Class or Fullbore before (this is just through our advertising)

Interestingly we have 2 shooters coming from St Albans in Victoria forour Nov training day. So can anyone supply Contact names and clubs near to this location so we can pass them on???

Tony,
Your St Albans recruits could give me a call on (03) 9497 3829 at work, if they wish . My club does not have any open shooters at this stage -- all of our F class shooters are Fstd, but they would be well looked after. We have club rifles set up for F class, so they would not need any gear to start off.
By the way, Stawell long range PM was quite an experience. I finished up shooting Fstd using the 155 Sierras, and they did go 1200 yds o.k.
I was squadded with some NSW shooters and I was very impressed with their 6.5 x 284s --- I might have to build one.
Regards John

You just stick with your .308 John - you do quite well enough with that!

Seriously, it would be a pleasure to have you shooting in Open. If you do go with a 6.5 I'd highly recommend a Barnard action. I hope to see you next weekend at Bendigo.

BTW I'll try to get the results from Stawell to put in the results page of the website.

Alan

Thanks Alan,
but please don't get me thinking of buying another action -- you know where that leads, and I really don't need another one anyway. Besides that, the credit card is still hurting from the 8 1/2 - 25 scope that I thought I needed the other day.
I will be at Bendigo next week, God willing, and we will have 96 years old Billy Gray with us. I hope you don't mind if he shoots off a portable bench.
It would be no good telling him that he can't, because he wouldn't be able to hear you anyway. Look forward to seeing you and Bruce & co.
John

Thanks John i'll make sure it goes into their documentation folders along with VRC info.

I forgot to say that this next training day will see our first Female student



Her and her partner are both booked in and are visiting the range this Saturday to see what its all about, they are both shooters but would like to get into F Class and are very keen to join a SARA club.

We will have FS and FO rifles on hand and will give out the contacts for all the local clubs so they can do the rounds and see where they fit in.

Well we just had our last, for this year, training day and it was a smashing success with only positive responses and comments from all our ‘seminar students’. As mentioned before this training day saw our first female student and she not only showed up some of the guys but she also won the kindly donated ‘Varmint Scope’.

A very happy lady. (who will now be soon applying for a firearms license)

Every one had a great day with many laughs enjoyed by all but most importantly these people learned something they didn’t know … F Class and Fullbore

Best ‘Student’ Quotes for the day:

The 1000 yard Demo was amazing…. ( F- Class and Fullbore demonstrated)

What the hell is “3-o-clock LEFT”???? …. (raised a lot of humor .. at my expense!)

I have been shooting a long time and I didn’t know a fraction of what I learned today!

“I won the Scope!!!!!!”




For the record .. we had people come from as far away as Mt Gambier and Melbourne.

Next one … Feb 2006

Well done TQ
RB

Bloody Hell Tony!! U and your wind direction

I'm gonna get a big clock and attach a spike to it. Then I'm gonna stick it in the mound to left of you...that should help

LOL Mate ... the 3-o-clock thing was from the previous course but Harro told them about it in his wind reading segment ... so, with all the people i coached if i told them to aim at 3-o-clock they would point to the left .. just for confirmation ... LOL

It was all in good humor ... i guess


Buggers!!!!!!

Tony......I can see a special award at the club presentation this season. Might involve some sort of timepiece

oops ... they would point to the right!!!!!!

LOL see .... thats how easy it is.

Whats this Simon .. i'll get a nice watch
