Good to see the NRAA on the front foot and putting our sport out there.

Calibrated by professional weights and scales company at a cost to the VRA. Checked annually before the Queens series. Tolerances (I think +- 1 gram) are listed on the certificate issued which is available on the range for anybody to see.

Alan, the VRA has always had a certified set of scales and a trigger weight and these are available for the use of members. They are always with me when I am officiating on the range. I would have thought that most VRA members knew that. Certainly all who attended the VRA are familiar with them. Can...

I use the scales at my local butchers. Check first but the advantage is that they are around at 6:00am when nobody else is about. Of course you need to develop a relationship with them but you get to eat much better quality meat that way than by buying at the supermarkets.

There is a contingent of Aussie markers, Range Officers and Butts Officers heading over to assist with the running of this event.

Range accessibility is abysmal. We can’t do much about the geography but it would help if ranges were open. It only takes 2 people, 1 RO and 1 shooter, plus access to the range register. We could learn a lot from the SSAA on that one. Why does an NRAA RO need to know the ins and outs of competition...

Quiet day on our range today. A number of regulars were doing GF type activities.

Thank you Bob. You really did make change happen for the good of our sport.

Too be honest all the details are a bit vague. The owner had some age on him and is showing it. I will give him Scott’s details and we will go from there. Apparently he is a member of North Arm. Just don’t wan
t to see them handed in and destroyed.
Thanks to all
Peter

Thanks Scott.
Currently he and I are in Nth Queensland and I am not sure when he is heading back to the Sunshine Coast. I will give him your details.
Peter

Thanks Scott, he doesn’t really want to give them away but he wants a good home for them. I don’t think money is a real issue

Unfortunately not matching. History not known. Details are a bit vague.

Had an approach from a friend tonight seeking my help. He has two no4 SMLEs as issued (1944 vintage) and a couple of bayonets and some original leather ammo pouches. All legal and registered to him. He wants to get rid of them but would like them to go to somebody or some group that would appreciate...

There is Government money available for those who are selected in overseas teams but generally you have to apply for it. If shooters (whether TR or F-Class) are going to sit back and wait for the gravy train then they can forget it. Start with contacting your State Sport and Rec department and then ...

Sorry, should have mentioned shooting starts at 10.00 am tomorrow at 900 yards and 1000 yards will start at 11.45 am
