Thanks for that Barry, as I sigh with relief

Thought I would be using my 300yrd comp rounds for sighting

Do you have any idea what time practice will start??

Cheers,

Rhonda

G'Day all,
here are further details to yesterdays FO results for 3/5/600yds


1. W MacFarlane....................95, 98, 93.....286

2. G Hunt................................97, 94, 94.....285

3. B Kneebone.......................97, 89, 96.....282

4. P Read...............................94, 91, 93.....278

5. R Noordeweir....................88, 90, 92.....270

6. A Fraser.............................93, 87, 90.....270

7. G Wells..............................90, 86, 89.....265

The wind was a bit tricky and futher proof that the 6x47 and 7 mm's worked well.
So much so that a famous 6.5 exponent (who recently won a barrel) is rumoured to be considering getting said barrel in 7mm after borrowing a 7mm rifle yesterday
Sorry Alan couldn't help myself

Nevertheless, it gave me more incentive to get my 6x47 built so look out when I retire the .223!


A great day and great event and a very big thanks to the organisers of the shoot; a lot of fun was had by all!

Ned,

Glad you enjoyed it, and looking forward to your 6x47's arrival.

Glenrowan certainly is an excellent event, and after talking to a few club members and officials, I'm hopeful that F-Open will become a permanent part of both OPMs.

I have the full Saturday results, but won't post them on the results page until I have Sunday's as well. In brief, Helen Davies won the Sunday agg in F-Std A, Kay Eland won (again!) in F-Std B, and I won F-Open. In the 2 day agg, Jenny Davies won (in a mother and daughter shoot-off), and of course Kay took F-Std B. The deserving winner of F-Open was Bruce Kneebone - a great effort on debut. We are getting some great new additions to F-Open and I've heard news of several more who will be giving it a try soon.

And there is truth in that rumour about the 7mm Ned, but the key word is "considering" . The 6.5 has been pretty good to me over the last 4 years, so I'd find it quite hard to leave it in the gunsafe...
