I have just been talking to the Kiwi shooters at the QLD queens about 1 hr ago about their Queens. They have their Queens in January, so it will clash with the Victoria Queens. Oh well, I might get over there another time for a shoot/family holiday.

The Vic Queens in in April!!!!

In that case, it might be a go. I will see how finances go.

RDavies,
I've had a look on the NZ National Rifle Assocation website and the only ones that jump out are the Oceania games in January 2010 and the F Class nationals in March 2010.
Which event is the one in question??

[RDavies]

Looking at the National Rifle Association, it is the NRA Champs from 12-16 Jan at Trentham range

But do they have F-Class in the January event? I'm wondering if the March event is the big one F-Class.

[RDavies]

Can any Kiwis, or Aussies in the know shed some light on this?

[agro]

I wouldn't mind seeing a copy of their F class rules to see what the restrictions are??

Agro,if you go to NRAA website,look in associates where you will find NZ rifle website,in there go to rules and all will be revealed.

There may also be a calendar of events but if not I think there is an email address on which you could make a request[that's if they have 2010 programed yet] Don't you just love it when you hit the refresh icon in mistake for spell check???? Ray.

Razer,
I have already done that but could not find anything in regards to F class

[Razer]

From what I can make out,NZ is like our FO,rules are any calibre up to 8mm?I could not see any equipment weights etc. I spent 12 years there up to 1981 so my knowledge is now out of date.
On the <www.nranz.com> site there is a calendar of events and the NZ NRA Champs is down for January 12 to 16,2010 BUT they are also down for Trenham 11 to 18th[possible includes lead-up] and on a third club calendar as 8 to 17th?
There is a webmaster contact and I can only suggest you make direct contact to get all relevent info[all 3 variations ]

Razer,
I was hoping that someone here might already have a copy but I've emailed the NZRA website contact for a copy of them just in case.

Have just split the FCWC topic and moved the NZ posts to here.

Regarding the NZ Queens at Trentham (near Wellington), the schedule is shown HERE. Looks like F-Class runs concurrently with the Ballinger Belt series from 13th to 17th January.

As an alternative, the F-Class Nationals will be at Whatawhata (near Hamilton) on March 20 to 21. I suspect that this would have a bigger F-Class entry (over 20 F-Open in 2008) than at Trentham.
