ACT Queens

[Tim N]

Hi All,
Only a bit over 3 weeks to go till the ACT Queens.
I'm planning to get there, hopefully there will be a good turn out!
Better get your holidays approved or do a quick build up of brownie points to get the OK
I guess it will be on ETs?
Either way it's good to get away shooting.
So who's going?

[ben_g]

I’m in. 3 days only for me.

The burning question, 6mm the whole way Tim??

Maybe, and that's a big maybe
I think it's nearly sorted out...

Hey Tim,

A man with your skills should be able to do it easily with the 6mm.

I may even attend with a 308 to keep you honest.

Cheers.

[Tim N]

So Ben
How about we shoot the lead up with 6mm only?

[ben_g]

I wish I could make the lead up. Queens only for me.

I’m planning to give my Dasher a run on the Friday and reevaluate from there. If it’s not Sydney esque conditions I’ll probably shoot all ranges with it.

[Tim N]

All good
See you then

Maybe you should give us mere mortals a chance Tim, I have a very accurate 17hmr you can borrow

Getting lucky with a couple of wins doesn’t quite elevate me to immortal.
Although it may help with the mind games

On a side note I see only 2x 800 for the Queen’s , 2x 500 and 5x 600
A 6mm may do well
I’d prefer 5x 800 and 2x 600 (with a saum)

Not long to go now
I’m preparing my 6x47 brass loaded with some old 115 Dtacs which go well at 900 yds.

[Tim N]

If I need to do fouling shots will this be possible at the range or will I have to go next door to the ssaa?

[Leftysrule]

Is anyone going from Northern NSW
I need to get a barreled action to Matt P

Day 1 of the Rolf has started out with light showers
We had a brief pause for the locals who appeared to never have seen it before.
I thought they were being soft but Sharpie assured me they were actually being sensible.
My 6mm project is looking a little iffy at the moment but I’ll persist.

Late news for the day
We got wet but all ranges were completed

I will make a point of catching up with the next generation of F Open shooters I haven’t met who are doing very well
Well done R Bailey F Open and Don Laughton in FTR
I’m searching for a copy of the book of most believable excuses for target shooters but alas it’s nowhere to be found... that doesn’t help my current standing

This will see who has their gear tuned
Quite a few 89s shot but I haven’t seen a 90 on the first range
2x 800m 15 shots
