To the many shooters who DIDN'T make it to Corryong, I have to say it was your loss. What a great range, and the surrounding scenery is magnificent. Thanks mostly to Paul and Tracey Deehan, it was a very well run and enjoyable event. As an example here is a photo of the two main trophies - these scopes are some of the finest trophies I have seen. Well done Paul and Tracey.
Weather was cool and cloudy with some wind on Saturday, then cloudless, calm and mild on Sunday - one of the most pleasant days I have experienced in my shooting career.
Full results are on the Match Rifle Website. Thanks to Sue Weisser for the photos and stats.
We must try to have this event again next year, and this time turn up in decent numbers, plus we need to give Paul and Tracey more support - they have no other members in their club to help. Closer to the time, perhaps we can offer them some help with things like trophies, catering, and preparing the range.
There was unfortunately a clash with a couple of other Victorian events which didn't help numbers, but I'm sure we'll find a suitable date next year. Perhaps we can try to find a date on this forum with input from F-Class, MR, BR and not forgetting local events in Corryong which can put pressure on accommodation.
