Yeh Barry, Murphy's partner Luck of the Draws can be a real piece of work. Sure makes shooting fun. Murphy and L of D sure prevent the big head syndrome.

I don't think a shrew can ever be tamed, but we are all up for the challenging ride. It would be boring otherwise, just putting holes in paper.

It would seem Rod and Mark have a lot in common.

Rod deep in thought for the start of the longs. Which Barrel????

Well my mouth it's too big . Just crashed with a 57.2. Everyone who shot last shot very high scores as the wind went dead. Second down had a change from a right wind to a left wind to nothing! Brian Ahern got his down befor the change . I couldn't match him and copped a change on the last 4 shots hence 3 5 's. Cruel sport ! I'm out of the race now ! Just here for social and personal best now !

Lowell Tillack dropped 3

Bob Pedersen, G Oates , G Mincham, John Tracey, Michael Singleton, and Lindsay Crombie the only 60's at 900.
Myself, Andrew Burns, Brent Noble, McGowan, Rigby,all hate ourselves for dropping one in relatively benign conditions.....ie most wind knobs on zero.
Josh Reid, Jenni H, Mike Henry, Lowell Tillack , Meichelle Knudsen dropped two.
Lots of 58's in FTR, and only arid Mahon on 60. Wild Dog down 4

Hey Plumbs 7
Never give up!
I once finished a shoot 1 range early as I thought I couldn't finish in the top few (and I was soaked), turns out I should have shot as I might have got a 3rd place.
I'll never know
Still you are at a great range you may as well enjoy it

Looks like we could get exciting finishes in F-open and F/TR tomorrow. Everyone down to 7th place in Open could do it and in F/TR any of the top 4, particularly when Mark F is in 4th place! I wish I was there just to watch it as it happens. The forecast I have says a headwind, moderate strength. I hope you all shoot well.

Hey Alan
If conditions get tough the winner could be further down the list!
Time and chance happens to all, that's what makes it interesting

Late press for me, but well done Shane, Your elevation must be working well. I see Rod gave it a nudge at the longs,
