Brisbane LRBR ????

Can anyone advise if LRBR competitions are still being held on the Belmont range in Brisbane?

I have not been able to find any Brisbane based 1000yd BR results for a considerable period of time.

The reasons for my interest are manyfold.

Firstly, if Belmont has been holding 1000yd BR matches this year, I would like to invite any competitors (who shot as per IBS rules) to (if they wish) provide their results for inclusion in our Australian ExtraVision – Optimus Projectiles 1000yd BR Postal Matches and subsequently these results will also be forwarded to the Virginia 1000yd BR Club as part of the Australian/USA 1000yd International Postal Match comparisons.

Secondly, if Brisbane LRBR competitors have introduced IBS 600yd BR, likewise( if they approve), we would be delighted to include their results in the ongoing Australian 600yd BR Postal Match results.

Send all results to dg1048@yahoo.com.au

If however, 600yd BR has not been trialled in Brisbane and if there is interest in doing so, (thanks to the initiative and dedication of a number of North Queenslanders and NRAA Director Mr Bruce Scott), we now have ample supplies of the recently updated 40% official IBS 600yd BR targets for distribution across Australia to interested NRAA clubs and or members.

If a sample (or additional) targets are required, please free to make contact via the following.

Email dg1048@yahoo.com.au

Or via pm.

Additionally, the Narromine Dubbo Rifle Club would like to extend an invitation for any interested Brisbane LRBR competitors to attend the 1st Australian 600yd BR Championships and the 2017 Southern Cross 1000yd BR Championships which will be held between the 16th – 20th August 2017.

If interested in attending and if additional information is required, please use the above contact means.

Hi, LRBR has a club in Brisbane called Brisbane 1000 yards Benchrest Club. A new website is under construction as we speak and the comp is run by Vince Vaina. ( vince.vaina@gmail.com ).

We shoot on the 3rd Sunday of every month at the QRA Brisbane 1000 yards range on Electronic targets. We had our State finals lasts month. The club captain is Stuart Elliot. We shoot light & heavy class, light gun shoots 3 target of 5 shoots with a warmup before each target. HG shoots 2 targets of 10 shoots with warm up before each target.

Attached is the target we use.

g'day watrob

can you elaborate if all shoot marked target (non IBS rules) or some shoot blind (as per IBS rules)?

as can be seen in our domestic postal results, we allow different categories for blind, marked and 308/223 competitors.

only blind results are sent to America for the international 1000yd BR postals which have been running since 2009.

I will update all results following the SCC 1000yd BR Championships and the inaugural Copperhead Australian 600yd BR Championships which will be held next week at Narromine Dubbo.

also, if you can provide a postal address we would be delighted to send a sample IBS 600yd BR target for Brisbane competitors to checkout and discuss.
