As long as it pleases the B & C graders as that is who they seem to be trying to please some supposed "State Championships" in Australia. #-o


Here's hoping the 2021 Queen's reverts to the proper format. It's too nice a range to not take the event seriously.

I hope so as well. It would be a shame to see yet another Queens become a local fun OPM where few serious competitors travel interstate to.

Had thoughts of attending this one, hoping for better weather than the last time I went there in 2018. But then I find it's the same weekend as our QRA Juniors PM which I like to support, it usually has a good roll up and may rob some of the shooters tossing up with the idea of going south. Then there's the state Fclass trials the weekends before and after, and then I see Krongsbergs mentioned, so not this time... But I hope they get enough for a decent competition!

If it were to be shot on Hexta or manual, I would definitely put the money and time into travelling down. I've just had too much frustrating experience shooting on Kongsberg.

I actually changed clubs from a Kongsberg club 20 mins away to a Hexta club 1h 15m away with tolls. It was worth every cent and minute.

I was really hoping someone from MDRA would chime in and quell the fears. From what I have heard and been told by some high up in the MDRA they are making every step to ensure the ETs work as best as that system can. Including fully refurbishing them to the current maintenance that Canberra RC use and gaining knowledge from them. I for one have been stung in the past from these targets at Malabar and have sworn not to shoot a comp on them again, but from what I understand the work that is going into making these work as they should I have no reservations shooting a Queen's on them.

Hi all, I can confirm that the MDRA have taken ownership of maintenance and are refurbishing all targets to top standards. There has been a committee set up to facilitate this, and they have been working closely with both Konsberg overseas and Canberra RC. The people on this committee are very competent and I do have full confidence that the system will be at a top standard for the Queens.
I thoroughly enjoyed shooting on manual targets for the first time last year, but, I am so looking forward to shoot and catch up with friends that I am not missing this.
Cheers
Daniel

Looking forward to it mate - COVID may interrupt a few things but this year should at least be better on the competition front.

Just wondering Tim, is the range and surrounds in a red zone or Orange zone. Don't want to do 2 weeks quarantine if I go.
UPDATE; just checked, it's considered a RED zone so 2 weeks quarantine if i went. So No not going.

Well that’s a shame, I guess there won’t be many from Victoria.
I hope your Queen’s is on this year as I’m looking forward to shooting there for the first time.

If its an easterly then 30kph is fine at Anzac. However, if its not an easterly....

Im one of the CSOs for the event. Our objective is to have the range open by 8am.

This depends on the headland clearance and the safety staff arriving on time.

I believe the zero range will be open for 30mins, from 8am.

Good, i'm leaving home at 7, I am sighted in for 500m start, but any range at all will make me happy at this point :)
