Michael, it would be great if you and Liam can make it. Still looking at things like junior prizes (ie a years supply of Maccas, just kidding we all know you would eat most of it ) also vet trophies etc. Just a matter of what we can organise. Anyway, we will be putting the bite on anyone we can for a good cause, a bipod would be nice

Cheers

There has been a bit of interest expressed about having a fun shoot on the Sunday morning after the PM on the Saturday, maybe 900 yards?

Let us know if interested.

Cheers

Well tomorrow is the day, the range looks great, heaps of prizes and have booked near perfect conditions. Northerly winds in the morning changing to a southwesterly in the arvo.

I hope your meeting is a success Danny. The best way shooters can show their appreciation is to turn up and shoot. A bit far for me, but have a good day.

Well our PM has been held, thank you to those that supported us. We still have to do the final figures but it looks like we raised about $800 for Stay Residential Services.

Numbers were low which was disappointing as we had some good prizes etc. We ended up with 3 in TR, 3 in FA, 3 in FB and 3 in FO.

Thank you to Ron and Ross who travelled from Wangaratta and provided a faultless marking team. Also thank you to Terry Hickey, Angus Gardner, Paul Gustafsson, Rod Davis and Robert Bant who made the effort to attend.

Thank you also to Maree Sandford (CEO of Stay), Christine Elliot (Quality Manager of Stay) Bryan Gardiner and Sean Haines (clients of Stay) for their support and provision of morning tea and a great lunch.

Conditions were interesting, with a variable breeze which kept everyone on their toes.

Final results,

TR A Terry Hickey 144.10, TR B Angus Gardner 143.10, TR C Greg Gunn 138.7.

FA Danny Sandford 169.10, Paul Gustafsson 169.6, Steve Ludvig 167.6.

FB Jayden Duncan 165.6, Arnold Kelly 158.7, Rod Duncan 157.3.

FO Grant Hornell 177.7, Rod Davis 176.10, Robert Bant 169.11.

Only 2 possibles were shot, well done to Rod Davis 60.4 @ 500 yards and Grant Hornell 60.1 at the last 600, both in F Open.

Cheers

Danny
