FESTIVAL OF SYDNEY

Matt P · Post by **Matt P** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 8:14 pm

The good people running this event have added FO to the prize list.
So NSW FO shooters please lets support this event because if we don't it will be another event where there will be FS and no FO.
It's a 2 day shoot Sat 27th Jan 300,500,600 & 600 and Sun 28th Jan 500,500,700 & 800.
I'm told there is range medals and agg medal but no Badges due to late inclution but all going well (good support) next year there will also be badges.
For any further in-fo you can call David Asper on 98762597

I'll be there anyone else ????
Thanks and a happy new year to you all.

Thankyou to Ben & Steve for making the effort to support the MDRA, that made a grand total of three FO shooters which is absolutely pathetic to say the least.
There are two ranges with-in 1-1.5 hrs of Malibar and many more with in 3hrs that have between 10-20 FO shooters, you know who you are, and only 3 can turn up and support firstly the MDRA but much more importantly FO, if you lot don't get off your arse and start supporting prize shoots, FO will be a thing of the past and all those expensive rifles will be good for nothing other than converting to FS or varmit rifles.
It's not like there is nothing on offer, there are range medals and $100 for 1st in the Agg. What more will it take !!!!!!! :evil:

Very pissed !!!!!! :evil:

Scores
1st Day Agg
Steve Ribgy 362
Ben Ferrier 361
Matt Paroz 361

All shooting 6BR's
Conditions and scores were good for the 300 but went down hill rapidly for the 500 and 2x600 as a southerly ripped up the coast there was between 5-8 minutes at the 500 & 600's.

Matt,

Sorry to hear about the poor FO turnout. Well I hope you can make it to the Vic Queens again, because I believe the field will be bigger again than last year. If everyone's rifles are ready (we're counting on you Mr Grenfell) there should be 4 from my club alone!

There's a pattern in the results of the last two days (at Castlemaine and Sydney). The only one who didn't get got by the wind was Wayne McFarlane with his 284! The trouble with those BRs is they're so damned accurate and nice to shoot, people seem to leave the 6.5s and 7s at home and hope for good conditions.

Close enough,723 actually. Who gives a rats anyway,three shooters isn't a comp,just practice at different ranges.
