What a great contest in F-Open!! Craig McGowan finished without dropping a shot in the Queens https://www.nraa.com.au/nqra-queens-2019-results/ and only 1 point dropped in the Grand Agg!! Probably a record I would think. His shooting included a 60.9 at 900m, also probably a record. Steve Lazarus bagged a 60.10 at 800m and was in a large group of shooters close behind Craig at the finish. Congrats to all winners .

Yes Congrats to everyone. Norm Cross took FSA for the second year running, well done mate.
Craig also had 60.10 in there Alan.

Incredible results from all.

..Craig also had 60.10 in there Alan..

Yes at 500m - I saw that. I judged the 60.9 at 900m as more worthy of mention - its so much harder to get Xs at 900m/1000yds.

Craig, when are you going to give us a rundown on the 5 days of competition. And more importantly, the social activities on the range?

[DenisA]

Craig any phots floating around. I heard the moon was out.

[Tim N]

Well done Craig, and others who were close by!

[Craig McGowan]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the kind words. I will give a run down on the five days of festivities when I get home. I was up at 2:30 for the long drive home.

It is not too often that I get to shoot with Cairns crew, so it was a privilege to come aware with the silverware from some of the top F Open shooters in the country. It was also great to catch up with arguably the best two wind coaches in the country. I will put up some pictures tonight of “van” that one of them turned up in.

Gotta run. I have 7 hours more to drive.

Well done Craig.
