The results I saw were for fullbore a,b,c , f std and f open, no mention of ftr.
In any case i really like the idea of merging fa and fb to stop splitting the field up too much and including f open in opms. I know not everyone agrees but i think its a good idea and makes for better competition in f std. Not sure how i feel about ftr as i have entered more in f open comps lately....

Well I just did that, scored a 4 and it proved fatal, with the ever present Roderick Davies sitting there quietly ready to pounce. AAAAAGGHHHHHH!!!
We are pretty sure that RD is home by a point over Mark Fairbairn and myself on equal points......but the big lizard will get over me coz I finished with a 4.
Did it bring back memories Tony?

Cam, I am deeply scarred emotionally, and was forced to seek solace again at the Eagle Hawk Hotel , which seems well versed in the art of nursing shattered souls
For some reason there seems to be a hundred or more ACT Queens participants gathering there each night. On Tuesday night, for some reason , they just refused to let myself, Davies, Paroz, Ferrara and Fairbairn leave the premises until well after midnight. They were so kind to us that they turned all of the lights off inside for the last hour (so the lights wouldnt hurt our eyes, I guess)
They are very kind and understanding at the Eagle Hawk Hotel and they have apparently had a LOT of experience with shattered shooters around this time of the year
I feel that I am in good hands.

Well done guys, there are some great scores there. Tony, your in great form.
From the pics on the website, it looks bloody cold down there. Its hard to imagine considering I felt the need for a 8:00 swim last night due to the mugginess up here.
I haven't been to Canberra. It looks like it has the potential to be a very tough range.
Looking forward to seeing the tough competition over the next few days. Well done guys.

Just about to start the 800 meters to finish the Lead up
As we lay down to shoot, its Rod by a point to me, by a point to Spencer Dunstall, by a point to Ben F, by a point to Mark F. Then a 5 points or so buffer to the pack headed by Peter Merriman from the ACT who just took the last range (700 mtrs) off Mark Fairbairn on a count back. No 60's in Open but Steve Sharp a great 60-4 in Standard.
Anything might happen here the way the winds are switching !

Also I note there are over 80 fullbore shooters, outnumbering f std by 2 to 1...
so fullbore is alive and well .....

Yeah, the walking dead of the fullbore always awake for a Queens.
