OK David
Then NQRA valid for bonus points as well seeing as we are the reverse seeing 30+ C then heading south!
Not going to give that bloody Rod Mahon any starting handicap that is for sure!!

As an ex Cairns shooter I will share a tip I would like you to pass to my old club mates Dave and Marty. Just load .5gns higher than your usuall node to suit the cool wet conditions in Brisbane.

As a fellow southerner, I wiil share a tip. If you are coming from Tassy, Vic or S.A, you will need to drop your loads 1.5gns down from your norml loads to account for the extreme heat you will experience up in tropical QLD. :wink:

Great tip Rod,
But how do you load the powder charge when the powder is all one solid frozen block? :(
Might just cut it up into lengths like cordite. Seven, 1.5" strips should be just the right amount! :P

Rod that's way too fine an adjustment for the epicyclical swerve. :mrgreen: :lol: I reckon Norm's about right and should patent the process. Shane, I have not seen Rod Mc, but I'm sure he will be trying. It should be a meeting to remember for those guys and gals participating.

Ok I had this stashed away in off topic to keep it on a down low ! But here were the results for the 2015 Ipswich OPM . Cam didn't drop a shot! Julie only 1 point!

Just show how close the competition was at time , 2nd 600 m

I won't be attending as work is busy at the moment . Have to make hay while the sun shines .
Good luck to all . I'll enjoying watching the results from home . Best of luck! Regards Graham.

Okay fellas, you're not doing too bad but its only a few days away now and time to ramp up the sledging. Its time to start calling WA sand gropers, SA crow eaters, NSW cockroaches, Queensland banana benders, N Qld cane toads, and Victoria heroes :D :D .
