Well done Tony, and congrats to the other winners. Thanks for keeping us updated. Bruce, I may well return to SA one day, but only upon the pro viso that the compound is locked.
Ps, I hear that you normally lock yourself inside, once a few unfortunates enter. Haha.

Back home now and very relieved. As Alan says I feel great that the equipment problems I have had lately are well and truly rectified.
What a close finish it was, only a few points covering the top 10 positions, this is just getting too hard. With the weather conditions at Malaba these last 3 days, it was easy to drop back 10 positions with one bad range. One shot a millimetre away would have had Tony Berry, John Peters or Matt Paroz in the lead.
There were around 20 F Open shooters this year, so numbers AND Quality of shooters are definitely on the way up.
Congratulations to Jeff Eppleston, commiserations to Peter Drew in F STD A grade.
Congratulations as well to Jim Bailey for Winning Full Bore.

Congrats Rod and others, but what happened to the website reporting the scores ??, it looks like the nswra or nraa computer has dropped its guts on the last day after a great service on the first 4 days :roll:

Seems there's a wee hiccup there. On Saturday, a friend & I were looking for the result via the menu. I could get to the results & he couldn't. On the other hand, the direct link at the bottom of page one of this thread works every time for me, once you give it time to refresh for later results.

And what a lovely young lady she is, too ! She shot so well, and responded to the " pats on the back" and congratulations with such poise and grace that it's hard to believe she is only 12 years old !
Well done to her dad Steve as well. There is some awesome parenting and mentoring going on there. =D> =D> =D>

NSW grading post McIntosh and Queens

The NSW F Class grading database has been updated after the 137th NSW Championships. See www.nswfclass.com.au

Please report any errors to webmaster.

Congratulations to all winners and losers! It was a great competition and atmosphere and very well attended by F Classers both open and standard. The depth of talent, both young and old shooters, should ensure the sport of target shooting grows.

The wind changes, many of which were forecast, were a sight to behold, especially if you were shooting when they occurred!!

Cheers

Event winner Rod Davies was pleased with his 60-5 at the 2nd 600 metre range on a very tough day at the office
Image
My own 60-5 at the first 600 will be a favourite for me for a long long time, because it won me my first ever Days Aggregate at a Queens
Image
It was a seriously hard days work for everyone.
Image

Still, the views were SPECTACULAR
Image

And our recently returned USA FCWC heroes still had time to reminisce !

All we need now is unfettered access to the zero range so that we may zero our scopes correctly every morning if required :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for posting that video, Tony. I was able to show others the conditions we were shooting in.... I think it was a worthwhile experience ... quite challenging !
