Wayne,
From Seymour go to Euroa and take Euroa/Shepparton Road ( C 366 ) about 4.5km out road does dog leg to right and then again to left. Instead of going to left go straight on into Pine Lodge road ( narrow bitumen ) follow north for about 5 km and you will meet Murchison/ Violet Town road, turn left and about 3/4 km turn right into Pine Lodge road again. Follow for about 12 km and cross Honeysuckle creek. Turn into range is just over creek on right.

Thankyou Barry.

SO what is the count for FO shooters ,3 or 4 or more ? ineed a final count to forward on by tonight ,thanks fellas.

Well because of lack of numbers 2 shooters for one day only and one for 2 days FO will not be catered for ,BUT if you turn up you will be more than welcome to shoot , if enough turn up there will be no range prizes but an agg prize ,personally ime out,i will go FS, i did try , SPREAD THE WORD.

Thanks for trying Paul. But there's plenty of other shoots coming e.g. the Tri-Teams at Bendigo, and 2 day OPM at Horsham. I'll look forward to seeing you and some of your recent F-Open proteges at those events. BTW we had six F-Open shooters at our club shoot on Saturday. After shooting for several years mostly on my lonesome its great to have some regular competition, and nice people too (as all F-Open shooters are!). We actually outnumbered the TR and equalled the FS numbers. So if you keep up the recruitment in your area you can get to the same situation, then its not so bad during the gaps between OPMs.

I was a good turnout with a total of 64 shooters which included 9 F Class. Sadly only one F open person showed up.
What's happening !!!!!!!!!!!
This is my opinion only but unfortunately l believe F Open is going to self destruct in on itself due to lack of or poor turnout numbers. Because of this, many clubs will not cater for it and then it will be only seen at Queens events.
The ones who do try are the same small group only, where are the others!!!!!

Not sure about the others Wayne, But just to correct the numbers you stated there were actually 23 F class standard shooters plus yourself. Numbers are forever increasing and among other things, grading is a huge factor.

Congrats to Gary Hunt (A grade) and Casey Bell (B grade) for taking out the first day with great scores, and Jenny Davies (A grade) and Keith lucas (B grade) for second day honours.

A very good weekend was had by all and after last years non inclusion of B grade, Karramomus club saw the light and included it this year, a decision they will not regret.
