Good news, I was hoping the shoot would return. It sounds like those shooting at Coonabarrabran will be driving straight from Coona to Brisbane for the Queens lead up 2 days later. I might try F/TR for the short ranges (1000, 1100 and 1200)
I will be bringing some extra shooters with me.

It's tempting Rob though I'd thought I'd give the QRA Queens a miss this year. Major obstacle is that the reloading fairies are particularly lazy in my part of the world.

Hope it's a success.

Rob
are you going to the QLD queens in particular the OZ F class team trial on the monday. so shoot Coona 11 and 12 trials in Bris on the 13. maybe they can change trial date to after the Queens. cheers Paul.

It is not possible to run the Qld selection trial after the Queens as the Australia Match is being run.

We work with the date provided that best fits in with events already running.

Coona was a great weekend ! I can recommend the Steak Sangas at luchtime, and the cold beer at days end

Thanks Mick...

Ranges shot were 7&800m, 1000,1100,1200&1500yds. Shooters were mainly f class S/O and match rifle.

There was a fair bit of wind but personally i learned that one of my 308 loads keeps accuracy & elevations out to 1200 yds, the max i tried them at ....

The exotic rifles shot best of course. (7mm saum with 180 bergers & 260 ackley with 140gr, 308 with 230 bergers)

I will probably go back for the comp at the end of september....

+1 for Coona, a great weekend was had by all that attended. =D>

I just wonder if John P will be able to find his hole in the tree canopy again. :lol:

John was maxed out for elevation at 1500, so he found an aiming point in a tree about 60' above the target :-({|=

then just could not stop laughing as he continued to lob his 10 whooping great 220g 308's into the target, $\:D/$ I think he was still laughing on his way home.
