Couldn't miss my own clubs pm! With a bit of wind the 800 gets very interesting! Down a hill, across a valley and back up a hill. Remember the ranges are in meters too.

Do you have to polish the top half of the bullet to get them to curve like that???
I haven't worked out my positive trajectory curves for ranges like that yet

Just on one side Dennis! Doing all the way around just counteracts the effect.

Don't the paintballers lick one side to get them to curve slightly around barriers/obstacles...bring back the smoothbores the tanks did!

LMAO........... Gee I'm a wanker, I just realised that all I need to do is loosen the barrel nut and turn the barrel 180 degrees in the action. or I could lay on my back and shoot the rifle upside down.......... But that'd be dumb.

Hi all, is there an actual address for the range or do I just find Ripley Rd and keep an eye out for a sign?
Is the best way down there from the Sunshine Coast to go down the M1, Gateway, M2, M5 and then A5 to Ripley Rd in Lyons?
Cheers.

Yeah thats It Denis. Turn left off the A5 (Centenary Highway) out to Ripley South. Follow it all the way to the end of the bitumen then there will be a tight right hand turn. Continue along the gravel road for about two kilometers then just after the big dam (Lake?) on the left turn left through the gate with the SSAA sign and red flag on it. Long driveway winds through to the rifle club, archery clib SSAA etc. Let me know if you need any more.
