Back home from a very tough but enjoyable shoot.
The weather forecasts were for torrential rains, but fortunately, every time we rushed off for the wet weather gear, the rain disappeared quickly.
As others mentioned, the winds were usually quite strong, but with occasional reasonable conditions, interspersed with very tricky changes
With the mixed conditions and very close results in Open class, there were a number of people who could have taken the lead at the end, but I made the most of a lucky break in conditions.
The NSW Queens is one of my favourites, for a few reasons, usually good weather, lush, grassy mounds, interesting conditions, plenty of cheap onsite accommodation and catering, as well as great views, being on the beach 10 minutes from the centre of Sydney.
The new range format is the best of any Queens in Australia, starting at 500 meters before quickly going back to longer ranges on proper targets as all championship shoots should be. It was all very well run once again. All in all, a very enjoyable Queens which everyone should add to their calendar next year.
