Post by: philw on November 03, 2011, 07:53:20 AM
i know I have not been about much  had a lot on

however though I would mentioned ( toot my own horn)

couple of weeks ago I competed in my first ever Nationals 

when I can get some Pics I will post some   as i did not get many  due to the fact that I was also one of the RO's for the event as well as shooting my self,

good news though I got 1 bronze medal and am so stoked at that I got it on a count back as well :) 

there was some amazing shooters there as well as some amazing rifles,  was very cool to see some original as issued .303 sniper rifles.

lol I did not word that well ;)  and thanks mate :)

I mean competing as well

I have shot in State and club matches before, never at that level though,
the Bronze was for the 300m deliberate match,  using my 1918 Lee Enfield .303, ( so it can still shoot hehe )


I found a couple of pics and a vid I got during the 15m rapid fire match.

also if you are interested the Range is the SSAA Monarto Range complex here in South Aust,  it is a large range and we have had 2 world black powder championships there. they were massive shoots. ( i was at the last one  )

I've always wondered why anyone would waste such a perfectly good bag by storing golf clubs in it.    ;D

Makes a great covert gun case.  Plenty of space for ammo and accessories.  Get one with a cover over the top and you can take it almost anywhere.  Carry it through a hotel lobby without a second glance...no matter how much it rattles.
