Sunday 23rd July
A lovely day at Dairyville Range for Round 2 of the George Joannidis Field Rifle Shoot, which is always fun. The match was 10 shots deliberate unsupported at 50m then 10 shots rapid fire at 50m, followed by 10 shots kneeling, 10 shots standing deliberate and 10 shots standing rapid at 25 metres. The rapid fire sequence is 10 shots within 60 seconds.
There were only 3 points separating first from third:
Darren S 423/500
Derek B 421
Ben G 420 (a great result for one who hasn’t shot for a while)
Alex C 328
Lainey B 323
Col F 319
Bruno K 285
The highest score from Round 1 on 15th April was 380, also by Darren, who has clearly been putting in a few sneaky practice sessions.
There were also two catch-up targets for the Ole Smokey match – Lainey B on 492/500, and Col F on 478/500.
Our next shoot is on SATURDAY 19th August at MACKSVILLE SSAA Range, which will be Round 2 of the R O Davies Light Rimfire match. This match is for any rimfire rifle at 50 metres, but with the telescopic sight set at no more than 6.5x.
