Murray took out the 300 y range from the other nine FS-B competitors, while Liz came 1^st over 500 y. Murray ended up Aggregatate FS-B winner and Liz came 2^nd. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day with friendly camaraderie and good food the order of the day.

Ravenshoe Shooters Shoot Tasmanian Queens 2014

Following their shoot in the winning North Queensland Team’s shoot, Murray & Liz Wilson shot the lead-up to the Tasmanian Queens (The Davis Series) over 6^th and 7^th March 2014. Murray took out 1^st place at 300 yards with 60.04 over Liz with 59.07. Liz also came 3^rdon Day 2 at 700 yards. The whole two days covered 300, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 yards. Liz Wilson took out 3^rd aggregate badge with Murray coming 8^th.

The Queens shoot followed over 8^th, 9^th and 10^th March. Campbell Town Range in Tasmania is renowned for very windy conditions, but the locals said that conditions were not so bad this year. If 13 minutes of wind is benign we’d hate to think what bad conditions were like! Day 1 comprised double 500 and double 600 yards. Day 2 was over double 700 and double 800 yards. A 7.30am start on Day 3 was over 900 and 1000 yards. Murray took out 2^nd Daily Aggregate in the Second Stage. There were no range medals awarded. Murray also took out 3^rd Queens Aggregate and 3^rd overall Grand Aggregate (for the Davis Series and the Queens). Certainly a good result for our Highlanders.

F Class Teams Competition, Tasmania 3 – 5 March 2014

The Australian F Class Teams Competition, comprising 9 teams Australia wide, took place in Campbell Town, Tasmania, over three days in March 2014 prior to the Tasmanian Queens Shoot.

The second shoot at this range was a 15 shot match at 1000 yards and the combination of the two 1000 yard ranges comprised the second match. This was won by North Queensland. The grand aggregate of the two days was won by North Queensland (1433.58 over Victoria’s 1429.51), which gave North Queensland the National F Class Standard Teams Championship, Tasmania 2014.
