Results for Sunday 18 December 2016

Due to too hot and sticky conditions, definitely not an English weather, the Bisley style shoot was postponed to a time when weather condition will be more “Bisley” like.  Winds were slightly more clement in Ravenshoe today, but mirage was still showing its full strength. Results for double 600yds: Target Rifle – S. Durham 103.13. F Standard – L. Wilson 116.7, M Wilson 109.4. F Open – P. Padgett 113.3. F/TR – B. Gianasi 118.9, C. Allman 110.4, J. Anderson 104.1.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our members, supporters and enthusiasts. 
Next shoot will be on Sunday, 8 January 2017: Double 500. 9am muster, 9.30am start. General Meeting.

Results for Sunday 4 December 2016

Another Sunday with very challenging shooting conditions in Ravenshoe today: very hot with plenty of sun made the mirage very hard to read and the target a guess to see at times; switching winds gusty at times challenged the shooters even more. Results for double 600yds are as follow: Target Rifle - S. Durham (Mareeba) 104.6. F Standard – M. Wood 113.8. F Open – P. Padgett 116.2. F/TR – B. Gianasi 116.2, C. Allman 110.5, J. Anderson 100.4, O. Cox 100.2, S. Hartnett 97.3. A very good shoot for Orion and Sam on their time on the range and shooting a .223.

Sunday, December 11: double 600yds, 10 shots comp. 9am muster for 9.30am start.
