Re: been to the range.
Sounds like a good day Sean and not a bad score in tricky conditions.

Re: been to the range.
Yeah better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick right. Have won a couple of ranges at some opm's and they help pay for the event.
Well I'd better get to trimming cases and preparing for the NSW Queens in a couple of weeks.

Re: been to the range.
Good to hear your back getting some trigger time. I have had some success of late at the shorter ranges. Bought another omark from one of the guys at the club with a properly heavy barrel. Won 300 yards only dropping 2 points and shooting my first possible with a 60.4 But came crashing back to earth the next week at 500. Lead the other F class shooters in the first stage but couldn't keep it up i the second, in tough conditions with lots of little flicky direction changes.

Good work both of you!
Must feel nice to put a possible down on paper.

Re: been to the range.
Yep sure was, I have been so close on so many occasions and also have called the 5 as a pulled shot. Never as the last shot though. Don't worry Lonerider one day will come.

Well done Sean - keep plugging away and the scores will climb.
And nose dive, which is shattering - but then they climb and stay there.

Re: been to the range.
300 today
absolute shocker
couldnt get comfortable on the mound
couldnt get the sight picture to clear
very light wind,fast mirage.
shooting at a blurry blob doesnt make for a good score.
82.2
but...thats shootin for ya.
even wore me lucky green undies,but it didnt help
