Hi All,
            Please note, the format of the Nationals is different this year to the previous two years.

We will be shooting Heavy Gun the first day (Saturday), then Light Gun Sunday and Rimfire Monday.

The reason for this? In the beginning when Fly started out, there was no Light Gun!

More details soon!

Cheers,

Dave.

Sent and only 2 of us from WA this year :(

Hi Dave please put me down for all 3 classes XC heavy Brx light as well as an XL shirt
Cheers
Bob Coultetr

Bob, please email me at actflyshoot@hotmail.com regarding a shirt.

Dave just checking on the Saturday Heavy Fly shoot. I assume that we are shooting 5 not the 10 targets you mentioned on one previous occasion that you would have liked to have run for this shoot. Is that correct?

Regards Rob

Hi Rob, correct, the event will only be a 5 target match each day, whilst we would have liked to run a 10 target match on the Saturday it is just not going to be possible, the main concern was compromising the success of the Nationals to run the 10 targets on Saturday, currently we have  63 nominations and the event is still 5 weeks away, we will probably be running 4 details and 10 targets  would make that extremely difficult.

Thanks for asking the question.

Cheers.

Dave.

Hi All,
           Please see attached the list of competitors that have thus far entered the 2020 Fly Shoot Nationals.

If your name isn't on the list and you think it should be, please contact me.

Cheers.

Nationals_2020_Competitor_List.pdf

awesome Colin F is in ..that means 3 of us from WA

Hi All,
           Currently we have 83 entries for Heavy Gun, 79 for Light Gun and 73 for Rimfire, with 91 individuals nominated and a few of our regulars that I haven’t heard from, things are looking good.

Each day will be 4 details, and we can run up to 26 benches easily so if we get to above 100 competitors on any one day we may have to bring in a wait list for entries.

I will post the updated competitor list in the next couple of days, I would suggest nominating now if you haven’t as yet to avoid disappointment.

Cheers.

Dave

A quick update. 99 individuals entered, 89 for HG, 83 for LG and 74 for Rimfire.

Cheers

Dave
