Batemans Bay Fly Results

Hi,

What a great weekend of competition !!  It was cold and slightly breezy, but ideal conditions for this event.  The atmosphere and camaraderie was excellent, we had a terrific dinner out on Saturday night, and there was plenty of good socialising happening around the fires at the range all weekend.

Full Results are here in both excel versions.  Check the tabs along the bottom for all classes.

Well done to all the competitors, it was a terrific weekend.

great result all weekend, Bateman's Bay is certainly attracting large numbers to the shoot. The rimfire event is i think one of the premier events of the year with quality rimfire shooters coming from Sydney and other locations to give it a go. Saturday night at JJ's was a great venue and lots of great discussions took place over a drink or 5.

Our only mishap was Dave Groves was taken to Hospital early Sunday morning with suspected kidney stones so our thoughts go out to you mate to make a speedy recovery. (sorry if i packed your camp swag up wrong i didn't have any instructions)

The food was excellent the marking was nothing short of impressive about 4 to 5 min turn around between details so very well done to the marking crew.

Those who have shot the bay event see's a very well run shoot that is pretty much flawless during the day this only happens with someone steering the ship so congratulations to Anthony for another NSW title  run and won well done.

Look forward to seeing you all again at the next shoot.

Les

Congratulations Anthony and Batemans Bay SSAA Branch on another great shoot, a great time was had by all! Very sad I missed Sunday.

Thanks also to any and all that helped Russ pack up the gear I slackly left lying all over the place...and to Russ for taking my gear home for me. Let me tell you now from experience that kidney stones are no fun, it ended up 3.8mm long but felt line Ayres Rock. All fixed up now though!


Cheers

Holy crap......after looking over the scores I hope  y'all don't embarrass us too bad in September.

Just having a look at the scores from Batemans Bay.... must have been a fantastic weekend of shooting. Great results from a lot of participants with 24 shooters scoring more than 220 in the combined centre fire events.  

I see Peter Cross shot a sub 1" group & Bobby Wright shot a 59.02...Great Shooting!!

Very well done to the place getters particularly Rob in light rifle & to Vince in the heavy. The competition was obviously fierce.

I see 23 shooters scored more than 220 in the Sunday 200 rimfire...I'll mimic Mike Cockcroft...Holy Crap!!
