Hello a J R
during this year i have made three trips south of Mackay and have traveled many Kms chasing the Fly
since September last year i have done 36,000 Km and of that about half would be for shooting the fly
like every one else i have had good days and bad days --- with some high scores and some small groups --
and also some very low targets with huge groups -- it depends on how well you can read the conditions -
every different range i shoot on has vastly varied wind speeds and sometimes the flags don't tell a visitor
what he wants to see -- so it always a learning process for me --
i have shot 7 500m matches this year have scored 1372 points on those targets with a total of 16 Flys
also shot my first rimfire 200m match at the bay and collected 2 more flys
I know that my 6.5 x 47 rifle can shoot better than that its the nut behind bolt that lets me down
and only more trigger time and more matches will help me improve
i would like to thank all the organisers and competitors i have shot against this year and hope to see
you all at the matches next year

Every Shot inside the Eight Ring would be GREAT
