A great weekend at Wagga SSAA, both days were wonderful weather both for shooting and for just sitting around having a gas bag. (gun talk)
Saturday was very relaxed with numbers down a little the atmosphere was wonderful people just had a no stress shoot with lots of good scoring.
Mirrage played games with everyone, one minute you could see bullet holes the next no chance. I must say that the factory class has some very classy rigs with truck axle barrels. There was some chatter that perhaps a HV class is a better discription but as it is Wagga's call after all.
The custom class was as always hotly contested with some first class gear on the line for the trophy.
Sunday was a mixed bag of conditions with varying degree's of ability to see the target, which was the same for all of us.
The entire shoot come down to the last target and everyone was a buzz with checking targets and discussing tactics.
Some very formitable teams are about now with nick and tyson, paul and grant teaming up for shoots i think this is a great way to get the most out of both persons experience.
I gave some shot's out of the big red rifle (300ack) to some new shooters on the line and i think they may have the bug so hopefully we can keep them.
Wagga SSAA put on a great shoot and as it the case every year we leave saying (what the f*&^%$) about the conditions at 500m as they are so unpredictable.
Current shooters please remember if there are new people standing around and you are in your warmer target offer them a shot you just never know they may be the next rifle on the line and we all enjoy this sport but longevity requires new shooters all the time.
Oh and Congratulations to all the winners of the many classes the top 5 shooters on both days had to consistantly shoot reasonable scores to place.
PS Buttsy hope you are not to badly injured after your fall over on the line.
cheers Les
shooting well is more a mental control of your thoughts than just pulling the trigger........
