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
