The scores were very high considering the conditions. The Mirage was so bad on the last card that most shooters said they shot "blind" - could not see where the shots went but held off the same they on the earlier targets. We expected to see some shockers as a result but they were suprisingly good.
With my Nightforce 15-55x  scope I was just able to see the bullet holes but was too far behind by that stage. I found it hard to run the match and shoot at the same time, its no excuss but I just never got into my rythem and was too impatient to wait for the best condition.
Kathy has won the last 2 months in a row, shot a personal best score on Saturday and was the most consistent. She is now watching the wind\flags herself and is picking the condition she wants herself - no help from me!
The Juniors also are now shooting on their own and have learn't alot over the last couple of years, its good to see.

The true test will be at Batemans bay with the wind blowing and the ice cold conditions - that sorts out the boys\girls from the men!

Next Fly will be on the 13th Feb,
