Thankyou. Had first day at Range yesterday shooting rimfire. Weather horrible, but great to be back at it.

A little known fact: it is also P O ACKLEY's Birthday today, (a date I share)

Yes Tony, c/f between 12mm AA marine ply. Nothing scientific, seems to work. I only make these one off for a few people that get referred. Do not use a duplicator, Build each stock up in layers from the "inside out". last thing is hand shaping. These days only work with Barnard P and the V...

The Australian F Open Team (including Rod and 15 others) has just won the World Championship ahead of Canada. The Australian FTR (F Class with 308 win rifles on bi pods) team won the Silver just behind the USA. What a fantastic result for Australia. Culmination of 4 years planning and training.

Nope, here are results for Grand AGG. http://www.dcra.ca/results/2017/CFRC/a877.htm Consisted of 6 matches, over 3 days. 100 scoring shots. Rod was 489.41. He put all but 10 shots into the 1MOA "5 ring", and 41 of those were in the 1/2 MOA "V" ring. 70 of those scoring shots were...

Thought you all would like to know that sometimes Fly Shooter, Varmint Shooter, Rod Davies from Cessnock has just won the World Championship F Class Open title in Canada this morning our time. (He also placed 2nd in the Canadian Nationals a few days ago). The Aussie s did very well with another Aust...

Did you know, we share our Birthday, with none other, than P O ACKLEY

Thank you. I am getting a Lyman Digital Borescope. Have not opened it yet. Keen to try it out. Rob Eager

It was ply laminate. It had a bit of builder bog in it as I had changed actions and it looked pretty bad. The people at AJ Hyrdodipping asked me to give them an old stock so they could do a demo for me. (I make F Class stocks). It now looks a million dollars. I gave it to them stripped of the old fi...

This Shehane Tracker BR stock was given new life by AJ Hydrodipping in Goulburn NSW. It looks great.

Jim McKinley, the "father" of the Fly Shoot has passed away last night as the result of a fire at his home in Canberra. This is indeed very terrible news. Little is known of the circumstances at this time and his home is now a crime scene. What a loss, the shooting sports has lost one of i...

Malcome, Sean. Goulburn is a multi-user range. The fullbore rifle club shoots every Saturday arvo from 12.30pm. We are almost exclusively F Class these days. We are the club with the E Targets. The rifle club also has Fridays available for practice, testing and maintenance. SSAA has a fixed firing p...

Yesterday, Saturday 7th, the Goulburn Rifle Club went live with the OzScore Electronic Target System (www.ozscore.com.au) Geoff Roberts and his crew arrived at the range at 9.30 am, and commenced to install the Target and the Target Computer. The target frame was pre-fabricated by Geoff's team as a ...

For a thumbhole. I use a forstner bit to make a small hole, say 20mm. I then use a Wood carvers gouge and a mallet to enlarge and cut the area for the thumb/palm roughly to shape, then use the round microplane rasp to shape, then the round sanding bobbins in an electric drill ( slow speed) to refine...

Micrplanes are give more control and a better finish than a rasp. Be careful, the ones that are featured in cooking shows for grating cheese etc WILL NOT cut wood. Also, I have found that it takes just as much effort and cost to make a stock out of crap wood, as it does with good timber...get the be...
