havent got the scores for the harry yet.

was 700 today
perfect day for shootin.
very little wind,very slight mirage.
cool,so no thermals in the gully.

fudged a few shots but still got a 90.7
5 of those were supers 2 were 6's.
also hit the lucky spot again :D
[lucky spot is a small patch put in the centre,about the size of a 2 cent bit,has to be a clean hit and cant break the side out.]

next week is the 800.

i love this shit :lol: :D :wink:

Oh I had a few of those at Brisbane, almost shot a possible and then boom 5 low right arrgh. No I don't think that Brisbane is a happy hunting ground for me, not last but well off the pace. Rear bag stability issues and always not a good thing when you find your wind zero is slightly out, don't see it so much at the shorts but go back to 900 and a 1000 it makes things well annoying.

everybody had trouble.
i used "Tiny" on the first round [31.1] :oops:
second round i used another blokes TR rifle.
30" barrel,sumo sights,eagle eye,musgrave action.
heavy as hell,sling wasnt set up for me and this guy has longer reach,so wasnt easy to hold up.
