Fly Shoot May 5
- Thread starter mikecockcroft
- Start date
That would be a safe bet
Good luck to the shooters in Texas USA and Victoria Australia in the next postal shoot.
The range at Eagle Park in Victoria can really turn on some hard conditions with 50 to 60km/h cross winds...you’re certainly in with a chance of teaching us Aussies a lesson.
Having said that, the first ever “60” point target in 500m Fly Shooting was shot at Eagle Park at the 2017 Fly Shoot Nationals in April last year, that’s 5 shots in the 10 ring (50 points) and center to center group size under an inch (10 points). An achievement I would never have predicted to happen at this range that can present such daunting conditions.
Cheers

Maybe we can redeem ourselves at our next shoot. Have a few guys coming to this shoot for the first time. Hope they enjoy it and keep coming back.
Weather has been a little erratic this year. Hoping for a good day on May 5
Good luck to our competitors on the other side of the world.

Rain in the forecast for Friday but the Fly Shoot is still on for Saturday the 5th.
Bench draw Thursday night. Let me know if you are coming but have not sent in entry so I can get you in the bench draw.

One less person for me to insult and make fun of.
Actually, we will miss you

At least at the end of this shoot I won’t have to carry your rifle and equipment to your truck for you. Taking a beating with a non braked 6br all day is enough to hurt any man

17# 22 Dasher. Very little recoil, especially when u leave your bolt at home.

You cut deep
Missed you yesterday. Lot of pressure shooting with your regular partner, Denny. Luckily, he won it, so I must not have messed him up too badly!
I heard a guy named Travis got 2nd

I know, when I don't win it's because that pressure...looks like it effected you just a bit too
Congrats on your second. That's good shooting against a tough crowd.

Thanks. I somehow managed not to have any stinker relays with the 6BR in LG. Closed with a nice (albeit very lucky) 57.01 to get 2nd overall. There were some real nice targets shot yesterday. I think there was a 59.03???Hopefully, we are starting to get the hang of it!

You may have lost your shooting partner.
Denny and Travis made a good team spotting for each other yesterday.
First and second place
By the end of the day, Denny was having trouble remembering what the guys name was that used to be his spotter.

Donnel Gaines shot a fantastic target , I believe with his heavy gun.
I will try to post a picture of the target. He did this on a relay with terrible mirage. I was simply amazed.

That’s an impressive target in good conditions let alone in bad mirage..
