Hi All,
            Please note, the format of the Nationals is different this year to the previous two years.

We will be shooting Heavy Gun the first day (Saturday), then Light Gun Sunday and Rimfire Monday.

The reason for this? In the beginning when Fly started out, there was no Light Gun!

More details soon!

Cheers,

Dave.

Bob, please email me at [e-mail] regarding a shirt.

Dave just checking on the Saturday Heavy Fly shoot. I assume that we are shooting 5 not the 10 targets you mentioned on one previous occasion that you would have liked to have run for this shoot. Is that correct?

Regards Rob

[Dave Groves]

Hi Rob, correct, the event will only be a 5 target match each day, whilst we would have liked to run a 10 target match on the Saturday it is just not going to be possible, the main concern was compromising the success of the Nationals to run the 10 targets on Saturday, currently we have  63 nominations and the event is still 5 weeks away, we will probably be running 4 details and 10 targets  would make that extremely difficult.

Thanks for asking the question.

Cheers.

Dave.

[Dave Groves]

Hi All,

Hi All,
           Currently we have 83 entries for Heavy Gun, 79 for Light Gun and 73 for Rimfire, with 91 individuals nominated and a few of our regulars that I haven’t heard from, things are looking good.

Each day will be 4 details, and we can run up to 26 benches easily so if we get to above 100 competitors on any one day we may have to bring in a wait list for entries.

I will post the updated competitor list in the next couple of days, I would suggest nominating now if you haven’t as yet to avoid disappointment.

Cheers.

Dave

[Rob]

Dave,

 

I have spoken with Jack Lipko and will be sharing his rimfire (much better than my rabbit gun) so can you please ensure that we are not shooting the same detail.

 

Thanks

A quick update. 99 individuals entered, 89 for HG, 83 for LG and 74 for Rimfire.

Cheers

Dave

[Rob]

Dave,

 

On rimfire can you please move me from detail 4 back to detail 2 as I am sharing Jacks rimfire and keith and sue are using their rimfire so it makes sense and reduces our effort if you can move those detail position around please.
