The VIC Fly Shoot Championships for 2021 were contested at the Eagle Park SSAA range at Little River this weekend.
It was good to be back at a registered competition, the first on the east coast since the Nationals in March 2020. Eighteen competitors turned up for an enjoyable weekend of Fly Shooting.
Day 1 was the 500m Fly with good conditions for Little River; 25 degrees, no mirage all day and 25-35km/h Northerly coming over the right shoulder which stayed consistent all day with no radical direction switches or let offs. A new HG high score record of 59.03 was set by Tyson on his D target.
Jacko took both the Heavy Gun and overall wins scoring 251.01 and Nick Aagren won Light Gun scoring 234.03
Day 2 was the 200yd Fly and again we had a really nice day at 25 degrees with no mirage. Wind conditions were the same as Day 1 for targets A, B & C but picked up a knotch to 30-40km/h for D & E. Melbourne Benchrest Club member, Andrew fox, was consistent all day taking the honours scoring 241.03
Thanks to those that made the interstate journey and also a shout out to everyone, visitors and club members, for chipping in and helping with the set up and running of the events, it was much appreciated.
