WA state 500m fly results

[Stuart Pethy]

hey guys sorry for putting up results late but i have been flatout
first of all thanks to everyone who made it a great day, had a few people pull out at end but it was still a good day
running and shooting in the comp was hard and it took a a few rounds to settle myself down , hats off to you guys that run and shoot comps
thanks to Dave Groves and Anthony Hall for your help with advice and score sheet
well it was a great day but a long day and it turned out to be some of the toughest conditions we have ever shoot in, with wind being so switchy and unreal mirage from the get go , at end had scope on 20 power and could hardly see the V
the scores reflected the tough conditions and caught many of us out on some details

Yes Stu it was a great day, the event ran like clock work, I would personally like to say a big thank you to yourself , Phill and PRMSC for hosting the event and for putting in a lot of your own personal time to organise the event it was much appreciated by all.
The conditions were definitely very challenging, on my last 3 targets I could not see where the Fly was at all and was placing shots only by getting glimpses of the V below the rings which were a bouncing blur!!!  I'm sure most would have struggled with the extremely heavy mirage towards the end to.

Job well done  mate, the first WA State Titles were a big success.. looking forward to next year.

Cheers Jason
