    Yeah, an actual C3. A very nice bit of kit. If Malcolm makes it along to this year's event he will shoot this rifle again.

    Yep, looks like we might need some wet weather gear. Water proof score cards are sorted. Still its a south westerly so it'll have to get past the mountain and over the saddle before it gets to us...

    Truck is full of targets so i can set the course tomorrow. Just to sort my own shooting gear now!

    @ChrisF unfortunately Malcolm won't be there this year with his C3. Track sounds alright up to the woolshed unless it really rains before we get there. I will see it tomorrow.

    Track into the woolshed looks fine. Even for your little toymota, @ChrisF

    Yeah, we'll try and speed things along. BBQ down at the house. I'll probably head out on Sunday for a little bit of drop validation shooting before i pick up all the targets.

    Huge thanks to Gillie for a fantastic event. Well organised, and very interesting and challenging course of fire.

    Learnt heaps, and already looking forward to the next one !

    Some notes for newbies :

    @Gillie is a sadist... He especially loves punishing left handed shooters
    Redo your drop chart and add angles beyond 30 degrees...
    While you are at it, double the max wind value you normally shoot in !

    I do not like cargo nets

    Good to meet @scoped and @ChrisF

    Well, no photos or video from me today - weather could have been a lot better, though it did get worse after most people had left the BBQ. A little wet and very windy! Made for a challenging days shooting. The sitting shots off the cargo net and barricade were quite difficult - the wind would buffet your body making holding the rifle steady impossible.

    I had a great day though. I haven't shot my .260 in a few months and was nice to be reminded how good a set up it is for this style shoot with the big Kahles K624i on it. Was real good to meet @scoped and @ebf, and good to catch up with @ChrisF, @Grasshopper, @lost, and @Bagheera.

    Fingers crossed next weekend weather forecast is better!
