BENCHREST RIMFIRE MATCH

A 100m Benchrest Match was held at the Rimfire Range in difficult conditions with a cold wind, drizzle rain and poor light impacting on good scores. However nearly two squads of shooters, including a number of juniors and several new shooters, were keen to brave the elements and post a respectable score.

After some sighting in shots two 10 shot groups were shot and scored for the competition. Competitors were divided into two classes, based upon their equipment. Specialised benchrest ri**es and rests were classed as Heavy while standard sporting ri**es were in the Light section.

After all targets were scored the results were:

Heavy: Isaac F. 190/200
Wayne S. 186

Light: Johnathon E. 182/200
Mario M. 152

Top Junior: Mila S. 175

The match was generously sponsored by Riverina Fi****ms Centre who provided vouchers for 1st & 2nd in each class and a trophy for the Top Junior Award.

The next shoot will be a Metallic Silhouette Lever Action match for Centrefire and Pistol Calibre Lever Action ri**es at the Rankins Springs Range on 23 August.

300m FLY SHOOT

Over a dozen keen benchrest shooters braved the cold, windy conditions at the Rankins Springs Range recently to compete in a a 300m FLY Shoot. While this event has usually been shot at 500m a reduced sized target has been developed by SSAA for the shorter distance. This makes it more attractive to shooters who don't have more specialised ri**es with targets scopes for the longer distance.

The FLY rules remain the same with up to 8 shots on each target with 5 scoring shots and the option of 3 sighting shots if needed. An extra point is scored if any part of the FLY in the centre is hit.

After check sighting their ri**es and ammo at sighting targets set at 300, each competitor completed groups on three targets to be scored.

After the scores were tallied the top scorers were:

1st Wayne S. 116.1
2nd: Robert V. 114.1
Top Junior: Eva V. 96.1

The shoot was generously sponsored by the Riverina Fi****ms Centre who donated vouchers for 1st and 2nd place and a YETI travel mug for the Top Junior.

The next shoot will be a 100m Benchrest match (group shooting) on 9 August at the Rimfore Range commencing at 9-00am for any rimfire r***e.

RIMFIRE BENCHREST MATCH

A well attended Benchrest Match was held at the Rimfire Range in clear but very cool shooting conditions with a mild cross wind as an added challenge. With the targets set at 100m the challenge was to shoot two groups of 10 shots with the highest scores.

There was a good variety of well set up benchrerst ri**es and stands as well as some standard sporting ri**es on more basic rests or bipods. R***es were separated into heavy benchrest and light sporting groups.

After some sighting shots to check sight ri**es two 10 shot groups were shot to be scored. The 100m match is a challenge for some but there were plenty of good scores above 170 out of a possible 200 points.

In the Heavy group John C. was 1st with an excellent score of 181 followed by Wayne S. with 181 points.

In the Light r***e group Glen J. shot a superb score of 181 points followed by Ben W with 170 points.

The two Juniors who competed Milla S. and Scarlet K. both shot incredible tied scores of 180 points each with Millia declared the winner of the Top Junior travel mug on a count back.

Winners received vouchers and the travel mug courtesy of Riverina Fi****ms Centre who generously sponsored the shoot.
