What a weekend for our tri-colours. From competing in the APS to running as RO and ET support, they were there. Add a taste of a few who popped in to say "hi" and watch it all unfold, and you have a team which is with you every step of the way.

This weekend sees our annual OPM and teams event - and we couldn't be more ready! Have you registered? https://www.shootingprogramsqld.com.au/events/358508

Our tri-colours are always in the action - from the firing line to the RO and those keeping an eye on what's happening.

We wish our APS representatives the very best of luck for day 3, the final day of APS.

We had a sign on Saturday over our nominated targets, but alas while some reasonable scores, no pots of gold.

13/06/2026

Our tri-colours are simply the best. Our champions shone today on the Duncan Range - from Aussie team practice to MDRA 900 yards.

Add Jason at the Wondai OPM - and it was simply a magic day. Jason sits third in F/TR with the longs to come tomorrow.

🎯 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃. 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑. 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓. The best competitors never leave anything to chance. They chase improvement - even the tiniest amount.

🏆 Yesterday's success is history.
🎯 Today's focus is the next shot.
📈 Tomorrow's goal is to be even better.

Champions like Danny understand that greatness isn't built in a single moment. It's earned one shot, one lesson, and one improvement at a time.

💪 The mindset of a champion is simple:
➡️ Never settle for good.
➡️ Never stop at better.
➡️ Keep striving for your best.

🎯 One shot at a time.
🔥 One target at a time.
🏆 One step closer to excellence.

Have you worked out your teams for 2026? This is the most fun part of the weekend! Get the tinsel, the high heels - maybe the fishnets? Borrow a crazy hat or 3? Get onto Temu and over-do the budget with $2 of absolute 'crazy'? All jokes aside, let's get the teams organised for 2026 and make the magic happen. https://www.shootingprogramsqld.com.au/events/358508

🎯 Have you registered for the University of Queensland Rifle Club Teams Event for 2026 yet? The bragging rights are priceless... but the cash certainly helps! 😉💰🏆

Held on Saturday morning 27 June 2026 - just before the UQRC OPM, this is what can only be described as the most fun teams event on the Duncan Range!

Don't be fooled by the smiles and laughter though... there's some serious competition on the firing point! 💥 From Australian representatives 🇦🇺 to first-time competitors, everyone has a shot at glory.

Think you know who's going to win? 🤔😂 Oh, you jest!

👉 Anyone can shoot on the wrong target? 🎯🙈
👉 Who forgot to put the primers in? 🔥😳
👉 Who discovered that "used primers" aren't actually a reloader's best friend? 🤦‍♂️😂
👉 Whose bright, colourful shooting outfit had more X-ring potential than their actual target? 🎯
👉 Who spent weeks talking up their chances... only to discover they NEVER REGISTERED? 📋😱

And who will somehow stumble through all the chaos, survive the sledging, avoid the crossfires, remember all their gear, and walk away with the cash? 💰🏆 There's only one way to find out... You've got to be in it to win it! 😎👏

👉 Register now:
https://www.shootingprogramsqld.com.au/events/358508

💰 $300 CASH to the winning team in each class! Now that's incentive enough... but let's be honest, the extra $$$ certainly helps pay for what is shaping up to be an awesome weekend on the range! 😎🎯

Only FIVE classes (and NO grades!):
🎯 Target Rifle (TR) F Standard F Open F/TR Sporter

Teams are simple:
👥 2 shooters and a coach OR 👥 2 shooters coaching each other

Whether you're chasing bragging rights, prize money, or just a great morning with mates, this is one event you won't want to miss! 🏆🔥

Round up your teammates, bring your A-game (or at least remember your primers 😜), and get ready for one of the most enjoyable mornings you'll spend on the Duncan Range.

And while you're there... why not make a weekend of it? 👏

Some brilliant moments by our tri-colours at the MDRA 500 yards yesterday. Great work once again by Russell as he continues to impress - a 124.7 with a 66.5 in the second. Terry and Wendy were only just behind. Stephen had the 'tale of two strings' with a 59.7 (plenty of centres) and a 65.0 (not one in sight). Simon - what can we say... an awesome second string shot in 33.6mm of elevation - simply outstanding. It took City's Ian Marks to shoot 1 66.10 to go better! And what has to be said about Greg - he started with a 123.9 in F/TR then hammered out a 105.14 in SPCO. Silviu what only a shot behind.

Well done to our tri-colours!

Pssssssst - Jason was at North Arm alongside some of the F/TR Aussie Team - getting those final touches before they head to Bisley!

Hamish on his way to a 105.15 including a very tidy 55.10.
