Palma Practice
The Canadian Palma team practiced today at 800 and 900 yards, before retiring to the Brisbane Club and a debrief.
The rest of the afternoon was left to our own devices, in preparation for the big match tomorrow and Saturday, with some of us making a trip to Australian Customs to sort out some export paperwork!!!

Apocalypse Brisbane (WILRC Finals)
We watched the final of the WILRC and a nail biter it was. With a tie shoot for second and third place
1st RICHARD JEENS (G B RIFLE TEAM) 725-049
2nd ANDRE DU TOIT (SA RIFLE TEAM) 723-068
3rd DAVID LUCKMAN (GB RIFLE TEAM) 723-068
4th place was Jane Messer, who went into the final with a 3 point lead, so it shows how difficult the final was.
Going into the last day, the lead was held by Sherri Gallagher, but a 60.1 at the last 1000 yards was not what she hoped for, but what many of us mere mortals had experienced at the 1000 yard line. The final had a father and son team from South Africa, and if Sherri had made the final there could have also been a mother and daughter team there.

Tarantino Movies
Well we saw more blood spilled today, almost as much as can be seen in a Tarantino movie.
Today did not bring any rain, but sunny, cool and the same wind pattern was evident.
We shot 800 yards in the morning and 900 yards in the afternoon. The 900 yards was challenging, as the predominant head wind from the left of about 4 MOA would quickly switch up to 6 MOA or drop 2 MOA. Resulting in not only 3's but 2's being scored. Many complaining (including myself) that flags all looked the same, and could not gain sufficient eveidence from the flags to make a definitive decision to change the sights.
Many USA shooters were obsered, shooting fast to minimize the changes, whereas other's waited out the changes that they could see, but that left them using all the 23 mins avaialable for the 2 and 15 shoot.
1st SHERRI GALLAGHER 510-038
Canadian Shooters in the top as follows 100:-
42nd TOM WALTERS 497-038
45th ROGER ROMSES 497-036
59th SERGE BISSONNETTE 495-040
70th DON PITCAIRN 494-034
84th BOB PITCAIRN 493-034
86th GEORGE WRIGHT 492-037
99th MIRKO TEGLASI 491-034
Must remember to pack more band aids for tomorrow!!!
To respond to John's comment about Ken Nelson, I believe he took the first day off to rest and recover, and was back on the range today.

Belmont Slaughterhouse (WILRC Day 2)
Alas I was unable to post to the blog due to an Overseas Teams Reception, where we observed each team captain (Palma, Veteran, U25) swap gifts.
The presentation slightly delayed due to the crowd wanting to watch Australia play New Zealand for the final place in the Rugby World Championships.
Yesterday, we completed 900 and 1000 yards in some pretty hot conditions. Tom Walters was the highest placed Canadian, followed by Dave Adams.
Today could not be more different. Cold, Windy and Showers, with many relays being delayed as the targets were no longer visible.
The Belmont Complex really showed it's teeth at the 1000 yard range, where showers, high winds, gusting and blowing shots all over the target. Many Canadian (and other nations) shooters ended up in the 50's out of 75.
As there is a protest outstanding at today's 1000 yard the official results are not available. I'll update as soon as they are available.
