Australia Match

Today will be the Australia match!!!

Yesterday's practice started at 300 yards with overcast skies and some spotty rain, just enough to think is this the start of a downpour or not. Calm winds at 300 resulted in lots of 50's being scored, and back at 600 with the sun coming out the light winds persisted from the right, and more 50's with high V counts being displayed.

The range officer decided to complete the 900 yard practice before lunch, and by now it was getting quite warm, and the winds were increasing in strength and changing angle. Early shooters at 900 yards dropped a few points, with the coaches working very hard to keep up with the changes.

Lunch was held back at the Brisbane Rifle Club, and we started again at 1000 yards at 1330hrs.

By now we had a buffeting headwind, and I know as I was first down, the wind was changing angle quite rapidly. Again, early on in the 1000 yard relay there were a number of points dropped.

Today, the weather looks good, but we all know that it can change very rapidly, so we need to be prepared for all eventualities.

Last nights BBQ went well, and I hope to post some pics later of the Canadian Team enjoying Thanksgiving away from home.
