Well, I guess the rumors are true, everything is the opposite below the Equator.

The big question, do the toilets swirl the opposite way as well.:D

Send us as many pictures as you can. Our 12 Representatives need to know that we back here are pulling for them.
 
Not sure how to turn the photos around on my phone they are the right way up?

Everyone is packed up for the night and the range is closed

I can’t figure out how to turn the pics around even if I turn them around on my phone the still post upside down

The range looks great......much better than my practice groups, but some may think their rifle is broke,
I over heard someone say today “ I shot 5 different conditions and they all went in the same hole yet I shot 5 bullets in the same condition and ended up with 5 bullet holes”

Nice Pix

Ian,
Don’t worry about the photo orientation, we have the technology to rotate the images.
We pick up the monitors and turn them upside down.:p
It’s so great to get the photos. Try rotating your camera 180 deg. when you make the photo.

I've tried orienting the phone 180 deg and also rotating the orientation of the photo 180 deg before posting only to get the same result.

Now you know you are supposed to stand on your head to get the true benefit of the photos from down under
 
No worries

No worries Ian, Just want to let you know that we all, up in the states, appreciate your post’s.

Back in the pits

This just in from NZ. It appears Gary Bristol is taking a quick power nap by counting sheep. I see one anyway. I'm sure the jet lag is as challenging as seeing Dave Coots for a week. Good luck Gary, and all of you!

We had the warm up matches then stopped for the opening ceremony.

While there were some really nice warm up groups, the wind visited the range and made everyone work for their groups for the rest of the day. We didn’t get the rain, luckily, but that wind was from every direction and quite blustery

Some backup rifles sitting on the Italian team members vacant bench, since team Italy didn’t arrive for WBC

A nice touch, a presentation to the top 3 winners of each yardage will take place everyday

The wind did show up today but even more so this afternoon and there were a few big groups shot

LV 200 today and most got caught by the wind, as can be seen by the results.
I fired my first record shot on the third detail while holding on the outer ring to the rightof the mothball only to have the shot hit the second line to the left of the mothball, we needed some chain to hang in place of the ribbons.
