Mike, I wish I could make your Fly Shoots. I had a great time at the one last season. But since you have them on Saturday, I doubt I will make even one.

A lot of shooters work Saturdays, but very few work Sundays.
 
At the top of the spreadsheet, select the tab that says 500m leaderboard. There it is in finish order. Denny Henderson showed us how it was done!

The Fly Shoot is an Australian event that has been shot for a number of years. Basically a score type target with a fly printed on it rather than an X in the center. It is shot at 500 meters and there is a twist to the scoring in that you also get points added to the target depending on the size group you shoot.
Mike has arranged to shoot these matches as postal type matches with some of the Australian clubs. Lots of good times to be had with a little friendly trash talking and competition. The Australians are good guys to talk to.
