Shoot to Thrill
This event for Australia will be on @ Sydney International Shooting Centre on Sunday July 1, 2012 - Team USA will shoot on the same day over in the States, the idea is they will pick a team of 9 to pip against our Aussie team of 9, Stephen George is the USA WRABF rep for Air Rifle.

On top of this we will also be looking at individual results and that part is open to all from each country. The event uses the WRABF 25M Target and is shot @ 25m under LV Class.

AUS AIR TEAM 2012:
Greg Schneider A
Bill Collaros
Mathew Brough

Harry Fuller B
Stuart Neale
Richard Lightfoot

Chris Nocente C
Rob Austin
Jaegen Peet
 
Sounds good. Nice shooting the other day Bill.
Is Harry liking the benchrest game? He should post some on this forum.

Bill,

We will be announcing Team USA members and locations in the near future.

Our teams will be shooting their scores in the June time frame as range schedules permit.

United States Air Rifle Benchrest is excited about this opportunity for a postal match with a WRABF member association.

Yes he is shooting .22 Hornet w/16x scope.I asked him in FX Elite post on the Yellow today Franky.Said he was really under the weather w/flu during shoot
 
Seems strange Harry would be using a .22 in the LV class. I know he had a decent FWB 300 that would likely be a better choice.

Response to .22 maybe even better w/less wind

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been de-tuned down to specs but still has its original sporter stock. I did swap the 12X Leupold I used in the trials for one of the Bushnell 16Xs. Hopefully I may get a more suitable stock fitted before July 1 for the USA/ OZ postal so as to be able to use a front bench type stand I have borrowed. So far I have shot it held both hands over two sand bags. Its a bit of an oddity amongst the $3000 .177 rifles.
I literally got out of bed with the 'flue this Sunday to go to Sydney to shoot in our "B" team in the OZ leg of the World Postal. It copped a tricky swirly wind and I had a poor second target card but my "B" team came second 2191 to our "C" team 2192 with our "A" team on 2183. I was glad to get back home to bed. Anyway our scores are now in for that comp.

I flared the skirts a little on the Monster Stratons for that group Mark. Otherwise they will slide down the Elite ST barrel. They surprised me and that was not the only fair group. The other two were just as good. Give them a try.
Kind regards, Harry.
 
Well, at 12 FPE those .22 caliber pellets will look like a softball pitch.
