Match Rifle Career:
Like my TR career. Lots of enforced time out but have shot
for NSW several times, one appearance in Australian team as shooter and wind
judge UK 2006. Two shoots in the Hopton for 13th. and 17th
places ’06 and ’08 respectively. Won South. Australian and Victorian MR
Championships in 2007.
Commenced:
1995 saw me at Ungarie with TR range rifle and 155gn. Sierra Match Kings. (Serious stuff). Now use
P model Barnard and 8-32 Nightforce

Winning the
Winning Strategy:
Make sure all gear and ammo is AOK.
Fire one good shot at a time.
Advice For New Match Rifle Shooters:
1) Group should be under 3” at 600
yds.
2)
Extreme spread under 15 fps. (20 shots)
3)
High velocity achieved
through careful chambering, powder selection and projectile weight but not at
primer popping pressures.
4) No’s 1) & 2) are much more important than 3)
5) A hit on the target at 1200 yds.
has a very different meaning to a hit on the target in TR.
