I'm a newbie Centre Fire Benchrest shooter and have nominated for the Australia Day Shoot. My First big centre fire shoot. I hope as many people as possible can nominate for this event. I have a Labor lobbyist in my family and apparently they are trying to differentiate Hunter, Target and define what it means to be a sporting shooter. Which may mean that Sporting shooters can hold up to 10 Firearms. The thinking that sporting shooters can hold appropriate firearms for different classes of sport but they must at least compete at club or more elite shooting competitions.
That is as much as I have been told. So a good turnout at club and larger events could be advantageous to our shooting community.
Season's greeting's
