Cast out of what? Looks like gold disco balls :lol:


:lol:

Topscore Projectiles have a proprietary Gold Coat Lube it increases the velocity lead projectiles can be fired at and eliminates lead barrel fouling.
I highly recommend them, great bullets..

Believe it or don't, despite living in TAS I may actually make it to this, I have to head to Sydney mid next month and will be taking the camper, I want to have another look at the Lithgow SAF, Pucka etc so will be making a trip out of it with dad.

May take something interesting in .303, a target rifle for the fly and a couple of pistols perhaps.

We will see what is available on the Ferry.

Just remember, Lithgow SAF Museum is not open every day, check opening days & times. A few travellers have been caught by a closed door.

I hope there will be a bit of a 300m Fly Comp at least as I want to use it for practise since there are 300m & a 500m Registered Match two weeks later in Wagga. Bit of practise would be handy in the cold and windy Windamere Range.

Born and Raised in Rylstone, oldies still live there, might be a good excuse to come home for the weekend and get some long distance shooting in.

I will let the organiser know if I can get away (need to ask the boss if she wants to get away)

We could have a 500m Fly shoot, as there are some things happening.

'some comments deleted here' - just got to remember this page is PUBLIC visible.

Anyway - we may have some progress on the 500m Fly stuff.
Soil Con - the 'official Crown Lands' ground/soil 'relocaters' & diggers - are going to do some earth works on the WRSC silly wet range.

Just throw money................ lots of money................

Should be getting a 2w drive track to the 500m target line and the rails/target points at 500 dug/constructed to 3 levels for the rails/target frames (same as the 385m) with 2m or better bullet stop.

We 99.9% finished the "hopefully cattle proof" fench at the silly wet today, so they can't camp under the roof over the shooting bays, 900mm hindgejoint, 3 high-tensile & 3 barb at the top. Only got to shovel out the sh*t after 4+ years of cattle occupation, etc.

'further deleted content'

BUT .... not finished yet! So we keep working at it.................

Sounds like things are going in the right direction out that way hilux,

I have a bunch of 400x400x40 clay pavers I'm happy to donate as flooring in the shed at the silhouette range, just need our mate ex_reven to transport them on his truck. Lol

That's awesome Hilux!

Good to see progress :D

I had no idea about the earthworks. that sounds like a great idea and will give my poor little subaru a break! hahaha (but really, make the range more accessible to all which is awesome!)

Cheers,

Nuzo

P.S. what? people don't like rolling around in fresh cow patts? :D

Clays are usually relegated to the days end, but that being said we have had some days where we went through a great deal of rounds on shottie.
I probably wouldn't bring more than a box per person. Time is the limitation mostly as it tends to get dark quickly.

When we get a proper lighting setup going we will be able to do it til 10pm in future, but I don't think this will come about prior to august (bays of high powered lights are quite expensive).

We have organised to get two auto throwers - kindly lent from SSAA Mudgee 5 Stand shotgun club. So that should keep things interesting ;)

I found out the Soil Con blokes were nearly finished doing the tracks to spray the blackberrys & other bits on Friday. As I had a job in Kandos, I got the foot in & met them that morning to explain what we needed done.

Bit of a accounting/discussion session re money & who pays what that evening & over the weekend but the Soil Con blokes 'should' be digging & contouring the 500m bank this comming week. Along with the track to the 500m distance.

Nuzo - remind me to get the keys for the sillygun throwers a bit closer to the weekend, please.

Yer....... some of the big black (CATTLE, just to cover any comments) buggers (I'm not a cattle person, just like the flavour with a little salt & pepper, maybe some garlic & onions....) look like they just step over the fence. I will be testing the electric fence energiser, battery & solar setup (or getting Nuzo to do it) to see if it still functional & then running a hot wire on the fences.

Just got "all night long" playin' - & you shook/took me... [on the orifice stero set up], only 50% volume... I get in the Sh*t if I rattle the windows with bass. :lol:

Yea, 70's & 80's pub music just hit the speakers - "we're never gunna die", hell, I've nearly run out of beer... no worries, found the fridge...

next track = "Friday on my mind" - luverly ;)

Update on the silhouette upgrade.

We have the earthworks done at the 500m distance.

Plus the track so "most 2 wheel drive" should make it to the 500m or so - at least - close to the 500m distance ;-)=

The erosion control/contour bank at about 300m stopped the old ED ford wagon. I did not attempt to "jump it", the old ford is just too long & low to get over the contour & then make it back to the road, in ONE peice!


View of the 500m area/distance.

Could be a bit hard to see but there are three levels, for the targets.

Rails & supports are a "work in progress" at this time.
But we can do.......................... 500m Fly!.

Managed to get a bit closer today but as we had up to 30mm over night it was a bit sloppy in places, even in 4x4 low range.

The benchs so far. Now the cattle are fenced out we can start to cleanup & re gravel the shooting bays.

Still have to sort out the silhouette rails/stands at the 500m, this could take a while as the ground needs to settle & stablise.
Will be chucking some grass seed about to lock up the soil & slow the errosion down.

We should be able to use it in August AND the 500 Fly targets have arrived! Looks like some star pickets will be used & the old military 4' targets (backwards, so only the white back shows) wired on - then the staple gun for the yellow & red Fly target.

Should have some at 300m as well.

We will need a lot of sighters (me anyway), as I havn't shot 500m since 2009 at Casino CSD Nationals (I think it was 2009, memory loss is a bugger).

hey guys, not planning on getting one of these, but just curious, would this sort of device be tolerated on a range like mudgee?

Thought you were in doubt for this event...??

I'm even more ready in that I will be able to see this time. Finally after 6 months of painkillers the eyesight has settled down enough to get an eye test and today, new glasses so had to reset all the rifle scopes. Boy that makes a difference to the focus on a target. Also got measured up for a special prescription set of shooting glasses which means the focal point is shifted from centre to straight behind the Ocular Lens Exit Pupil, not a bad price of $39.00 all up with toughened shatter proof len's.

Now to get some load development done this Sunday at Mudgee and inspect the new earth works.

We need to come up with a match for it & ask for an update to the FAR licence - would only be allowed on a metalic templated range.

ex-reven did some "odd" match stuff write ups, I just have to get arround to checking with the FAR.

They specifically list what targets and what ranges you can shoot do they?

That's as part of the ranges license?
