Anzac Day shoot 2017

Post by Supaduke » 25 Apr 2017, 10:31 pm

Went down to little river today for the Anzac Day memorial shoot. A good day was had by all. Lots of lovely old rifles to look at. We had a service before we began where 'the ode' was recited, last post played , flag raised and observed a minutes silence.

Competition was standard 3P with
10 shots prone at 300m
5 shots prone at 200m
5 shots sitting/kneeling at 200m
10 shots standing at 100m

There was also a bayonet shoot, 10 shots standing at 100m

I went ****** in the bayonet shoot with my No4 mk1. Grouped ok but all low and right.

The main event , I managed to score 2nd in A grade. Used my M39 Finnish Mosin. Got myself a nice shiny silver medal, which I have to admit I'm pretty proud of. 40 or so competitors.
My mate also managed 3rd with my Swedish Mauser so I was pretty happy with that also.

Don't do a lot of formal shooting and the medal looks really cool. Just thought I would share. These M39's really can shoot.

Cheers fellas

Good BBQ lunch too. Definitely worth a look. I ended up joining the VMRC, want to add a bit more comp shooting to my agenda.

That's awesome.... I would be proud to say the least... but i can barely see the target at 300m..... :(

Re the format of the 3p, did they change it? it was always;

300m: 5 x Prone
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
200m: 5 x Prone
200m: 5 x kneel/sit
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
100m: 5 x Prone
100m: 5 x kneel/sit
100m: 5 x stand

Far as I know, that's the format they have used for the Anzac Day shoot the last few times I have been.

Could be different during regular competition though.

G'day Genesis93,
We do use a different format for the ANZAC shoot, and shoot the 100 component as a Snap event. Monthly 3P remains as you show it,
