Belmont and the Damned Rain

RATS!!! :(
We had 70mm in the last 24 hours so Brisbane probably got about the same. Can't see the "range improvements" being completed for the middle of July, at Belmont now. Been hanging out for a shoot for a long time now. Got two rifles to test. Very important work ;) :) as you all know. RATS, to the rain :thumbsdown:

What are you wanting to test? The range is still open.

Nah bugger that, keep raining! Send it towards Toowoomba as it's drier than a dead dingo's donger out this way.

I hate the rain with a passion. Can’t work in it so I loose money every time it rains ..... I don’t mind hunting in it

Wanted to test a 22 and 30/30 but was put off by the "standing area only" and "portable benches". Did not think there would be much room in the standing area. A lot of people attend Belmont and there would be a long wait. Those portable benches are way too heavy for me to lug too, so I'm hanging out for a return to normal with the concrete benches and stools.

That must be very recent. I was there last weekend and the benches at the top were open.
