Oh lord! I wish I could be there. I would be afraid to shoot against you hustlers, but it sure would be fun.

Do you just register and rock-up? Or do you have to qualify somewhere? What are the eight core events? How many rifles do folks fly with?

I have just checked the calender, and it is on a weekend, of course... hmmmm...

I guess travelling with two rifles wouldn't be too much of an issue. A bit of excess baggage...

I'll think seriously about this, but won't be able to reach a decision until closer to the date due to other commitments. But I am sorely tempted to get down there! It'd be a hoot!

Barry has told me I have to be there, so I guess I will be.

Not sure how I'm getting there yet, probably driving.

Bore gun.

Looks like I will need to get a move on and try to get the 10-bore Westley Richards DR shooting before then.

Might need some hands on help to achieve this in that time I think.

Other than the shooting what else is happening? Is there a dinner or bbq afterwards, or anything like that?

Accommodation nearby?

Sorry but where is this? Near Hobart or ?

Barry, Thanks for posting the notice of the National Shoot.

Try to find an American living in Tasmania who will make up the third member, it might be easier.
