On Saturday last the range got hit by a freak storm 160mm in just one hour as you can imagine the debris was horrific, thank you to all the members on Sunday morning who helped get the range available to use. A big thank you to Greg Sutherland, Robert Ramsey, Keiran Grabham and Brian Russell for coming out on Monday and clearing up the range in front to the firing line, cleaning the club rooms after the flood had gone through and using the gurney on the reloading area and firing line so that we are back to normal for the next Wednesday shoot. There is still some work to be done with the debris at the back of the firing line to be cleared and some pavers need replacing, plus we need to concrete at the entrance gate. As a reminder to you all we have locked the front gate so entry is now by the outside toilets just until we can fix the problem at the gate it is too dangerous to use the normal entrance.
Local Benchrest shooter Michael Thompson was earlier this year inducted into the SSAA Benchrest Hall of Fame which was a great achievement, on the strength of that award he was chosen to captain the SSAA 4-man A grade team to compete in the World Championships to be held in St Louis, Missouri commencing the 23rd to 27th September, 2025. The week before the world titles he competed in the USA National Championships with 104 shooters competing. In the 100yds LB he placed 8th with a score of .2256, sg .130. 200yds .2613, sg .295 and placed 10th. In the Grand Agg he scored .2435 and placed 2nd which was a fantastic result. HB 100yds he placed 4th with a score of .1906, sg .116. 200yds 24th with a .2252, sg .320. He placed 4th in the Grand Agg with a score of .2079. 18 countries contested the World Benchrest Championships commencing on the 23rd September, 2025. Australia A consisted of Michael Thompson (c) from NSW, Paul Sullivan (Queensland). Milan Morell (South Australia) and Darren Parsons (NSW). In the LB 100yds they placed 4th. 200yds 10th and the Grand Agg 7th. HB 100yds 8th, 200yds 6th and 6th overall in the Grand Agg. The 2-gun saw them placed in 7th place behind 3 USA teams, 1 French, 1 Canadian and a team from Finland. Overall, a very satisfying result.
Wishing two of our very own, Michael Thompson and Alistair McMillan the best of luck, as they depart to compete in the World Benchrest Championships in France!
We are beyond proud of both Michael, competing in the A Team and Alistair competing in the C Team. What an accomplishment to represent Australia, fellas.
We will keep you all updated with results

We have received some enquiry chasing range opening times and the 2023 calendar, this was posted to all members via email in December 2022 so if you haven’t received anything chances are that your email needs updating.
Please take the few minutes it takes to do this so we can keep you all in the loop and it also saves the club posting a physical copy out should your email bounce.
To update just follow this link, it’s a very simple process.
The humble fitty (fifty) shown here front and back is a cracker note and one we prefer to keep wholly on our person lest she be broken and the balance disappears. Out at the range we keep no cash, so we have no float…that is a float for your change. So should you turn up with a fitty instead of a portion of a fitty (like the typical range fee of $15) then we reserve the right to keeping the balance as a donation….;0) with thanks. EFTPOS is also available.
Otherwise bring correct weight haha!!
Range fees are $5 per junior, $15 per adult and $25 per visitor, please bring correct money as we hold no money at the range.
