Only a few days before WBC15 gets underway at the Rosebud Silhouette and Benchrest Club in Canada.
Schedule of events:
17th July Opening Ceremony and LV 100, 18th July HV100 19th July LV200, 20th July HV200 and 21st July 5X10 event and Awards Function
Once again Australia will be represented by the full complement of 3 teams of 4 shooters as has been the case since WBC1 in 1991
This means Australia is the only WBSF affiliate that has fielded FULL team allocations to every RF and CF WBC tournament that WBSF has staged. Goes to show Aussies aren't shy to travel and are supportive of all hosting nations which is a shame such is not reciprocated by other affiliates.
Australia will be represented by:
Team A Ean Parsons, Brendan Atkinson, Steve Sori and Darren Parsons
Team B Paul Sullivan, Will Greer, Milan Morell and Dave McKillop
Team C Keith Sewell, Bill Jupp, Gavin Marshall and Robert Bissett
Wish our team members all the best, many small groups and trust they enjoy the experience - know they will all do SSAA proud.

Hi everyone
Thanks for all the best wishes for the Team
All the teams will be arriving in Calgary over the next 4 to 5 days .
Tina will try to keep everyone up to date via Facebook WBC15 and if I can I will load some scores up on benchrest bulletin
Planning to travel to the range for the first time Tomorrow Tuesday for us
Looking forward to a new range and very different condition who calls 25 degrees hot
Apart from the 13 hour flight and a little stuffing around at the Vancouver airport the dreaded travelling with guns has gone fairly smoothly for us.
As per Michael’s post some results will be posted daily
Be good
Will Greer
Hi everyone

Well done Bill and Rob

The whole c team handled them well
bottom page
Hi everyone
They decided to post the grand and team results after all
Well done AUS C
Hope it’s clear as another competitor emailed it to me
The HV grand is attached
I believe there are a good number of Aussies in the top ten
Will be very close tomorrow with 5 or 6 teams close enough to win the 2 gun event
They are expecting some very cold weather tomorrow
Let’s hope it does t snow
Temp didn’t get above 16 today
So I guess I am going to find out just how much 2018 N133 will fit in a case
Sorry still no range picks , but what we had to do to get the flags two metres above the ground would make some of you laugh
Amazing stuff that gaffer tape
We have two days of shooting to go LV 200 tomorrow and 10 shot 200 yard shoot the next day
Been a testing range so far
Be good
Will
Special shout out to Juppy one of the most gifted shooters i have come across...

The light varmint 200 was shot in 11 degree temperatures and rain on and off during the day
Hope I picked the correct picture

Overall it was a very good trip for us all , I believe everyone enjoyed the competition even though the conditions were very testing at times , Australia were in the top competitors over the four days
Will be a 10 shot 200 yard match tomorrow followed by presentations
Be good

Fantastic effort, well done to all the Aussie shooters.
Great results . Amazing aggs at 200 1st place with .2598 and 10th place .2957 such a small window . It shows how tough it is at that level
