WA State IRB Mundaring

On Sunday 23rd of June 2019 Mundaring Marksmen Association ran our first WA State I.R.B. (International Rimfire Benchrest) Championships with competitors travelling from as far as Albany and Geraldton (5 – 7 hours drive) to join in on the fun. The Sky’s, thunderstorms and rains held off as we shot through three details of three relays with some testing conditions at times. We would like to thank all of the 27 competitors for really putting on a show with Kay Cotterell taking the win for the day AND breaking the State Aggregate Record not to mention the two Juniors Madison Jones And Taj Bosich who both finished in the top 15 for the day.

The day was a blast and was possible due to the commitment of a team of Mundaring Marksmen Association members who took care of the background work on the day – RO, Target Crew, Scorers not to forget the head chef behind the BBQ and all others that helped.

Over the last 18 months the same group of members had been working tirelessly to build new frames, new benches, modify infrastructure and help gain SSAA Benchrest certification for the Range We would also like to thank our delegates and other shooters such as Maureen Edwards & David Kerr as without their input none of this would be possible.

Thanks again to everyone who came along to the day and we hope to see you at the next shoot.

well run

Will, you ran a smooth friendly shoot which is a credit to you & your crew.
Just feel sorry for detail 3 last card when the wind really blew up 5 mins in. I've never seen so many flags point in different directions at once at that velocity.
Thanks SSAA for the door prize. My first win for the year. :)
Well done Kay (nemesis) Definitely not your fist win of the year.

Congratulations Will on you and your team's first IRB State Titles. As we know, it doesn't happen by itself either on the day or in the leadup to the event. Perhaps in a couple of years when the interest increases, you could make it a 2 day event and attract some of the eastern shooters. A number of us were planning to attend the TRA Nationals in Perth this year before the police intervened and the comp was shifted to Sydney.
A couple of days shooting and a week hanging around Margaret River seemed like a good balance to us.
