I don't actually practice as there are no ranges close by , closest is about 3 hours away from home.

Which ranges do you like and dislike and why?

I like all ranges they all bring something exciting to the Table, Majura lots of mirage and changing winds. Silverdale vertical when no wind seems apparent controlling the group was very important there. Springsure ever changing and a real challenge to remain focussed. Little River in Vic super windy and strong gusts that can leave you with a missed shot very easy, Monarto love the baffles and the super flat range to 200yds can be challenging when shooting close to the baffle line.

For me the main match has to be Nationals the best of the best are there and the competition is at the highest level.

My philosophy for benchrest is, take the time to read the conditions and concentrate without distraction at the bench.

What advice would you give to new shooters?

For New shooters i would say talk to experienced shooters, look at the gear and how they set their reloading table up and, if you are sitting with a known great shooter when they start their string at the group watch the conditions. I am a advocate of getting new shooters involved and mentoring them in the early stages of their induction into the sport. I like to assist all shooters where i can and take pride is giving information that helps shooters on their journey.
