YTD Score board looks very interesting… with 1 Fly hit currently dividing the Top 2, will the Mighty Calcutt prevail, is Lacey on the hunt for the Top 8 shoots for the year? And then 1 point and 4 Fly’s dividing position 3 and 4… there not competitive, just having some fun shooting Fly’s.

For August there is a group of Fly shooters from Brisbane, Springsure, Gladstone and Mackay branches heading north to visit SSAA Innisfail for a day of fun and getting to meet the Innisfail branch Fly Shooters. Looking at the photos and talking to those who have been there. It is an amazing piece of QLD to visit. Do yourself a favour and Google Earth Kurrimine Beach, you will see the Fly Hunting facility sitting just behind the northern end of the coastal town of Kurrimine Beach.

Congratulations to Mark Lacey for taking out Round 11, November 2024 Tri Branch Postal Comp.
It has arrived… that time of year has rolled around again! It was only the other day it was December 2023, Yeah?
Anyway, 23 shooters can make the final leader board by achieving 8 Shoots for the year. So not all is set in concrete just yet! Let’s see what December brings, both SSAA Brisbane and SSAA Gladstone have 200yrd Fly shoots on.
A little encouragement for those who did not manage to get 8 shoots done this year. I have included a score sheet below with everyone's averages (2 shoots or more to get an average). So, compare your average you scored against those that qualified into the finals... if you shot your average, for 8 shoots!
Where would of you ended up???
Good luck all!
