2025 Review

Ok. I promised everyone a review of the 2025, it has taken a little longer to put together, but I hope it is worth it.

First of all, I would like to sincerely thank all our volunteers for their incredible contribution to our sport. The work you do before, during, and after every fly match is immense, and much of it goes unseen. From running our successful matches to keeping ranges open and clubs operating week to week, the dedication and effort put in is remarkable. Please know that your commitment is deeply appreciated by everyone in our shooting community.
Next I need to thank everyone who has provided feedback and suggestions throughout the year on the scoring programs and statistics I’ve been providing. Your input, and the time many of you have spent helping to test the systems and identify bugs, has been invaluable. It has taken a fair amount of time and effort to put everything together and get it running smoothly, but hearing feedback from shooters and knowing that people appreciate the systems and the information makes it all worthwhile.

I would like to extend my thanks to all the shooters who attend matches, both registered and club. Everyone puts in a considerable amount of time and money to take part in these events, and without your participation there would be no reason to hold them. Seeing the number of competitors who continue to turn up, and the enjoyment you bring to the range is incredibly motivating and inspires everyone involved to keep dedicating their time and effort.

Finally, I would like to thank all the many sponsors who contribute to our sport. There are far too many to name individually, but I want to give special thanks to Nightforce. Their continued support as the major sponsor, not only for our Nationals but also for many other events, is greatly appreciated. Not many other shooting disciplines are lucky enough to have a major sponsor like this on board, and their continued support greatly appreciated.

I would like to congratulate the winners of the various matches held throughout the year. Your dedication, skill, and consistency have been outstanding, and it is great to recognise your achievements. Well done to everyone who has competed and excelled in these events, your efforts set a high standard and give the rest of something to strive towards. The stand outs of this are of cause the winners of our very prestigious Shoot of the Year Awards (Peter Cross, Vince Vainer and Michael Bell). To stay consistently at the top of such a competitive bunch of shooters is no easy task.

Below I have put together a summary of the year.
