RAVENSHOE/MT GARNET OPM: A SUCCESS WITH THE FTR CLASS

Ravenshoe/Mt Garnet Rifle Club held its annual OPM on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October 2014. The turn up was very good with 44 shooters across 6 disciplines attending from various clubs ranging from Mossman to Bowan, Collinsville and Ayr, as well as all the Tablelands ranges and Cairns. For the first time in North Queensland F/TR was included as a separate class in its own right, as opposed to “F/TR compliant” and it was a great success with 8 shooters choosing the FTR class, only one less than the number of shooters in FSA, the most chosen class.
The biggest challenge for the shooters on both days were the rapidly changing winds, together with heavy mirage. On the second day especially, flags and mirage were competing for dominance. The first day was 300yds, 400yds and, after a well prepared and varied buffet lunch, 500yds. On Sunday it was double 600yds, 15 shots competition. Presentations followed another great lunch and our grateful thanks goes to Cnr. Shaaron Linwood for presenting the prizes and trophies to the winners and for her generous donation towards the running of this competition.
Right from the first range, the Ravenshoe shooters showed some excellent scores, with Peter Burg and Kevin Chatfield achieving a possible each at the 300yds and Kevin Chatfield also achieving a possible at 500yds.
On day 1: the 300yds range showed a great performance for Ravenshoe F class shooters with Peter Burg winning F Open, Kevin Chatfield and Garry Venables winning FSA and FTR respectively. Kevin Chatfield excelled taking out both the 400yds and 500yds in FSA, while Betta Gianasi took out the 500yds in FTR. Day 1 aggregate was a clean swipe for Ravenshoe shooters in FSA with Kevin Chatfield 1st, Kathleen Chatfield 2nd and Mick Wood 3rd, while Murray Wilson was 3rd in FSB. Peter Burg took out F Open with Peter Smith (Herberton) 2nd and Steve Lazarus (Cairns) 3rd. FTR was ladies at top with Vicky Cusick (Cairns) 1st followed by Betta Gianasi 2nd and Shane Green (Cairns) 3rd.
On day 2: Chris Allman convincingly took out both 600yds in FTR, while Kathleen Chatfield and Mick Wood took out one 600yds each in FSA. In TRA Jason Kuchel, on his first day of shooting, kept up a steady performance winning the daily aggregate. Daily aggregate in FSA was a convincing all Ravenshoe win with Mick Wood 1st, Kev Chatfield 2nd and Kathleen Chatfield 3rd. In F Open Peter Burg missed 1st place for only 1 point to Peter Smith, with David Stewart (Herberton) 3rd. Chris Allman took out the daily aggregate in FTR with a 10 points advantage on Shane Green 2nd followed by Betta Gianasi 3rd.
Grand Aggregate winners showed the great performance of our shooters with an all Ravenshoe win in FSA: Kevin Chatfield 1st, Mick Wood 2nd and Kathleen Chatfield 3rd. Peter Burg confirmed his top performance winning F Open from Peter Smith 2nd and David Stewart 3rd. In FTR, Ravenshoe had a great shoot with Chris Allman 1st and Betta Gianasi 3rd, only one point behind Shane Green 2nd.

The Club’s big thanks goes to Sandra Wood for doing a fantastic job in preparing and looking after the catering and to her “little helpers”: Rebecca & Ashley Langley and Yvonne Burg. Our thanks also go to our sponsors: Ravenshoe Hardware, Choppity Droughtmaster Stud, Cnr Shaaron Linwood, Kathleen and Kevin Chatfield, CRM Gunsport, John Anderson, Bertoldo Electrical, Liz and Murray Wilson, Yvonne and Peter Burg, Sandra and Mick Wood, Rebecca and Errol Langley, Ravenshoe Tyreright, Mt Garnet Tyres and Spares. Our markers were exceptional in their marking, making sure that the competition ran smoothly and efficiently on both days.

We will do it all again next year, running the FTR class and we hope to see you all there.

2014 QRA QUEENS

Ravenshoe shooters Murray and Liz Wilson left home after the C&IDRA Prize Meeting in Cairns to shoot the Queens in Brisbane. It was well attended with 105 target rifle, 28 F Standard, 21 F Open and 6 F/TR shooters attending from Australia and New Zealand in the Duncan lead-up and 148 target rifle, 42 F Standard, 37 F Open and 8 F/TR shooters in the Queens.
Liz scooped the pool in FS B taking out the aggregate in the Duncan, the Queens and the Grand Aggregate. She also took out the Day 2 Short Range Aggregate, the Day 3 Long Range Aggregate and the 900 yard Aggregate. The last day’s shoot at 1000 yards proved extremely difficult, with rain and very low visibility taking its toll on many shooters, with a number retiring.
The Belmont range is a credit to all involved, with the range a picture of perfection and the presentation went very smoothly.

GREAT PERFORMANCE AT MOSSMAN

Ravenshoe/Mt Garnet shooters showed a great performance at the Mossman Open Prize Meeting held at the Mossman Rifle Range on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 July 2014. A good turn up of 37 shooters (11 from Ravenshoe) on the first day and 33 on the second day enjoyed sunny and hot weather. The heavy mirage was the biggest challenge for the shooters especially in the mid-morning and afternoon ranges. The first day was 400m, 600m and 500m after a delightful lunch. On Sunday it was 500m and then 600m to end the competition. Since the first range, the Ravenshoe shooters showed some excellent scores with Peter Burg and Kath Chatfield achieving a possible each at the 400m. Peter Burg kept up is good performance achieving a possible on both Sunday's ranges, while Betta Gianasi achieved a possible at the 500m range.

On day 1: the 400m range was a clean swipe for Ravenshoe F class shooters with Peter Burg winning F Open, Kath Chatfield and Liz Wilson winning FSA and FSB respectively. Mick Wood took out both the 600m and 500m in FSA, while Paul Padgett took out the 600m in FSB. Day 1 aggregate was taken in FSA by Mick Wood with Shane Green (Cairns) 2nd and Kath Chatfield 3rd. Paul Padgett excelled in FSB with Betta Gianasi 2nd and Brian Corkill (Cairns) 3rd. In F Open Peter Carter (Cairns) took it from Marty Lobert (Cairns) and Peter Smith (Herberton) 3rd.

On day 2: Betta Gianasi took out the 500m in FSB while the 600m was a clean swipe once again for Ravenshoe F class shooters with Peter Burg, Mick Wood and Liz Wilson winning F Open, FSA and FSB respectively. Daily aggregate in FSB was a convincing all Ravenshoe ladies win with Betta Gianasi 1st, Liz Wilson 2nd and Yvonne Burg 3rd. In F Open Peter Burg missed 1st place for only 3 centres to Marty Lobert, with David Stewart (Herberton) 3rd.

Grand Aggregate winners showed the great performance of our shooters with Mick Wood and Betta Gianasi 1st in FSA and FSB respectively. Liz Wilson 2nd in FSB, Kath Chatfield and Garry Venables 3rd in FSA and F Open respectively.
