Had a quick look at the weather forecast just now, predicted 24 degrees on Saturday and 18 on Sunday for Ballarat.

I had another sneak preview of another novelty event for the shoot, thanks to Adam. Watch out for Sir Buckethead the destroyer :surprised: should be a bit of fun.

Thanks to Adam and the gang at Ballarat for a great weekend of shooting. The weather was kind in fact i'd say perfect for both days. The targets were challenging and the novelty shoots were original and fun. A great shoot with a great bunch of people. Made a monday at work bearable.

Thanks to every one who attended, I hope everyone enjoyed themselves at the Ballarat Trad Shoot. I heard many positive comments about the shoot and seen a lot of smiling faces, especially at the novelty stations.

Also thanks to the Ballarat guys and girls who helped out around the course and in the canteen. Thanks to Woody, the meals were great.

I will post some pics later on, over the next couple of days.

Great bunch of shooters with the usual encouraging dialoge between groups on the

challenging and fun.

The boys and ladies put a great effort into thinking up some unusual and challenging novelty shoots, well done.

Thanks to Chris from Oz Hunting and Bows and Mark from Marksman Quivers for donating some nice kit for the raffle. Also thanks to Mark from Tradbits for looking after us for some 3D targets.

Some nice clear pics there Craig, only down side is we can see some of the rough heads a bit better :oops: :oops:

Was a good weekend, that bloody carp needs more arra's in it though. And those arrows of Stephens with the white cresting are stunning.
