That would be Mr Bunny then? The last UK representation at Bianchi was 2005 (I think)

The Aussies could enter as a UK team, they're still lucky enough to be a part of the colony!!

The results make for interesting reading. I've got to admit to being surprised that only one clean was shot. Still, that's the nature of the game and it bites you when you least expect it. Congratulations to Tiffany Piper for winning Junior (if you read this, although I don't know you, I know your old man)

Thanks. Would have been a great bit of marketing for this year, wait until all the results are in then offer the prize....

Wow! $100k? Is that for next year, or this match?

Congratulations to Doug! Any idea of how many clean scores were shot?

Some good scores out there, looks like being a great last day.... Looks like 7 guys are going into the last day clean: Bruce Piatt 1440 140 Doug Koenig 1440 138 Craig Ginger 1440 134 Tony Holmes 1440 127 George Mowbray 1440 124 Luca Magnano 960 96 (Practical & Mover to complete) Billy Abbate 960 77 (Mover & Plates to complete) Great shoting guys and it's really nice to see a lot of old friends right up there in the mix.

Great stuff, thanks Paul. If you run into Karl Piper, tell him that the little fat English bloke says hello!!

If my conversion is right, it's around 4pm in MO, so the day isn't quite done yet. I seem to recall that Grant Jeavons in previous years has posted results on a day by day basis, although apologies if I've got the wrong person. I'd expect results (if available) to start appearing around 6pm MO time, but it all relies on someone being at the Cup with the time and the internet access to do it.

I'm up for it! All I need is a gun, ammo, holster, hotel room and airfare!! Best wishes to all the folks going this year.

Like a lot of the other posters, I used to use the Zero 125gn JHP. As for powder, it varied between HP38, Winchester 231 and N320, somewhere between 5.5 and 5.7 grains, although I used to just set the powder measure and not check it again.... Ooops. I think I used to use Remington +P, but it could have been Winchester.

"Shoot 'em in the middle" Fine words from a Gentleman from Indiana! I used to find, the key to practising for the plate match was to make everything varied. If I usually shot left to right, I'd spend time shooting them right to left. I also used to mix up the directions depending on the distance I was shooting from, so 10&15 yards I'd go right-left, 20 yards (prone) I'd go left-right and 25 yards I'd do a string each way. I shot prone from 15 yards back, so to avoid the tendency to get into a habit, I'd practice shooting standing all the way through. I've also shot the entire stage weak hand (supported) and standing all the way back. Everything was really just to make sure I concentrated on the shot itself, rather than get into a set pattern or rhythm. Still never stops you from making stupid mistakes though!

Congratulations Bruce, good shooting there. Thanks for the updates Dave and Grant. I'm still hoping to make it back one year to be soundly thrashed!!!

You've never heard me play then By the way, I had a moment of insanity and I got engaged (to Sue) last month

Total brain fade, plus not working for the same company makes an e-mail password pretty useless. I must not forget to post I must not forget to post I must not forget to post I must not forget to post

Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger! Wish I hadn't read all of this. Who fancies a whip round so that a fat English bloke can come across?
