SPECIAL EVENT! - Mixed category club teams
Covering all 3 shoots on the Sunday, all shooters will be included in 3 person teams, mostly by club. Teams can be mixed category (i.e. can be made up of Target Rifle of F-Class Std or Open) with the MCSI system used for standardising scores.
WARNING!
Hearing protection should be worn while shooting is in progress.


A special welcome to F/TR shooters Once again we'll be running F/TR in addition to F-Std and Open. F/TR is the international version of our F-Class Standard. For detailed equipment specs see section F.2 of http://www.icfra.co.uk/FCRules_2009.pdf.
ONE SHOT WONDER!
Don't clean your rifle after the 600 yards on Saturday! There is a bottle of scotch for the closest shot to the centre at 1000 yards. One shot each, no sighters, no spotters, measurements revealed only after everyone has shot.
Relax between matches
We will have paid markers led by the Aldridge twins on four targets, so no visitors will be asked to mark.
 
The clubhouse has stove, refrigerator, toilets and showers. Lunch and refreshments will be available, with a $13 spit roast dinner on Saturday night. Afternoon tea provided.
The area around the clubhouse is sheltered with numerous shade trees. You are welcome to bring a caravan or tent and stay overnight on the range - plenty of sites available, all powered - book with OPM Secretary Alan Fraser (03) 5145 4246 alanpfraser@netspace.net.au
Location Map of the Range
From the centre of Melbourne, Rosedale is a 2 hour drive east, down the Princes Highway. Turn right at the roundabout, drive south for 1.8km, then turn left into the Rosedale-Stradbroke Road. Drive along this road to the first corner (about 1.2km) and instead of following the bitumen road around to the right, go straight ahead onto the gravel road, and the Range gateway is about 800 metres further on the right-hand side of the road.
