F Class Standard State Team Report – Canberra Nov 2010
We had trouble arranging dates for trials and the two planned practices which delayed our preparations. The advantage we had was that we practised on a metric range, the same as the Match conditions in Canberra.
You can never be sure of the weather conditions that Canberra will turn on. This year we had heavy rains a couple of days before arriving, and the weather turned cold and showery for the duration of the matches.
Nevertheless, running second in the 15 shot match at 800m, winning the 700m range [losing only three points] and finally coming second in the Grand Aggregate is an excellent effort considering the small number of available shooters that we could draw upon. Well Done [PS NSW was first in both matches]
The highlight was in my opinion, the team - despite only retaining three of our inaugural team from Bendigo. The new members settled in quickly to the procedures, were always on time when called upon, worked well together, and were very professional in carrying out their tasks. I congratulate them for that. The presence of Colin Kuchel OM our Chairman, who visited the range at the very moment we won the 700m Match was a highlight for all the team members.
Uniforms: This year, we completed our uniform by supplying the team with red all-weather coats. They were indeed appropriate for the conditions, and didn’t we look the part representing SA.
It is our practice to take 6 shooters and a Coach. To build experience in these Matches for the future, all 6 shooters shot in a least one match - as occurred in Bendigo as well.
Finally, we thank SARA for covering the costs of the team’s entry, and Richard Braund for arranging accommodation.
I am proud of the team consisting of:
Jim Freebairn [Coach], Malcolm Hill, John Cranwell, Terry Brewer, Steve Cowie, Ben Runkel and
Claudia Richards-Mousley (Manager) for putting together a very solid performance.
