A
lot of driving and flying, a little shooting usually followed by a lot of
swearing then a lot more driving and flying.
Most Memorable Shooting Moment
Scoring a very nervous and shaky 75 in the first range of the
Adelaide Woomera match
after a very late call up to the team. Not so memorable, being second on the
range (99 &
97) both times some other
mongrel gets a 100 at 1200yds in a championship.
Winning Strategy
Listen to
father Bill and Uncle James on bullets, rifles, positions and strategy
(Bullshit).
Just shoot
more bullseyes than anyone else seems to work.
Advice For New Match Rifle Shooters
Take up golf, its cheaper and less frustrating.

Ancestry
Left Scotland in 1849 (probably kicked out by the poms), family are still
farmers at Snowtown (proves we’ve still got some stubborn Scottish blood in us),
left the farm 16 years ago to live and work in Adelaide, go home as often as
possible (still a country boy).
