Thursday March 9, 2006. Another Day at the Office.

Although it is difficult, at least for shooters, to imagine a shooting report being boring I have to admit writing this that not a great deal happened on the range today. We shot twice, 900 and 1000. Wind was light from left and the sky was almost cloudless. We finished soon after 1:00 and the temperature had already climbed to the point where we were happy to call it a day. An interesting feature of this range is that the very lush firing points are watered over night with the result that they are very humid in the early sunshine. Unfortunately the forecast is for steadily increasing temperatures through to the weekend, with relief due Monday. A note of some interest for the wine drinkers in the crowd. Bottled wines here are only about $2.00 or so cheaper then the same wines at home. For example, the ever popular Yellow Tail costs $10.99 at the local drive through liquor store. Bag in a box is a totally different story. Renmano 2L Chardonnay, about $22.00 at home is on sale at the same shop for $8.99 Aus. Talk about how to support your local industry. Just in case anybody is wondering, fuel is about $1.20 a litre for regular and $1.30 for diesel. No pictures today, Cheers, Jim.
