Good evening all,

Good evening everyone,

The Committee have decided to postpone the CAC Shorts scheduled for this Saturday morning.  We shall be in touch with the new date as soon as we set it.

The Dick Travis VC Shoot is still scheduled to go ahead this Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.  

We are duty club at 300 yards on Saturday afternoon. If you are available to help out on both the afternoon and following morning shoot we would be grateful.

To those heading to Taranaki for their championships, we wish you the best of luck.  Have fun and bring you successes home !

Thanks
Nicole

Good evening all

Well done to the shooters who competed at Nationals 2012.  Once again Karori Rifle Club can be proud of the achievements of our members. Attached is a photograph of the haul of trophies, medals and badges won by our club members.

Of special note is Colin Brown and his stunning success with a new rifle. This rifle first saw competition in the weekend prior to NRA week.  His approach was novel. Colin must have spent a fair bit of time at the reloading bench in development.  His preparation was immaculate and this echoed in his results at the range. First place in F class, first time out. Well done.

Anniversary weekend saw four Karori Rifle Club members competing at the Charles Upham VC and Service Challenge competitions run by Wellington Service Rifle.  Two days of rifle shooting followed by one day of pistol and shotgun.

I won the Sangro Cup for top bolt action in the Charles Upham VC with Jon Wilkins and Ewan Liddell winning NRA cased medals in Open Class.  Ewan also did well in the pistol shoot on day 3.

This Saturday, 4th February there is a scheduled morning shoot at 300 yards.  Next Saturday, 11th February there is also a morning shoot at 500 yards.  Anyone wishing to use the range or wanting to invite someone along to try their hand at our sport, please let me know so we can organise for these two mornings.

The following Saturday/Sunday, 18th/19th February, Karori Rifle Club is hosting the Dick Travis VC Shoot. I have attached the Entry document which has its rules of entry for everyone's viewing and information. There are rifles to spare for those wanting to compete. If there are any questions at all, please feel free to contact me.

On the morning of the 18th February, Karori are scheduled to shoot the CAC Shorts at 300/500 and 600 yards (7 shots).

The weekend of the 18th and 19th February is also the Taranaki Championships.  

The Committee are considering whether it is appropriate to postpone the CAC shorts. Would those intending on travelling to Taranaki but wanting to shoot the CAC Shorts please let me know so we can decide if the event needs postponing.

Also, some assistance is asked of members to help make the Dick Travis VC shoot a success.  If members are available on the Saturday afternoon of the 18th but more importantly on the Sunday morning of the 19th of February, could you please reply.

This is an inaugral shoot that we are hoping Karori can claim as it's own.  In two years time the world will reflect on and commemorate the exploits of our WWI vets.  We have the ability to successfully run another national event along the same lines as our National 1000 yard shoot.  The opportunity is there, it's whether we have the in-house support to run with it or not.

Kindest regards,
Nicole McKee
