The Melbourne Benchrest Club hosted the Fly Shoot Nationals at Eagly Park earlier this month.
Despite wild weather conditions, the event was a huge success, with all competitors thoroughly enjoying themselves, none more than fourteen-year-old Eli Grant from Albury, who defied the conditions to set a new range and national record with his 0.543″ five-shot target at 500m in the Light Gun event.
The target was shot with a 17lb gun, 6mm Dasher, 105gn VLD projectile, Nightforce 12-42 x 56 scope.
