University of Queensland Rifle Club

🇦🇺 A TOUGH DAY AT THE OFFICE. It was a tough one for many of our tricolours today, with 500 yards proving a real test. But, as always, they gave it everything they had right to the final shot. 💚💛💚

After a huge month on the ranges across the world, it’s no surprise that some of our members are taking a well-earned breather before the calendar fills up again.

Enjoy the break, recharge the batteries, and we’ll look forward to seeing you back on range soon!

Tri-colour magic filled the range from morning practice to afternoon's competition! Nice to see Phil getting some time behind the rifle after a big stint on range as ET and RO over the last few weeks. Well deserved. Reilly also had a solid hit in practice this morning as he prepares for October!

After a big week at the Kings and TR Teams, Hamish was back at it with a very tidy 105.12 in TR. Wendy had a great hit-out in FSB - 4 down with two solid strings. Leon was back doing what he does best although Ben's return from Bisley pushed him! Greg was solid as always and Cameron only a few behind. Seems Greg also had a great hit-out in SPCO with a very tidy 105.14.

To all our tricolours who competed today - great job! Nice to see the club represented so well on range.

Congratulations Cameron Free - success at the National Veterans Teams Matches - coach and shooter. Gold in Match 1 and Match 3 - the grand aggregate in F/TR in some of the worst conditions we've seen on the Duncan Range.

Add a 2nd place at the 300 yards and an 8th place in a highly competitive King's field in F/TR and we are super proud of what you've accomplished. Well done Cameron!

What a week for Greg Faux. Starting with National Veterans Matches with wins at Match 1 and the grand aggregate! That's gold! Well done Greg and the QLD F/TR team which also included our other superstar, Cameron Free. Sharing the wind-coaching duties, they steered the team through some horrendous conditions - showing us what real teamwork is all about.

Head into the King's and the magic continued. Greg claimed THIRD in the King's - with wins at the 600y, 800y 900y and thirds in the day 2 agg and the 900y on day 3.

What a week - what a result - so well deserved by our champion!

Congratulations Terry Buchanan - winner FSB at the QRA King's Series! Great job champ!

Congratulations to Hamish Po***ck who finished the Duncan Memorial in 3rd (TRA). Scott Townsend also finished 3rd in TRB.

Well done Terry Buchanan - winner of FSB!!!

Leon Lindley finished 6th in F/TR.

It's now time for the big one! https://shooting.hexsystems.com.au/competition/monitor/710

Super proud of our Uni reps at the World Championships. Our tricolours look so good in green and gold.

Now that's someone happy to be at Bisley - go get 'em Ben!

Great work by Hamish as he leads after the 2x 500 yards at the Pacific Rifle Club OPM.

We could not be more thrilled for the Aussies and especially our tricolours. Wooohooo. That's bronze.

Congratulations to the Aussie FTR team. That's bronze to start the tally. We are super proud this morning.
