Argentina, two of their competitors flw to Canada and were very sick so never got to compete



New Caledonia and Germany on the right



USA, you will notice Tony Boyer is missing, He was unable to compete and Walt took his place in the team

Host country Canada



New Zealand



Missed a few countries but after the photos it was down to business

As usual you spend more time reloading than shooting

Well I didn't vist the shed with the wailing wall so didn't get too many photos of the targets but did get some of the results

As you can see in this Helen and I didn't fare too well on in the LV100



But some shot pretty well, Jeff Graves (USA) 1st, Francois Luciani (Luxembourg) 2nd and Lloyd Miller (Canada) 3rd while Carlos Pacheco (France, on the left) shot a small group.



A real nice 0.066" at 100yds



I also managed to snap this pic of team USA, and I just noticed Walt is missing.

Competition continued on day 2

The discussion on groups and conditions , continued



The reloading



There's always time to socialise



As they say every shot makes someone happy

Ian: I want to take a moment to say I sure Thank you and Helen, for all the photo's of the trip and the shooting scenes, the information and comments about all of them. Glad you enjoyed and had such a good time on all of it and shared it with all of us here. I am sure I am not the only one that enjoys this adventure of yours. Thank you very much. Bill K

Very much agree with you Bill.

Not only this trip, but, all of their trips.

I think it's great they can make such a trip every other year or so.
They've seen more of the US than I have even after driving OTR for
ten years.

Not only have they been able to see so much of it. They've been kind
enough to share with all of us. Very few of us have been able to make
such trips even living here.

I doubt many on the board know their names: Ian/Helen Owen, his name
on the shooters list is down at #62. Better than I'd be able to do.

Thanks Kiwi for being kind enough to share with us.

"Every Shot makes someone happy" - That's a good one, Kiwi.
Can't win 'em all.
Was very nice to meet you both.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

One evening all the competitors, partners and guests had a social evening with good food and company.




Walt gave a bit of a speech and got a standing ovation



It was back to trying to make small holes on the second day and I made a couple of changes which seemed to be quite beneficial, especially for Helen.
HV 100 results



We were using V133 and all the lots I've used up until this lot have been quite clean, this lot seemed to be quite dirty.
