Doubtless the Club's photographer will be present, hopefully he'll not spend all of his time searching for his balls in the long grass.

Had a great time today, the family enjoyed it too. Good to see everyone again.

I'd like to say a huge "thank you" to everyone involved. Cheers!

Good to see you Rob

Yes it could not have been any better.Great weather with very little wind

Some great RC flying by Paul (other than the unsheduled landing in an 80ft tree) But well rescued by Kim and her 12 guage-what a girl!!

Looks like multi shot pistols are the new chosen weapons of destruction against those flying balloons.

Looking forward to the next one

Can hardly keep my eyes open. What a long day, but what a day!!
Nice weather, guns, bows and arrows, catapults and a lovely BBQ what more can a man want?
Thanks Kim for the loan of the field and thanks to all my mates and fellow club members for a wonderful day out.
Sorry Paul we did rather trash your airplane but what an offer. " I will fly it in front of you and you try to shoot it down with shotguns" OH YEA bring it on.
Not forgetting of course Pauls bean can cannon. Quite a weapon.

A big thank you to Kim for the use of her facilities and to all those who helped organise and run the day. Another classic.

Lots of variety, some good shooting and plenty of fun. The 50 yard exploding target was challenging!

Not many collectables on view, I did see a chinese b2 at one point a couple of classic BSA's, but it just goes to show how far modern airguns have moved the game on.

A particularly fine bonfire and great banter as always.

Looking forward to next year.

Another fantastic day out at the annual Melbourne Marksman BBQ and fun shoot.

Great weather, great food and great company.

Some fantastic shooting at the minute exploding targets at 50 yards - Well done Nick ..& John (Eventually ) very impressive.

Enjoyed the night time shooting under torchlight with Nick & Dick regularly knocking over the 56yarder - Nick even did it from a standing position.

A big Thank You to Kim & Chris for organising the event and all that helped set-out and putaway at the end.

Some photos of the day courtesy of Dunks here.

Owing to the "club photographer's" early bed time we'll have to wait on some night time pics from another source....

[Peter Dunkley]

I do hope the "night pics" are decent. Not just a drunken orgy.
