Hornets Rimfire & Air Rifle Benchrest Club Brisbane

Just a club practice shoot held yesterday.
There is a Club match shoot next Sunday 19th actually. Make sure you are there!
Anyway good attendances yesterday. We did a small working bee later. Simon and Jeff have been upgrading the benches with cross bracing. Now trialing different wheels. Also some replacing of sheeting at target catchers.
Just BTW, Club president/secretary Simon did very well at recent State SSAA Rimfire championship at Millmerran. Won the IRB (2 days) and Group shooting for HV class and the combined for groups. 👏👏👏

Posted here are the details released for the upcoming National Championships in Rimfire and Air rifle Benchrest competition (WRABF). To be held in Brisbane November 11-15 at the Brisbane International Shooting Centre (BISC).

Last Sundays scores from the club match. A couple of things to note, Roger Sheehy has been a member for a long time and slowly but surely been improving his scores. On Sunday he shot his first ever 250 target. He was very happy. Well done indeed Roger. 👏
Also Matt B is a regular visitor to Hornets now days and shot a 250 which I believe was his first too. 👏
Another great day out. Morning tea was great. In fact wonderful! Thanks again Jade.
A couple of other shooters not on this score sheet but there doing Air Rifle. Interesting to see Neil sneaking in with a new design of Unlimited class Air rifle!
Great fun all round. GO HORNETS.😎

Allow an extra hour or so for this club shoot. Because of Morning tea and a club meeting to discuss planning for National Championships in November.
👍😉. See you there. Two relays so you can share. Air Rifle or Rimfire.

May Comp over, conditions weren't great switching wind, rain squalls but some good stuff for those that waited ( maybe ). Great day was had with plenty of happy banter or having a go depends on your point of view😁. Special mention to Jade for setting a up a wonderful morning tea to take away the stress of dealing with the conditions. Another special mention goes to Darryl shooting his air rifle at 25, an outstanding result compared to others shooting rimfire. Many Hornets members were also at Belmont shooting in the 2026 rimfire Fly championship today and took out most of the top 6 places. Go Hornets👍

Some of our Hornet Club members and other RBA people from Maryborough etc are “out in the Outback” at a match with the Charleville Smallbore Club.
Charleville is about 750km west of Brisbane.
Enjoying the friendly country competition and fellowship.
These matches include RBA and the TRA Benchrest.
Simon Shultz won day 1 so far. 👍

More from last Sundays club match at Hornets.
Jade helped create a great morning tea for everyone also. 🧡
Good results. Day won by Mitch, then Simon and Matt.
👏👏👏

April comp over.
Great turn out with plenty of fun had, morning tea was a welcome change just to make things that much better.
Conditions were all over the place with rain, wind and a few calm spots just to test everybody. Congratulations to Mitch for a well deserved win and of note is our newest member ,first comp only the 3rd time shooting and her scores improved dramatically through the day so keep an eye on Jade.
