These points gradually accumulate to give players rankings against all other players in Australia.

Our next shoot is at 1pm Sunday, July 15 and will be an animal target at both ranges. We played the game ‘where’s Wally’ and found him! Now where’s Bazil?

What has happened to him? The electronic media on national TV are letting out a lot of untrue information relation to getting a license and purchasing legal firearms.

A lot of checks and balances have to be satisfied before a person can get either and takes many months to satisfy and that is only the start of safe keeping and use of same and is not as simple as they make out.

Police do a primal check and finally an inspection of storage.
