NZ Team in South Africa

Bloemfontein - 29 May 2009

Report from Dave von Elling

Hello New Zealand,

We all arrived safely after a long trip, very tired on Cathay Pacific. Went to visit an ammunition factory in Pretoria and then practice at police range north of Pretoria. Arrived Bloem Thursday, very cold and sometimes wet.

Practice on Friday with Dutch Team and British Royal Air Force Team.

Saturday SANDF Champs - weather was terrible and wind cold, high and very tricky.

Results.

  • Dave 12th 3 medals 390 out of 500.
  • Tony 15th 1 medal 389
  • Ralph 41st 367 using Dutch C7 with Elcan on top.
  • Kevin 106th 296 with stoppages

263 competitors

Having a good time. Tomorrow Team matches. Tuesday Individual starts. Confident in doing well.

Love you all.
Team NZ
