Lost Bird Page 16 Australian Cla)Target Shooting News June 1996 The club has conducted two previous Nationals at which no known complaints about 'blacks' were forthcoming. Flums are excellent against trees and background hills, of which the Tasmanian Gun Club has none. Fluros are less easy to see against a blue sky and very poor against clouds. Since you are not able to foretell the weather and were fully aware of the excellent flat background, then "Why did you choose fluros?" During the Tasmanian State Carnival you were able to assess black target suitability, so "Why did you choose fluros?" Some two months prior to the Nationals three influential people Dear President viewed blacks, fluros and handed with the recommended targets I wish to refer to the loz shot load now being used by shooters, being black, so "Why did you choose fluros?" and now enforced by the A.C.T.A.
