Worlds 2014 - pics etc

Well the worlds 2014 has been and gone, many adversities were encountered, on and off the course, and overcome.
Some shooters had issues even leaving their countries with their rifles (Aussies, and an American) but they got here regardless. The Italian entrant and an American were even given rifles here to use!
Our own shooter Ian (nunga) struggled with scope issues leading up to it, vehicle issues on the trip down, more scope issues there, but still battled through to take 2nd HP springer, well done buddy. And congrats to Speedy VanZyl as well for making it an AirArms 1-2-3 Hp springer event.
Scott's sidewheel decided to leave his scope…with the turret still inside it, but in true kiwi form carried on, with a couple of fixes along the way.
International entrants helped with course design (John Costello on of the more memorable - push it back further, sacred tree? It's in the way:) )
Day 1 saw mass failure throughout the targets, and a few of us worked through till late in the night fixing and testing them, knowing it would no doubt have an impact on our scores, but with positive praise from Andy Kay's (wftf president) of our integrity and dedication.
Day 2 went much better, and day 3 actually saw sunshine :) what a relief.

A shootout at the end to decide 2-3-4-5-6, then dinner and prizegiving.

Lots of socialising and stories every night, loads of new friends made and old ones seen again.
