Welcome to the website for the Great Britain Match Rifle Team tour to Victoria, Australia, in October 2022. The website will chart our progress through training and the tour, culminating in the international match with Australia, The Woomera. We will post regular updates, and information on a range of topics, both here and on our Facebook page.

Lunch, and 1100yds, done. Rain before we started and sun once the targets were up made for wet wind flags and interesting mirage for the coaches, and hot, humid conditions for firers wearing extra layers of clothing.![]()

Unsurprisingly both teams dropped more here than at 1000, both losing into double figures, but GB extended the lead: 587.62 (1180.146) plays 577.57 (1164.127). Still, close enough for 1200 to be the decider.
