Daily Bisley Blogs from Shiraz Balolia
This year Shiraz Balolia, U.S. Team Vice Captain, plans to provide Daily Updates on the World Championships via a Web Blog. In his first Blog entry, Balolia writes: “On July 17th [there are] three matches, the Century 500 and 600 yards and the Admiral Hutton 900 yards. There are a number of different matches just about every single day until Saturday the 25th of July. Then, the World Championships start on Monday July 27, 2009.
The whole U.S. F-Class Open team will be shooting the proven 6.5-284 caliber. Several of the other teams are shooting the ballistically superior 7mm calibers, but we expect to outwit them with our calculated wind calls. The English have a ‘home court’ advantage and are utilizing their best wind readers who know the nuances of their ranges inside out.”

Best of LUCK to all the USA F-Class Team!
Best of luck to all teams competing! The Late “Farky” was from my home range in Kamloops, BC and in his honor, we have just completed the first stage in a new 900M range named in his honor.
I am sure he would be amazed at how his humble beginnings have grown into the sport that it is today, complete with tool built specifically for the task.
Good Luck all, and please hoist one to the late George “Farky” Farquharson!
