OK, so I was an RO at WSX - why wasn't my stage shown you miserable bugger! I see I made this point 6 years ago but never got any reply! Thanks for nothing. I had occasion to DQ a South African competitor who moaned and went to arbitration. I think the fact that they had put a round into the ground just in front of their feet probably was important. At least that's what I remember - long, long time ago now. ;-)
Love the bike! I missed out on these awesome stages which used to be allowed, like cars etc but at least we still are allowed handguns in Australia (well for now) One of the UK's best IPSC shooters emigrated out here after Dunblaine and now runs IPSC at Bowral Pistol Club. A completely lovely bloke and we are lucky to have him.
I was there!!! That was back when we were (semi) trusted by our fantastic Govt ..... Whoever uploaded this deserves a big thanks from me!!! I 'lost' aka lent my VHS (remember that?) tape to I forget who a number of years ago and have tried to find another off and on since.
I've had the pleasure of meeting Rob Leatham, Todd Jarrett, Kay Miculek, and Doug Koenig at some USPSA/3G matches! Excellent shooters and friendly people!
minervius The UK governments around the times of 1996 &97 sold us out for votes, nothing more & nothing less. Deflected the Dunblane Massacre & the 100 closure order away from them.
In the days before the do-gooders ruined the sport of pistol shooting. I wish I was 10'years older, then at least I would of had the chance to shoot a handgun at Bisley.
IPSC always has an epic drinking-fest lol Australia is upholding the fine tradition, we feel for you Brits very keenly...there but for the potential capriciousness of Govt go we, as well.
I remember it all so well. Happy days
I also remember it well. I produced, directed and distributed the video
Well it's a great video & I love the soundtrack too. This shows what pistol shooting is all about.

nobody got hurt, everybody had a good time. no crime was commited. every criminal avoided being there. so the UK banned that in 1996.

Remmember it well, a lot of hard work but worth it.

Pissed off they didn't show my stage but at least they had the one I built - the bank.
Nor was there any indication of the epic drinking-fest!

My father was there, he owned Elite sales and services and I believe sponsored some prizes with Tanfoglio! I heard about the drinking fest lol
NEVER SEE THIS AGAIN !
Damn....Rob Leatham sounded so manly 20 years ago didn't he...
