24.01.2022 Isolation activity - No one said you cant design the next course. Ground setting is a tough gig - have a go with a blank canvas.

22.01.2022 Just for a bit of fun since we cant shoot, post a pic of what youd buy if you won Tattslotto. Me, Id visit Edinburgh when were allowed to travel, to order one of these. Might stop in Spain or Italy on the way back, but thats another post.
21.01.2022 FGA was appalled to receive this email on Friday in which Victoria Police make the threat that as Victorians and firearm licence holders if we blatantly and de...liberately breach the restrictions in place by the Chief Health Officer then your licence can be suspended, cancelled or may be subject to a reprimand which could harm any future licensing. This positive discrimination is unacceptable. We saw earlier this year the over reach by Victoria Police with firearms retailers. This is again another over reach discriminating again against firearms licence holders. Over the weekend FGA has written to the Minister for Police, the Executive Director LRD and also made a complaint to the Victorian Discrimination Commissioner about this outrageous over reach and positive discrimination by Victoria Police. If you feel discriminated then please make a complaint to the Discrimination Commissioner at https://makeacomplaint.humanrights.vic.gov.au/ FGA has been very clear that we must respect and comply with restrictions in place to protect us and battle the spread of COVID19. To imply that Blatant and deliberate disregard of the CHOs directions endangers public safety and calls into question a licence holders suitability to be licenced in an area that requires a strong emphasis on safety is disgraceful and again tries to paint licensed firearms holders in a poor light. This behaviour must be called out. FGA will be taking this issue up on behalf of members.

21.01.2022 Australia’s major hunting organisations are taking a combined, cohesive approach to address challenges as Victoria moves towards new animal protection legislati...on and to shape the framework to ensure that hunting continues to grow and to play its important role in the community - socially, environmentally and economically. Field & Game Australia, Australian Deer Association, Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (Victoria) and Victorian Hound Hunters have agreed on core principles and on a shared facilitator to prepare a detailed submission to the directions paper and an engagement effort beyond that. Animal Welfare is core business for hunters we share deep and unique responsibility for the welfare of both the animals we hunt and of our companion animals.
21.01.2022 Got a question for the guys @ Field & Game?

20.01.2022 Some good news for duck hunters! We are still waiting on further easing of restrictions to allow Simulated Field competitions to resume. At this stage we will see no change until at least Monday 22nd June 2020. We look forward to seeing you all again soon, stay safe!
20.01.2022 Our friends in Bairnsdale have this raffle on the go. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3870104919737030&id=400131880067702
20.01.2022 Look forward to getting to the other side of this.
18.01.2022 Field & Game Australia has today made its submission to the Game Management Authority with regards to the Victorian Duck Hunting Season 2021. FGA can find no ev...idence that could argue that the legislated season as prescribed in law should be changed. FGA also recommended that the changing to opening times that was introduced as a pilot for 2 years in 2018, has not currently demonstrated any benefits and, therefore the opening times as prescribed within the law need to be in place for the 2021 season. DJPR who were at the meeting had no response when asked to provide a report or evidence of benefits. The GMA when pressed admitted they had provided information to DJPR some 18 months ago. We are now in January 2021 and still no report. FGA challenged DJPR who have committed to follow up the outcomes. FGA has also prepared a supplementary report which we intend to send direct to Ministers and Departments which further evidences our position, which is based on the facts and data and is defendable not based on emotion or subjective views. Also at the meeting to present to the GMA were RSPCA who's policy position is to oppose duck hunting period. Animals Australia who's position was to ban a season in 2021, Birdlife Australia who's view was that breeding stock would be significantly impacted and SSAA who also supported a full season. As the only duck hunting organisation with a seat at the table, we prosecuted our case directly to the GMA. Further more we will be also be speaking directly to Ministers and prosecuting our case on behalf of you our members. We take great pride and responsibility to represent members to ensure sustainable duck hunting in Victoria continues for generations. The full submission will be available on our website later today.

Weve done a lot of work to get to this point and it was great to see everyone enjoying the day. The self nomination through MCMS worked a treat and Im very impressed with the new features. More updates to come that will improve the experience for everyone. The format to shoot 75 straight seemed to work well and we may continue to develop and use it into the future.... We tried to give you as close to a competition experience as possible. Big thanks to the committee and ground crew that were at the working bee last week and again today bright and early to ensure a great event. Theres a lot of learning well take away from running this one. Were always open to suggestions for improvement.
