23.01.2022 For those that don't know Project 105 is the Law Reform Commission of WA's Discussion Paper for the review of the firearms act 1973. Put simply YOU need to act so that stupid regulations don't come into existence that would make it almost impossible to hunt or do anything for that matter. There have not been enough people submitting comments on some of the ridiculous regulations. You are urged to write to the commission (preferably hard copy to Law Reform Commission of WA, 12.../141 St Georges Tce, Perth 6000, or email to [email protected]). Click the contact us button above and that will take you to the Southern Districts Rifle Club Website where some extra information is available. You can also download a copy of the discussion paper and annexures along with a pre-written letter that you can send to the commission or take parts out of whatever you want to do. PLEASE SAVE YOUR SPORT, HOBBY, LIFESTYLE AND SEND A COMMENT THROUGH, IT'S NOT THAT HARD. www.sdrc.com.au to learn more

The Anzac Centenary is a milestone of special significance to all Australians. The First World War helped define us as people and as a nation. During the Anzac Centenary we will remember not only the original ANZACs who served at Gallipoli and the Western Front, but commemorate more than a century of service by Australian servicemen and women.

16.01.2022 YOUR HELP IS NEEDED On Tuesday the 10th of March 2015 the committee looking into recreational hunting in state forests hands their report to Parliament, sitting starts at 2:00pm. The report will be tabled then a short talk from the chairperson. On Wednesday the 11th of March 2015 starting from 3:15pm consideration of committee reports start with about 30 minutes given to the report, speakers from the committee will speak to the house on their findings. Over the last week the ...anti-hunting groups have been getting air and print time to voice their negative feelings to your hunting rights, they continue to make allegations of hunters doing the wrong things with no proof to back up the statements, we have struggled to get any air time to put our views of ethical conservation hunting across as it seems they dont want to listen due to it not being a feel good topic We need as many people as possible to attend parliament house from 2:45pm on Wednesday to show your support for the sport you love, we need people and families dressed smartly with no camo or hunting attire to show support for hunting. I have received word that the anti-hunting groups will be present from 9:00am Tuesday and going on previous meetings with these groups they will abuse you for what you do, so if you can make it and these people are there please dont get into a yelling match with them and show we are responsible people. After the Wednesday sitting we would like to gather outside the front of parliament house where the media will have been notified of our gathering to show our support for recreational hunting. This is the day that will be most important as Tuesday is just the tabling of the report. Ive made contact with the other shooting and hunting organisations in WA asking for their support in this matter, the response was very promising. So if you can make it along please remember we need to make a good showing of support and prove we are just another part of the WA community that for far too long hasnt had a voice. Rick Mazza from the Shooters and Fishers Party has put his life on hold to enter parliament for us so a couple of hours if you are available would be appreciated.

09.01.2022 The National Rifle Association in the United States has taken aim at Australia.The powerful gun lobby has argued that Australia's gun buy-back and ban on semi-automatic weapons in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 had not made the country safer.Provocatively titled 'Australia: There will be blood', the article was featured in the latest edition of the NRA's publication 'America's First Freedom'.The article claims that there was a growing consensus in Australia that... the gun reforms had been a failure.It states that Australians have been 'robbed' of their right to self-defence and that the laws 'empowered criminals - 'all without delivering the promised reduction in violent crime.'The article is written as a warning for the US arguing America heed the lesson:'Australia's gun confiscation is indeed a lesson to America: It is a sign of what is to come if we hold our rights lightly.' - See more at: http://www.skynews.com.au//nra-takes-aim-at-australia-over See more

08.01.2022 As you've all probably heard or read by now, the RSPCA has launched a direct attack on shooters/hunters. Everybody needs to get on board and support this ridiculous attack by the RSPCA. For those that weren't aware, the advert that the RSPCA had in the West (which can be viewed here - http://www.rspcawa.asn.au/ ) actually featured a Hare (not found in Western Australia but an American animal) and a photoshopped bullet wound with blood in the rear quarter. I don't have to tell... you how dumb that is as I'm confidant in your intelligence, the RSPCA appears to think that everyone is stupid. Please get behind this and show your support, follow the below link and get a letter in. It only takes a couple of minutes and by all means send something to the RSPCA as well but remember to keep it to the point and avoid the use of bad language etc. http://www.ssaawa.org.au//support-for-the-recommendations/

04.01.2022 The 11th Battalion was among the first infantry units raised for the AIF during the First World War. It was the first battalion recruited in Western Australia, and with the 9th, 10th and 12th Battalions it formed the 3rd Brigade. The battalion was raised within weeks of the declaration of war in August 1914 and embarked for overseas after just two weeks of preliminary training. It arrived in Egypt to continue its training in early December. The 3rd Brigade was the covering f...orce for the ANZAC landing on 25 April 1915 and so was the first ashore at around 4:30 am. Ten days after the landing, a company from the 11th Battalion mounted the AIF's first raid of the war against Turkish positions at Gaba Tepe. Subsequently, the battalion was heavily involved in defending the front line of the ANZAC beachhead. In August, it made preparatory attacks at the southern end of the ANZAC position before the battle of Lone Pine. The 11th Battalion continued to serve at ANZAC until the evacuation in December. After the withdrawal from Gallipoli, the 11th Battalion returned to Egypt. It was split to help form the 51st Battalion, and then bought up to strength with reinforcements. In March 1916, the battalion sailed for France and the Western Front. From then until 1918, the battalion took part in bloody trench warfare. Its first major action in France was at Pozieres in the Somme valley in July. After Pozieres, the battalion manned trenches near Ypres in Flanders before returning to the Somme valley for winter. In 1917 the battalion took part in the brief advance that followed the German Army's retreat to the Hindenburg Line. During a German counterattack at Louverval, France, in April 1917 Lieutenant Charles Pope was killed performing the deed for which he would be awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross. The battalion subsequently returned to Belgium to participate in the offensive that became known as the Third Battle of Ypres. The battalion helped to stop the German spring offensive in March and April 1918, and later that year participated in the great Allied offensive launched east of Amiens on 8 August 1918. This advance by British and empire troops was the greatest success in a single day on the Western Front, one that German General Erich Ludendorff described as "the black day of the German Army in this war". The 11th Battalion continued operations until late September 1918. At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent. This armistice was followed by a peace treaty, signed at Versailles on 28 June 1919. In November 1918 members of the AIF began to return to Australia. In February 1919, the 11th and 12th Battalions were amalgamated due to steadily declining numbers in both battalions. They remained so linked until their last members returned home for demobilisation and discharge. Ref: https://www.awm.gov.au/unit/U51451/

04.01.2022 The Lee-Enfield bolt-action, magazine-fed, repeating rifle was the main firearm used by the military forces of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the first half of the 20th century. It was the British Army's standard rifle from its official adoption in 1895 until 1957. A redesign of the Lee-Metford (adopted by the British Army in 1888), the Lee-Enfield superseded the earlier Martini-Henry, Martini-Enfield, and Lee-Metford rifles. It featured a ten-round box magazine w...hich was loaded with the .303 British cartridge manually from the top, either one round at a time or by means of five-round chargers. The Lee-Enfield was the standard issue weapon to rifle companies of the British Army and other Commonwealth nations in both the First and Second World Wars (these Commonwealth nations included Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa, among others). Although officially replaced in the UK with the L1A1 SLR in 1957, it remained in widespread British service until the early/mid-1960s and the 7.62 mm L42 sniper variant remained in service until the 1990s. Total production of all Lee-Enfields is estimated at over 17 million rifles. The Lee-Enfield takes its name from the designer of the rifle's bolt systemJames Paris Leeand the factory in which it was designedthe Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield. In Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Southern Africa and India the rifle became known simply as the "303". The fast-operating Lee bolt-action and 10-round magazine capacity enabled a well-trained rifleman to perform the "mad minute" firing 20 to 30 aimed rounds in 60 seconds, making the Lee-Enfield the fastest military bolt-action rifle of the day. The current world record for aimed bolt-action fire was set in 1914 by a musketry instructor in the British ArmySergeant Instructor Snoxallwho placed 38 rounds into a 12-inch-wide (300 mm) target at 300 yards (270 m) in one minute. Some straight-pull bolt-action rifles were thought faster, but lacked the simplicity, reliability, and generous magazine capacity of the Lee-Enfield. Several First World War accounts tell of British troops repelling German attackers who subsequently reported that they had encountered machine guns, when in fact it was simply a group of well-trained riflemen armed with SMLE Mk III rifles.
