A Little Precision Rifle

Today’s announcement from the Labor Government has genuinely troubled me.

As a sports shooter, I have invested countless hours volunteering, travelling, training, and competing in the sport I love. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars, money I worked hard for on equipment, memberships, and competitions. Along the way, I’ve formed lifelong friendships with some of the most supportive, respectful, and genuine people I’ve ever known.
I’ve proudly worn the green and gold and represented our country in the USA and New Zealand.

And for what? To be vilified and treated as though I pose a threat, based on nothing more than lawful firearm ownership.

No other sport in Australia lives under the constant fear of being legislated out of existence. More people are killed in car and motorcycle accidents every year, yet motorsport is not targeted. Violent assaults occur daily, yet combat sports are not blamed. Only when fi****ms are involved are the actions of a few used to justify punishment of an entire community.

Why? Because it’s convenient.

Taking a hard stance on gun laws creates the appearance of decisive action, while conveniently diverting attention away from deeper, more complex issues that actually drive crime and violence. It’s political theatre at the expense of law-abiding Australians who already operate under some of the strictest regulations in the world.

This is not evidence-based policy. It is fear-driven legislation—and it represents yet another failure of the current Australian government to engage honestly with responsible citizens and sporting communities.

To be clear, I didn’t write this - It was written by Australian sports shooters - Gavin and Shawn.
Without the shooting sports, I would never have met and become great friends with these people from all over the country! The sports shooting community is one of the most welcoming, inclusive and safest in the world.

Latest trip to NZ for Steel Shootout.

Great work Wilkie put on a solid match!
Match sponsor Carl from Sabre Tactical put in a huge effort delivering the goods supporting the sport and shooters.

An amazing location and the weather was perfect, thanks Mark for organizing that! 👌

I shot reasonably well.... Except for 1 stage that cost me, ended up in 6th so a couple of things to work on.

Can't wait till next time!
