Club captain Jim Blackmore, who has shot perfect scores of 100 for the past two weeks, was hoping for a hat trick. Unfortunately that was not to be with Blackmore posting two stages of 49 and centres.

By the end of the day Tony Moon was the eventual winner in Target Rifle A Grade with a final tally of 98 and 10 centres over Blackmore’s 98 with seven centres.

Long time club member Max Purnell had a good day with a new rifle. Purnell shot a perfect 50 with five centres in his first stage to end the day with a final score of 96 with eight centres and took home the win in Target Rifle B grade.

However the red-hot competition was amongst the F Class Shooters across all grades and disciplines. Junior shooter Todd Barnard returned to the range, still in a leg brace, to shoot an excellent score of 115 with five centres in F Class A Grade and take home the win in this grade. Not to be outdone, novice shooter Gabby Hunter in F Class B Grade also shot a total score of 115 with five centres however was second to Barnard in the off gun stakes on a count back. But then, in a welcome return to form Christina Adams shot a blistering second stage in the Open division to take the F Class off gun kudos with a final score of 115 and seven centres. Todd Barnard was the winner of the afternoon’s handicap event.

Next week shooters move to the 700-yard range.
