Last weekend nine shooters attended the Deep Lead Shooting complex on the Back Trundle Road and shot at the popular Fox targets at both 25 and 50 metres for a total collective score of 530.53 points.

Target rifles:

Brian Drabsch – 280.27 (25 metres), 250.24, 530.51 (total).

Basyl Rudenko – 280.24, 250.23, 530.47.

Ken Morley – 280.25, 249.18, 529.43.

Field rifles:

Stephen Westcott – 271.11 (25 metres), 239.07 (50 metres), 510.18 (total).

Des Morris – 237.09, 236.07, 473.16.

Four shot for practice only.

The figure given after the decimal point is central bulls-eyes with the maximum 53 in all.

With last weekend being a sort of long weekend, sometimes it works for numbers but in this case it failed with many regular shooters away.

The next shoot will be at 1pm on Sunday (31st) and will be the new Buffalo Targets at 25 metres and ordinary ones at 50 metres.

Each weekend the club tries to vary the different targets with some counting as target shooting and others as hunting attendances by toning up your shooting skills.

There has been some new shooters lately and tried this sport and hopefully when they find the right gear they will join the club and attend on a regular basis.

An invitation is extended to anyone with a Shooting License to come along and try for themselves, even if they are not SSAA members.

The club has .22 ammunition available at the range each weekend and can also loan a rifle to anyone interested in trying their hand at shooting.

Please ring Brian on 6862 1969, and he will bring a spare rifle along on the day.
