Three people shot for practice only.
The match was shot in northerly winds which caught out all the shooters as it came over the concrete dividing wall when it changed velocity.
The next shoot will be at 1pm this Sunday and will be at Buffalo targets on both ranges.
It will be the second last shoot for 2014.
Reminder letters should soon be sent out to those shooters who are yet to complete their four shoots for the 12 month reporting period.
If a shooter gets one, they should attend the shooting complex as soon as possible to avoid the annual last minute rush.
Shooters are reminded they can’t use high velocity ammunition at the complex.
The club has the correct ammunition at the range each weekend.

SPORTING CLAYS
At last month’s shoot, 10 shooters attended to shoot in an 75 target day over two events.
Event 1 (60 target known rise): Greg Howarth 59, Greg Buckley 55, David Wilson 53, Brian Drabsch 53, Alan Briton 50, Ben Gibson 49, Eric Miles 47, Craig Gibson 36, Zack Gibson 28, Nick Gibson 26.
Event 2 (15 target rabbit across the front of shooters):
Greg Howarth 15, Alan Briton 14, Brian Drabsch 13, Greg Buckley 10, David Wilson 10, Eric Miles 10, Zack Gibson 10, Craig Gibson 8, Ben Gibson 6, Nick Gibson 5.
This event showed the new shooters where their shot was hitting the ground, usually behind the target, which allowed them to correct their second shot.
The next shoot is at 1pm tomorrow and will be similar to the last shoot.
It will be the last of 2014.
Any type of shotgun can be used at the range but shooters are restricted to shot not larger than No 6 shot.
The club has that at the range for licenced shooters.
