Two new targets were trialled but they didn’t stand up to well as the rain wet them and the cardboard backing sheets. Our next shot is at 10am on Sunday, June 24. There will be ordinary targets at both ranges. Numbers have dropped of since March 31, the end of the 12 months reporting period but now is the time to get your four shoots up before the same time next year. There is no waiting to shoot at this time of the year as we have 11 shooting bays, do it now please!
