Parkes SSAA Smallbore
Last weekend we saw only six shooters attend the Deep Lead shooting complex. They shot at ordinary targets at both 25 and 50 meters for a maximum of 500 points.
Target rifles
- Brian Drabsch 250, 246, 496
- John Davis 250, 244, 494
- Paul Hocking 250, 242, 492
Field Rifles
- Ron Cunningham 250, 245, 495
- John Smeaton 249, 234, 483
- One shot lie down Smallbore for practice.
This match was shot under changing winds. Mostly westerly which caught out everyone at the 50 meter range as it changed direction.
Our next shoot is at 10am Sunday, December 9 and will be Fox targets at both ranges. With the Pistol Club we held a working e on Saturday with two trailers being taken away from the range along with a ute full of broken concrete slabs, where did it all come from?
All the leaves and mud were cleaned out of the completely blocked buttering, perhaps we might get some water in the 10,000 litre tank that we missed in the last rain.
