Last weekend we saw eight shooters attend the Deep Lead shooting complex. They shot at ordinary targets at both 25 and 50 meters for a maximum of 500 points. This match was shot under very strong westerly winds changing from north west to south west without any warning, making shooting very hard at times.
Target Rifles: Brian Drabsch 249, 247, 496, Craig Gibbson 246, 247, 493, David Wilson 249, 241, 490.
Field Rifles: John Smeaton 244, 240, 484. Ron Cunningham 243, 240, 483. Glenn Pepper 244 for 25 meters only.
Two shots for practice only. Our next shoot is at 10am Sunday, March 17 and will again be ordinary targets at both ranges. After March 31 we will return to animal targets each second week and these double as a hunting target.
