Davide Wilson 250.26 for 25 meters only and then he shot another target for practice for an upcoming competition away.

On Saturday, September 7 at 9am we will be holding a working bee with the Parkes Pistol Club to clean up both rangers and other work that needs to be carried out, please help if you can on the day.
