Last weekend we saw nine shooters attend the deep lead shooting complex. They shot at ordinary targets at 25 and blowfly targets at 50 meters with a maximum of 500 points.

Target rifles and heavy barrelled rifles

Field rifles

There were a lot of blow flies shot at the 50 meter range but they were still and not flying! Our next shoot is at 1pm Sunday, September 8 and will be an animal target at both ranges.

On Saturday, September 7 at 9am we will be holding a working bee out at the range with Parkes Pistol Club to do repairs and anything that needs to be done to keep the range ready for our next inspection by the firearms registry.

Bring along gloves and there will be light work for those that can't lift anymore.

A rake would be handy and we will have many tools ourselves.
