Field Rifles

The wind changed several times whilst shooting, from southwest to northwest which made it hard to read at times. Our next shoot is at 10am Sunday, October 27 which will be ordinary targets at both ranges. After that shoot all attendances will be sent into the state branch and anyone who does not have their required shoots will be sent out a reminder, either by mail or email if you have supplied them with yours.
