What a day for shooting.  We had very few perfect scores today as the weather Gods thought lets make it difficult to shoot perfect scores.  We had wind from four different ways.  The boiling mirage was very interesting for us.  The two shooters who didn't find it difficult were Femy C and John C. with a top score of 105.15 in PCO.  Femy winning on a countback.  John was very proud of his wife.  Great shooting, both of you.  Winning in F Open was Hayden A with 125.14 and Ashle

Today we had 17 shooters.  It started with a short rain shower then the ground heated up with the sun and cloud cover.  Shooting was quite tricky.  Some of us had trouble reading the wind. Our Club Champion didn't have as much trouble as some.  Well shot Kevin B only dropping one shot in F Open.  It must have been the day of the Kevins as Kevin J won F Standard.  Husband and wife duo shot in different classes this week.  That way the family can relax without having to hear ho

Today we had 21 shooters.  F Open being the largest group today with 12 shooting on the 600 yard mound.

With the weather looking like it might rain we had a smaller number brave the conditions.  We were very lucky to have a calm condition to shoot this morning.  We put up the gazebo so if it rained we wouldn't get wet.  We shot on the 500 yard mound with nine shooters.  Winner of the F Open Richard M 126.17, F Standard Kevin J 119.6, PCO John C 125.18. Next week we'll be shooting on the 600 yard mound.  Let's hope we have good weather with little wind and our scopes are clear.

We had 19 shooters today for our 400 yard mound shoot.  With an overcast morning some of us found the conditions not as easy as our club champion Kevin B.  Kevin coming first 5 times in a row.  The only thing Kevin seems to be having trouble with is stringing 5 x's together.   Next Sunday 16th November we will be shooting on the 500 yard mound. Come and sign the range register at 7.30am for an 8 am start. See you all next week. Results F Open Kevin B (Club Champion) 126.17 L

Today we had 18 shooters as we were shooting on the 400 yard mound.  The sun was shining and the wind was very gentle but very tricky.  We had some very good rounds in the first string but as the morning heated up the conditions changed for a few. PCO was a very tight competition today with only one shot separating the group. Well done Geoff V again on the top for F Open,  John C for first place in F Standard, Femy C in PCO and Ashley in first place in PC.   Next week we'll b
