21st December 2025, 500 Yards

As this year is coming to a close and the jolly big red gentleman is reading his list. We at the Southern Downs Rifle Club had our Christmas shoot.  We were shooting on the 500 yard mound.  We had 25 shooters and we were trying a new event with 3 rounds of 10 shots.  Some of us had trouble concentrating for the third round.  We had some very good scores with very tricky conditions.

Well done Hayden A  winning in F Open, John C winning in F Standard, Jeff W winning in PC and Femy C winning in PCO.  Femy is the only shooter today who didn't drop a shot.
