26th April 2026, 600 Yards

Apr 29
1 min read

It was the final shooting Sunday for the month of April, held at the 600-yard mound. With cooler autumn weather, conditions proved to be quite difficult throughout the day. Shooters faced light to moderate winds switching from left to right, alternating sunshine and overcast, and heavy mirage—all of which challenged shooters’ ability to read the condition.


Despite these tricky conditions, two competitors' shot possible, each achieving the same score of 105.13 in their respective classes. Congratulations to Femy Cook in Sporter Open and Glenn Scott in Sporter Production.


In the F-Open category, Neil Sexton led the field with a score of 124.6, while in F-Standard, Carl Read topped the class with 113.7.


Well done to everyone who competed.


Next week we will be shooting on the 300 yard mound. The new starting time for the winter shoot is 8:30 a.m. sign on for 9 a.m. If you have any questions about our sporting community southern downs rifle club please phone Margaret - 46661018.
