Shooters from the Southern Downs Rifle Club gathered at the 400 yard mound last Sunday.
Although it was a perfect spring morning and conditions looked ideal there was a variable gusty wind that could catch out the unwary competitor.
Results in the F Open Class were once again close. Greg Wilson shot away to a clear lead but there was little between the place getters.
The competition in F open was very close with Greg taking first place next three scores as Dave Taylor Bruce McAllan and Margaret Taylor battled it out for the placings.
Richard McKillop had another good score to take the honours in the F Standard Class ahead of Daryl Reck and Joe Wood.
Gary Snelling had the field to himself in the Hunter Sporter Class
