Wind conditions challenge shooters

By Casey O'Connor

Conditions last Sunday on the Risdon Range challenged even the most experienced competitors. The very strong and swirling winds provided the excellent turnout of shooters with plenty of headaches. Members welcomed new shooters, Abby Hannaford Jade Sheehan and Ben Squires. The trio could barely have picked worse conditions. Hopefully the group were not deterred and return.

With the benefit of experience Richard McKillop proved a force to be reckoned with in the F Standard Class. His 120.4, a winning score. Craig Montgomery was successful in the Open Class and the Hunter/Sporters class was won by Jamie Squires.
