A blustery wind and bleak conditions meant shooters on the at the 600-yard mound on Risdon Range had to work very hard for any good result last Sunday.
But once again Richard McKillop read the conditions extremely well and posted a fine score to seal another win. Kevin Jones also did well in the conditions and finished close up in second place.
In the standard class Geoff Volmerhause, a new member was the only entrant. He oped quite well with the wind and gained valuable experience as a result.
Neil Sexton found himself all alone in the Sporter Hunter class as Eddy, enjoying a change from open class was testing some new ammo.
