Shooters from the Southern Downs Rifle Club were faced with bleak, blustery conditions on the Risdon Range last Sunday. The testing conditions were never going to stop some excellent results from the crew. Kate Sexton who has only been shooting competitively for a couple of months has been in blistering form in recent weeks and again excelled in the Open class with yet another perfect score. Sexton relegated Richard McKillop to second place. In the Hunter/Sporter class and the Standard class members of the Snelling family led the way.
