Southern Down Rifle Club members arriving the Risdon Range last Sunday morning were hit with some true wintery conditions as they prepared for the shoot at the 400 yard mound
For those hardy troopers who attended conditions on the range were quite good and thee were many good performances in all classes. None more so than Kevin Jones on the Open class. He recorded a good score of 125.13 and missed the maximum score by just one point.
Hot on his heels were Greg Wilson and Tom McGovern.
Geoff Volmerhause continues to make steady improvement each shoot in the Standard class.
