The Southern Downs Rifle Club was one of the few sporting organisations on the Southern Downs that was not negatively impacted by the wet conditions last weekend.
Fortunately, the rain held off as competition got under way the club’s headquarters at Risdon Range on Sunday morning.
There were some standout performances during the shoot. Dave Taylor tested his new rifle for the first time in the Standard Class. It appears that no adjustments are required as Taylor put down a perfect score to win the class. Geoff Vollmerhause finished in second place.
In the open class Richard McKillop was in the good form we have come to expect. He missed a perfect score by just one point, Kevin Jones and Bruce McAllan tied for the runner position up. Kevin sneaking ahead by three “X” points.
There was an excellent field in the sporter/ hunter class on Sunday and it Brendan Bunting (97.5) who claimed the honours in the class.
