Southern Downs Rifle Club

THE club held its Christmas party on Sunday1 December and were shooting on the 600-yard range.
The shoot was one that many participants would rather forget as the conditions on the day proved to be terrible. Many were not able to conquer the changeable wind and mirage.
Scores for Target Rifle (Iron Sight ) shooters out of a possible 105 were Gary Porter 96.2 and Chris Neave 90.3. Scope Class shooters out of a possible 126 were Beth Caskey 120.5, Bob Tyllyer 114.5, Graham Eagle 113.5, Margaret Taylor 104.2, Paul Read 103.1, David Taylor 101.1, Carl Reid 100.1, Bob Locke 100.1 and Barry Russell 96, Carl Reid counted out Bob Locke on countback a great score by Beth Caskey, considering the conditions.
On Sunday 8 December competition will be on the 400-yard range. The club welcomes new members. Those people wishing to try long range target shooting should come along and try the sport. It is a great sport to be involved in and you will meet some great people who are only too happy to assist.
