WITH Australia Day activities in adjacent towns and villages, numbers were down at the Inglewood SSAA Australia Day shoot.
Two new faces, Jamie Elliott and nephew Chris enjoyed the day with a handful of regulars. For Chris Elliott it was his first experience with a firearm.
Club guest Gills Rajan who hails from Kerala State in south western India and works in Kuwait, gave the day a real multicultural touch.
Gills was en-route to New Zealand and with a 36-hour Australian stopover decided to drive out to Inglewood to join the group for a shoot (as many international travellers are want to do!).
With such a small group there was plenty of practice and not a lot of competition. The club did hold a muzzle-loading five-target Seneca Run which was won by club stalwart Graham (Scruffy) Morgan.
Morgan proved too accurate for Anthony Badesso and international club guest Gills Rajan. Tailing that trio was club President Tom Donald.
With things returning to normal this weekend a big group is expected for – “clays all day” rimfire benchrest practice and pistol practice.
