Saturday’s overcast weather with very little breeze gave all shooters the opportunity to achieve good scores for Series 1 Match 1 at 300 yards to start the 2024-2025 season.

Visiting Target rifle shooter Les Fraser soon showed what he is capable of with a double possible scored for the day ahead of Graeme Bright and then John Coghill.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 11th May 2024, 300 yards, Series 4 Match 4.
Saturday’s last 300 yards event for the year was again held in overcast weather with the occasional shower of rain during the afternoon but the use of club awnings again proved their value in allowing the day to proceed. The occasionally variable easterly breeze was again difficult to read due to the wet flags although most shooters stage scores were consistent during the afternoon giving reasonable results.
Graeme Bright top scored the Target Rifle shooters for the day staying one point ahead of Steve Williams with John Coghill next in the group. James Clarke again excelled in Sporter Class losing just one point during his first stage while accumulating sixteen centre bulls, next in the class was Dave Hughes who finished just two points behind for his first experience of target shooting with his son Tristan Hughes next in the class.
