Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 6th August 2022, T W Willman Trophy 900 yards.
Saturdays competition for the T W Willman Trophy from 900 yards was contested in strong westerly winds varying from 12 up to 20 kph that were rarely consistent for very long making top scores difficult to achieve.
The Target Rifle Class shooters all had a similar slow start with their first stage scores but Gordon Shepherd held on well during his second stage losing just one point early to take the days honours ahead of Graeme Bright with John Coghill slipping behind on his last couple of shots for the day.
F Class shooter Geoff Willis put lessons learnt in similar conditions to use and wasted no time in getting his shots away to lead the class two points ahead of Jeff Eppleston and then Mal Wright who were separated by only one super centre.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 9th July 2022, Digger & G James Cups 300 yards.
The fourth round of the Diggers & G James Cups held last Saturday saw a good attendance of shooters including a couple of regular visitors. The light and variable westerly breeze was mostly not too difficult but ready to catch those not watching on occasion and while the cold was bearable when the sun made it through the cloud, it was bitterly cold without sun and with the breeze.
Graeme Bright held on to top spot in Target Rifle Class after gaining a one point advantage over Steve Williams in the first stage, while they both finished with possible scores in their second stages. Gordon Shepherd started out with a leading score in his first stage but crashed towards the end of his second stage with John Coghill finishing three points away next after an improved second stage where he scored five centre bulls.
