Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 25th July 2020, 700 yards. W Northcott Memorial Trophy.
The expected rain last Saturday was slow to arrive allowing all shooters to complete the day’s competition for the W Northcott Memorial Trophy, K Harvey Trophy and the first 700 yards round of this year’s Club Championship. The overcast weather and an almost complete lack of wind appeared to offer an opportunity for some good scores but there must have been some gremlins at play as almost all shooters were not able to capitalise on the conditions.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 18th July 2020, 600 yards Diggers & G James Cups.
Last Saturday again attracted a good field of club members for the final round of the Diggers & G James Cups competition which has been contested over the last six weeks and finishing at 600 yards. Saturday was also another Club Championship round and the third stage of the K Harvey Trophy on mostly sunny day with very slight breeze that varied during the afternoon from easterly to westerly causing just enough difficulty to lower the average of most shooters scores.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 11th July 2020, 500 yards Diggers & G James Cups.
Saturday again saw a great attendance of shooters for the fifth stage of the diggers & G James Cups from 500 yards. A somewhat steady westerly breeze still managed to catch those not wary enough but the cool and overcast weather made for very good sighting with a rare lack of visible mirage allowing many shooters to score above their average.
The standout Target Rifle shooter was again Graeme Bright leading the day with only one point lost while scoring ten centre bulls and a second stage possible to finish two points ahead of Steve Williams with eight centre bulls and a second stage possible.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 4th July 2020, 300 yards Diggers & G James Cups.
A full complement of the regular shooters came along for the fourth stage of the Diggers & G James Cups Competition last Saturday shooting from 300 yards. A cold breeze from the west to south west only settled for short periods and mostly varied continuously in strength and direction to catch most shooters with a drop off or a gust at least once.
In Target Rifle Graeme Bright continued his consistent form of late to finish one point ahead of the trio Gordon Shepherd, Ron Gibson and Steve Williams with Shepherd claiming the highest count of centre bulls for the day and Gibson finishing with the best stage shoot for the day.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 27th June 2020, 600 yards Diggers & G James Cups.
A fine but cool day with a rear fishtail breeze greeted shooters for the first 600-yard range of the Club Championship and Diggers and G James Cups. There did not appear to be much in the conditions although there were some flutters in the breeze, but for the most part scores were quite good.
Geoff Willis was the only one able to take full advantage with a 60.4 possible to set up a 3-point break from the rest of his F-class opponents. Col Howell 57.3 and Phil Mahon 57.1 were his nearest competitors while Jeff Eppleston 55.0 and Nick Webster 54.1 completed the balance of the field.
