Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 31st August 2019. 600yds. W & J Brown Trophy.
After the early morning wind disappeared shortly before the start of shooting on Saturday some shooters may have thought they were in for easy shooting conditions but as usual Mother Nature gave us an interesting afternoon that varied from the flags hanging down the poles to a light but unpredictable South Easterly breeze. Few shooters were lucky enough to go through with their scores appearing relatively unaffected while others wondered where the odd wide shot came come from.
Steve Williams dominated TR Class dropping only two points for the day while scoring the only possible for his second stage and amassing twelve centre bulls as well.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 24th August 2019. 900yds. W & J Brown Shield.
Saturday started with very little breeze in the morning and the sun shining bright with a clear blue sky made for a pleasant day to be outside. By midday the wind had picked up from the west increasing in strength to around 20 k/h with some occasional stronger gusts and by the time shooting commenced the wind direction was swinging to come from the north-west and then back from the west again giving continual direction and strength changes for the shooters to contend with. This made for a very challenging task to achieve high scores for this club championship round with the newer members and visitors experiencing how tough 900 yards at the Bathurst range can be.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 17rd August 2019. 600yds. J Sibera Trophy.
Saturday saw a return to shooting after the previous weeks shooting was postponed due to inclement weather. This brought us back to 600 yards for the final round of the J Sibera Trophy and another Club Championship round. With another great roll up of shooters the decision was made to set up and calibrate another of the new electronic targets prior to starting the shooting which used up some extra time early on but all shooters still managed to get through in time. The day began with the flags mostly hanging beside the poles, then finished later on with similar conditions but during the afternoon a tricky and hard to read at times west to south westerly came and went along with the accompanying mirage to upset most shooters chance at an easy days conditions.
