Saturday provided some magnificent weather for the last of our forced practice days from 800 yards which was the last days shooting for the Club calendar year. Some shooters made the most of the mild weather conditions with just a slight breeze coming over our shoulders from the North West at times and then dropping off to almost nothing in between. Others are only slowly getting back to normal after the break with mixed results for the days shooting.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 30th May 2020.
After an absence of ten weeks with no practice or competition Bathurst Rifle Club returned to shooting on Saturday 23rd May from the 600 yard firing line. With the easing of restrictions Club Members only were able to compete using two targets to accommodate two separate groups of shooters with only one shooter down at any time on each target firing point. This slowed the proceedings somewhat but we were still able to get through the practice session in reasonable time with all safety procedures adhered to.

Saturday saw shooters return to the 300 yard range for the start of the W Cutler Cup competition held over three Saturday afternoons from 300, 500 and 600 yards. A mostly overcast day helped make for a good day to be outdoors with just a light south easterly breeze fluctuating during the afternoon.
Graeme Bright used the good conditions to advantage dropping only one point at each stage to take the days honours in Target Rifle class leading Steve Williams by five points.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 22nd February 2020, 800 & 900yds. J Wilde Memorial Trophy & K Redding Trophy
With the need to shoot two rounds of competition on the one day club members had an early start Saturday morning for the second round of the J Wilde Memorial Trophy and the first round of the K Redding Trophy with the last round of each to be held at 900 yards after a break for lunch. Good cloud cover made for a pleasant day out and the sometimes steady south to south easterly breeze allowed most shooters the opportunity to score well throughout the day with the occasional swing from the south to catch those not watching the conditions.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 15th February 2020, 700yds. J Wilde Memorial Trophy.
Saturday saw the first round of the J Wilde Memorial Trophy held over 700 yards in reasonably hot weather that was occasionally relieved by passing clouds. Two electronic targets were set up for the shooters present who had to contend with a brisk westerly breeze that was to continually fluctuate in strength from approximately five to fifteen kph during the afternoon at times swinging to come from the south east briefly then slowly back again from the west.
