Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 11^th 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.

          F Standard shooter Col Howell top scored the class with a loss of three points followed by Dave Butler who has turned his scores around of the last few weeks with consistently improved results with Phil Mahon tailing the field. Geoff Willis top scored F Open class with a loss of one point during each stage with Mal Wright again scoring well to finish a couple of points away with Jeff Eppleston next trying out his short range benchrest rifle with less luck.

          Next Saturday we move back to 500 yards for Match 5 of the Series.
