Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 12^th March 2022 C R Kelly Cup 800 yards.

          Saturday saw the second round of competition for the C R Kelly Cup from 800 yards and with a few Target Rifle shooters not in attendance the F Class shooters were in a majority again on a day which turned out to possibly be the nicest shooting conditions of the year so far with a very slight breeze fluttering from side to side occasionally as it came from the south east to the south west and on several occasions stopped to show a slightly boiling mirage for just long enough.

          In Target Rifle Class Gordon Shepherd led the way with his first stage score which set him up to take the days honours over John Coghill who finished with the best individual second stage score ahead of Ron Gibson who accumulated the greatest number of centre bulls for the day.

          Most F Class shooters managed reasonable scores for the day led by Jeff Eppleston and Graham Willis tied with two points lead over the rest, Jeff taking the honours on countback. Next up came Phil Mahon and Mal Wright with Phil leading by one super centre ahead of Auskir Berryman who couldn’t keep the pace during his second stage. Geoff Willis and Col Howell ended the field after both scored below average for their first stage scores.

          Next week will be a practise day at 800 yards with the NSW FTR Team also attending for a training day in preparation for next month’s National Teams Championships at Bendigo.
