Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 25th. January 2020, 500yds. Gilmour Cup.
Saturday’s second round of the Gilmour Cup competition from 500 yards started with a brief delay due to rain then saw light but inconsistent and switching winds during most of the afternoon to again hamper shooters chances of an exceptional score although there were some short periods of lull that may have been capitalised on before the last few to shoot were treated to strong winds as the clouds rolled back in.
Of the Target Rifle shooters Ron Gibson had a consistent day dropping three points in each stage to be six points down for the day and take the honours over Dennis Lavelle who started off with a high group and low score for his first stage but managed to keep all but one in the middle for his second stage to finish one point behind.
Col Howell continued his dominance of the shorter ranges starting off strongly but losing points in his second stage to finish six points down and two points ahead of Phil Mahon and Graham Willis who could not match that first stage score later in the day. New shooter Aaron Druitt did well with the clubs small calibre rifle to finish next another five points off the lead and two points ahead of Ben Wright who struggled to keep his shots in the six ring later in the afternoon. Sporting rifle shooter Oscar Berryman came along to try his hunting rifle out at the target and managed to keep a high number of shots inside the bull’s eye ring.
Next shoot will be on Saturday 8th February at 600 yards for the final round of the Gilmour Cup.
