A fast-changing breeze had shots hitting everywhere except the centre for some of the early shooters so it wasn't until later in the day that scores improved.

At the end of the first stage visiting shooter Tony McGuigan led the target rifle scores with a 48/50 and F-class was led by Alan Taylor on 56/60.

The second stage was fired under similar conditions and this time Norm Brown hit a 49/50 to win the A-grade badge with an off-rifle score of 94/100.

Alan Taylor scored a 55/60 to win the F-class badge and the weekly handicap trophy with a total 111/120. The white spot survived to jack-pot for the 300 metres shoot next Saturday.

Individual scores were:

Dave Forster 46/47, F-class total 93/120; Norm Brown 45/49, off-rifle 94, handicap 2, total 96/100;

On Sunday, 10 shooters competed in the 1000 yard benchrest shoot under ideal conditions.

All shooters recorded scores and groups and the two winners, Ben and Nathan, shared a rifle to win the smallest group and top score in both competitions.

Next Saturday shooting is back to 300 metres starting at 12.30pm.
