Another fine Saturday afternoon meant good shooting conditions for 16 rifle shooters, including five visitors, when competition was held over 500 yards at the Narromine-Dubbo rifle range.
Once again F-class shooters dominated with only Locky Simpson and Rob Rainbow competing in target rifle.
From the start the first two shooters, Daniel Galea and Scott Monaghan, posted identical scores of 57/60 apiece, while Dave Goodridge, shooting from the benchrest, fired a 59/60 to hold the lead in F-class.
Gayle Hyland used Daniel Galea's rifle to good effect and scored her best first stage hit yet of 55/60 and Cass McKinnon was showing the boys how to shoot, again, starting with a 48/60.
In the second stage, Scott Monaghan upped the pace and fired a perfect 60/60 against another 59/60 from Dave Goodridge who went on to win the F-class badge on a total of 118/120.
Rob Rainbow won the B-grade badge with an off-rifle score of 93/100, while Locky Simpson had a better second stage hit of 45/50 to win the C-grade badge.
