It was very pleasing to be able to welcome 16 shooters to the Club on Saturday 1 March for the monthly competition. Considering the extremely hot conditions, those present enjoyed the friendly afternoon.

The day commenced with the Annual General Meeting of the Club and saw the return of the executive for another year. President is Mick Crowe, Treasurer Ewen Dun and Secretary, Jenny Mould. Once again, the Club reported on a very stable 2024 of competition and are looking forward to a similar 2025.

The program of events featured the Central Zone Mixed Targets Championship. This consists of 10 double barrel targets, 10 single barrel, 10 pointscore and 5 pair of double rise and can be quite the challenge. Local shooter, Tony O’Leary took out the event with an outstanding score of 59/60. Congratulations Tony on a fine display of clay target marksmanship also taking out the High Gun for the day with a score of 121/125.

Other local competitors to do well included Malcolm Drury, Mick Crowe, Michael O’Leary, Stephen Gittoes and Col O’Leary.

Our next competition on Saturday 5 April will feature the Commonwealth 50 target Pointscore Continental Championship as well as the Central Tablelands Double Barrel Championship and we hope to see quite a few here to vie for these prestigious titles.
