Bleak, cold, windy on range

Sunday’s unpleasant conditions contributed to a small turnout for the Southern Downs Rifle Clubs weekly shoot at Risdon Range last Sunday.

Those who bravely chose to ignore the rain and bleak forecast coped with the

gusty conditions well and were rewarded with some good scores.

In the open class Neil Sexton shot well to claim a win by the narrowest of margins . He defeated Richard McKillop by one “X” point.

Geoff Vollmerhause is a shooter on the improve and finished with a good total in the standard class.

Results : -600 yards

F Open

Neil Sexton (122.10); Richard McKillop (122.9); Rodger Hahnemann (121.7); Kate Sexton (119.6).

Geoff Vollmerhause (117.4)
