SHOOTING
Southern Downs Rifle
RESULTS from 16 November, shot at 500 yards. F standard rifle, possible 126: Graham Eagle 116.3, Margaret Taylor 115.2, David Taylor 114.2, Neil Sexton 110.1. Target rifle, possible 105: Rob Bondfield 104.6, Rob McMaster 103.9, Jim Dickenson 99.5, Glenn Picton 92.4, Shane Kao 91.4. A hot overcast day with strong shifting winds that increased in strength as the day wore on. The temperature failed to reach the predicted high. Several of our members made a special early start with the poor excuse they wanted to beat the heat. The rest of us suspect that the real reason was, they wanted to get ahead by finishing before the wind built up. A special welcome to the Darling Downs Club visitors who attended and planned the prize shoot for 30 November. www.southerndownsrifleclubwebsyte.com.au
