Grafton Rifle Club Full-Bore

Saturday April 15

A tricky breeze down the range and pleasant conditions were met by the 9 members on Saturday afternoon at the Grafton Rifle Range. Shooting commenced at 1pm from the 700-yard mound which itself can be a bit tricky leading to only one possible shot for the day with John Bloomer scoring a 60 with 3 in match 1. John shooting in F Class scoring a 119 with 10 taking the off riffle and handicap of 127.5. Peter Brown took the Off-Rifle and Handicap in Target Rifle with 97 with 10 and 99. Peter also scoring 98 with 6 in Hunter Class.

The next Full-Bore shoot will be from the 800-yard mound on Saturday April 22.
