Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 27th April 2024, 7/800 yards, Series 4 Match 1/2.
The final Series 4 Matches commenced with Match 1 from 700 yards on the 20th April and then Match 2 from 800 yards held last Saturday the 27th April.
The 700 yards Match 1 event saw Graeme Bright lead the Target Rifle shooters with Dennis Lavelle shooting Sporter Class. Col Howell topped the F Class Standard field while Garry Cafe blitzed the F Open group with his new rifle.
The 800 yards Match 2 event saw the flags mostly hanging to the side of the poles with only an occasional breeze from the west to lift them a little more than the mostly slight movement from either side that was perhaps observed better with the mirage seen through a telescope.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 16th March 2024, 600 yards, Series 3 Match 9.
Saturdays overcast day provided some very easy weather to be outdoors for our second 600 yards shoot in Series 3 of the season. Light winds from the east early during the early afternoon soon changed to a light westerly with the flags often hanging down the pole which became more frequent later in the afternoon. The conditions allowed the majority of shooters to score close to or above their range handicap with two shooters gaining double possibles for the day.

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 9th March 2024, 500 yards, Series 3 Match 8.
Saturday saw club members enjoy the use of the club awnings again due to high temperatures for Series 3 Match 8 from 500 yards. The easterly breeze brought out the tree line flag but the breeze was never consistent or convincing and often paused for a minute or two before deciding where to go next giving some shooters a break or others the run around resulting in about one third of the field shooting to and above handicap with one shooter gaining a double possible and five others single stage possible scores on the day.
Steve Williams top scored the Target Rifle shooters with three centre bulls over Graeme Bright with Gordon Shepherd finishing the day strongly in next spot ahead of John Coghill who is trying the club rifle out for a few weeks. Sporter Class shooter James Clarke again scored a great double possible with Dennis Lavelle shooting steadily to finish a few points away next.
