Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 1^st January 2022 L Williams Cup 300 yards.

          Saturday’s warm clear day brought many shooters out for the start of the year and the first stage of the L Williams Cup at 300 yards. The light breeze with mirage showing early in the afternoon was difficult enough to result in most shooters losing at least one or two points each stage, some of the F Class shooters may have enjoyed better sighting later when the mirage eased.

          Steve Williams started the day reasonably well in his first stage which kept him in the top spot followed by Gordon Shepherd who picked up points later on to finish three points behind. John Coghill never quite settled his shots near the middle although his second stage was an improvement with Dennis Lavelle a point away with similar results.

          The strong F Class field on the day was led by Jeff Eppleston with a great second stage score which included six super centres that gave him a one super centre advantage over Geoff Willis and Col Howell. Mal Wright scored consistently finishing four points away next up and one point ahead of Nick Webster who tightened his group up greatly during his second stage. Ben Wright and Phil Mahon went head to head with their scoring on the afternoon finishing another seven points down with Ben saving the best for a practice stage later on where he managed to keep them all in the centre.

          Next week will be the second round of the L Williams Cup at 500 yards.
