Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 4^th March 2023 C R Kelly Cup 700 yards.

          Saturdays overcast weather helped keep temperatures under control for the first round of the C R Kelly Cup from 700 yards but the conditions seen earlier turned to be very difficult at times with wind gusts coming from every direction during the afternoon then rain setting in just as shooting finished for the day.

          Graeme Bright again led the Target Rifle shooters on the day and after a rough first stage went clean in his second until losing a point on his last shot with Ron Gibson following next one point ahead of John Coghill. James Clarke had a reasonable first stage score shooting in Sporter Class but found the conditions later more difficult.

          F Class shooter Col Howell got straight to the task dropping just one point during his first stage but Geoff Willis came back with a strong second stage score to claim top spot for the day with Nick Webster a couple more points away one point ahead of Mal Wright. Ben Wright was testing his new ammunition on the day with little success.

          The next round of the C R Kelly Cup will be held on the 18^th March at 900 yards.
