Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 8th January 2022 L Williams Cup 500 yards.

          Another warm and mostly clear day saw a big roll up of shooters for the second round of the L Williams Cup on Saturday at 500 yards. A light to moderate north to north westerly breeze at times gave some relief to the heat while providing a level of difficulty for the shooters more often than not during the afternoon.

          Steve Williams again top scored the Target Rifle shooters dropping just one point during his first stage of the day with Graeme Bright starting with a strong first stage possible but unable to back it up losing two points during his second stage to place one point behind. Gordon Shepherd scored consistently to finish two points further away with visiting shooter Darren Crimston next ahead of Charlie Bennett who put in a couple of good stage results for the day as he continues to improve his skills with John Coghill a point further down for the day.

          In F Class Geoff Willis had a slow start losing three points early on but managed a strong finish for the day to lead the pack by one point over Col Howell and Ben Wright with Col claiming the best stage score and super centre count. Nick Webster followed closely two points after an unfortunate drop in wind strength cost him two points in his first stage followed by Graham Willis and Jeff Eppleston separated by one super centre. Phil Mahon was next losing points early to wind strength drops as Mal Wright and visiting shooter Luke Harris finished equal both having lost points early but improved later. Visiting shooter James Clarke also tried out his new rifle and seemed keen to try the longer range distances coming up soon.

          Next week will be the third round of the L Williams Cup at 600 yards.
