Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 11^th December 2021, K Redding 700 yards Trophy.

          A return to the shooting program after several weeks off saw a good roll up of shooters for the K Redding 700 yards Trophy event held on the 11^th December. The moderate west to north westerly breeze continued to swing while increasing strength and dropping off again during the afternoon, varying from about 6 to 18 kph with a heavy mirage early in the afternoon to make for a challenging days competition.

          Target Rifle shooter Steve Williams was the standout leading the field for the day losing only two points while scoring nine centre bulls, Graeme Bright followed next but with a couple of wayward shots during his first stage cost too many points. Charlie Bennett showed all what he is capable of with a personal best stage score and we all look forward to when he strings two good stages together for the day, John Coghill finished next followed by Dennis Lavelle.

          Jeff Eppleston top scored in F Class on the day with consistent shooting to finish one point ahead of Geoff Willis with Graham Willis two points away next with a three point lead over Nick Webster followed closely by Col Howell who both lost points early on the day. Phil Mahon tailed the field with too much vertical to his grouping of shots on the target.

          The winner of the K Redding Trophy is Geoff Willis (100) with runner up Nick Webster (100).
