Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 14th August 2021, Gilmour Cup 500 yards.

          Saturdays 500 yard round of the Gilmour Cup promised to be a great day for shooting with little movement in the flags from the light northerly breeze that intermittently swung slightly from the west and very occasionally slightly from the east.

          The outstanding Target Rifle shooter for the day was again Steve Williams dropping just two points for the afternoon and claiming ten centre bulls to lead John Coghill and Gordon Shepherd by five points with John finding the bull’s eye ring hard to score while claiming nine centre bulls. Graeme Bright finished another point behind the top three finding the inner four too many times during his first stage with Ron Gibson and Dennis Lavelle both a further two points down although Ron managed to score seven centre bulls for the afternoon.

          F Class shooter Jeff Eppleston made the most of the day dropping just one point during his first stage and scoring a possible for his second stage taking the day’s honours with Phil Mahon following four points away. Next a further five points away was Geoff Willis after an equipment problem cost too many points with Mal Wright tailing the field.

          It is hoped that Covid restrictions can ease soon and we can resume the shooting programme.
