Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 18^th March 2023 C R Kelly Cup 900 yards.

          Saturday’s competition for the second round of the C R Kelly Cup from 900 yards saw reduced numbers in the hot weather along with some members competing at the Lyndhurst Rifle Club Prize Meeting. The strong and variable north westerly breeze caused more problems than the heat with just two shooters gaining a reasonable score on the day.

          Although scores were below handicap for most shooters, John Coghill top scored Target Rifle class with Ron Gibson several points away next. James Clarke shooting in Sporter class scored well managing to achieve his best result for the 900 yards distance to date.

          Graham Willis led the way in F Class with results no one could match with a seven point lead over Phil Mahon followed closely by Jeff Eppleston and then Geoff Willis several more points away ahead of Mal Wright and Dave Butler.

          The C R Kelly Cup was won by James Clarke (198.75) with Runner up Mal Wright (192.33). Next week shooting moves back to 300 yards for the first round of the J Sibera Trophy.
