Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 28^th October 2023, 800 yards Series 2 Match 5

          Saturday’s competition from 800 yards turned out to be a very difficult day for most shooters as the unpredictable north westerly breeze occasionally swung to north easterly with changing mirage conditions that affected at least one stage for each shooter. Those that were lucky enough may have enjoyed a few minutes of steady wind or a lack of it.

          Steve Williams completed both stages without a point lost while gaining ten centre bulls to top the Target Rifle shooters followed by Graeme Bright who shot well in his first stage but couldn’t keep the pressure up during his second stage. Dennis Lavelle could have done much better if not for a shot that failed to register on the correct target during his first stage with John Coghill and Gordon Shepherd just not consistent enough in hitting the bull’s eye.

          Jeff Eppleston blitzed the field in F Standard class after starting with a great possible score for his first stage followed by Graham Willis who left his run too late to catch. Phil Mahon finished a couple points further away ahead of Dave Butler and Col Howell who both had no luck in the variable conditions. Geoff Willis managed to stay ahead in the F Open shooter group with Mal Wright and Ben Wright next separated by only two super centres.

          Next Saturday 4^th November we move back to 900 yards for.
