Jim Blackmore shot a first stage of 50.9 breaking the club’s previous record at this distance in target rifle. Tony Galati in F Class then posted a round of 60.7 breaking the record for F Class. Galati just edged out Christina Adams who shot a second stage of 60.5 in F Open to record her first perfect score at this distance.

The afternoon saw a plethora of perfect scores shot across both disciplines, however the A-grade target rifle boys were on fire with Peter Thurtell, Steve Southwell and Jim Blackmore all posting double possible scores of 100 plus centres.

Christina Adams, Phil Costa, Tony Galati and Declan Heaney all shot perfect scores in F Class.

Next Saturday Wingham Rifle Club will host shooters from the Mid North Coast District Rifle Association (DRA) in the champion of champion individual and DRA teams events.

The champion of champion will see the best shooters from Gloucester, Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Wingham Rifle Clubs battle it out in both target rifle and F Class events.  This will then be followed by the DRA team events. Target rifle teams consist of five shooters while F Class teams shoot in pairs.

Wingham shooters are in red-hot form and we expect to see some excellent shooting across all events.
