On Saturday the shoot was from 1000 yards at Lockhart.

Visitors Ross Moyle, Mark and Gayle Sewell and their son discovered the challenges of 1000Y at Lockhart.

On Sunday was the Ungarie prize meting.
Due to the flooding and a lot of water on the range the shoot which was planned to be 800, 900 and 1000 yards was limited to three stages of 900 yards.
David, Neville and Scott attended.
Neville won F Standard B Grade and David won the last range in TR.
Next weekend will be 30 yards.
We have a few weeks to go before our prize meeting.
So if members can spare time to come out early and get some jobs done that will be appreciated
The ANZAC Rifle Range is located on the Malabar Headland, south of Sydney.
It is headquarters to the New South Wales Rifle Association, and hosts the annual NSW Queen's Prize shooting competitions.
It is is the largest rifle range in the southern hemisphere.
Recreational shooting began on the rifle range site in the 1850s. From 1939 to 1945 various military installations (circa 43 in number) were built on the site, notably the Boora Point Battery.
