A good turnout last weekend with 9 members in attendance.

Dick again shot a Personal Best (5th in a row) which will see his handicap reduced by a further 30 odd points while Kim also returned a Personal Best and will see her handicap reduced by approx. 35 points.

Michelle shot a half Air Match as Practice and was well on course to record a Personal Best by at least 20 points but withdrew from the match to undertake some painting in the Club House in preparation for the Open next month

Matches of the day this Saturday will be Centre Fire/Sports Pistol commencing at 1pm

The first event for 2020 was contested this afternoon but in view of the extreme heat, it was decided to shoot an Air Pistol Match with the revamped Air Range proving to be the coolest place in the complex.

It would have been nothing short of miserable contesting the advertised Standard Pistol Match of the day.

Even in the Air Range, it became quite uncomfortable by the end of the match with the well above normal Temperatures we are enduring at present but still much cooler than in the Club House. The purchase of a couple of fans for the Air Range now looks highly likely.

I would hate to think what the temperature in the Range would have been if we had not spent the extra money to insulate the entire roof and all three walls at the firing line when we undertook the Range refurbishment last year.

Wayne acted as Range Officer with Michelle, Dick and Trevor contesting their Air Pistol Match and Bruce fired a half match of Air Pistol Practice. Both Dick and Michelle recorded new Personal Best Scores in their matches.

During the match, we also had a visit from a newly arrived resident of Glen Innes who appears keen to take up the sport of Pistol Shooting and join the club.

Next weekend, 25 m Black Powder and Rapid Fire are the scheduled matches of the day commencing at 1 pm
