A satisfying attendance yesterday following months of inactivity on the Live Fire ranges due to the COVID lockdown and restrictions and all the construction work in the Club House and on the two 25 metre ranges over the past 5 or 6 months.
7 members contested matches of Air Pistol and Centre Fire/Sport Pistol with another member performing the Range Officer duties.
Centre Fire/Sport Pistol was shot in the novel way of using static targets and a whistle for timing which had its challenges in the rapid fire stage but was otherwise enjoyed by all who participated. 
Scores from yesterday have been added to the Match Results page on this site.
Match of the day next Saturday will be Standard Pistol (also fired with a whistle for timing) commencing at 1 pm but this will in no way as challenging as the match yesterday.

The first competition matches for over two months were contested at the Club today with one air Pistol Match and three Standard matches fired.
The Standard Matches were contested on Static Targets on Range 3 using a stop watch and whistle for timing but greatly enjoyed by the three members in attendance.
Scores have been added to the Match results 2022 page.

Matches to be contested next Saturday will be Centre Fire/Sports Pistol and Air Pistol.

NEW BUILDING

The new concrete Range floor was poured last Thursday and the new path was poured on Friday.
It is anticipated that construction of the remainder of the steel frame will occur this week with cladding installed shortly thereafter and the Electrician completing his work in 2 to 3 weeks in readiness for members to commence the fit out with new seating, bay dividers and firing lines, reinstalling the timing electronics and the eyebrow baffles and completing the Council requested extra drainage.
Planning for this project commenced in March 2020 with obtaining quotes and submitting a Grant request, gaining approval for the Grant, going through the lengthy process of preparing Engineered Plans, approval by Crown Lands and Council and then the construction process which was delayed severely through constant wet weather and delays in being able to source materials.
In the end, it will be all well worthwhile with a Range Facility as good as any in Rural NSW.
Hopefully, we will be fully operation again by the end of March, 2022
