The action on Sunday was fast and furious as club members organised themselves to compete in the pistol competition , described above, and also take part in the Sporting "gallery" rifle competition. The course of fire consisted of 26 shots, 10 at 10 metres, 10 at 15 metres and 6 at 25 metres. Some were precision and some were against the clock . As in all Gallery events, the shooting position was standing, unsupported with the ready position at an angle of 45 degrees. At the signal, each shooter raised his rifle to the shooting position, acquired the sight picture and fired the designated number of shots in the given time before the signal to cease fire. Any one who has tried it will know that the standing position is the most challenging as regards accuracy. This becomes even more challenging when the time to fire the string of shots is limited. However, the nerves held and the results show some very good scores! Thank you to all who took part, and to those who did not, as you now know how exciting these competitions can be, do not miss the next competition in March.
