A really enjoyable Compak target day was had by all. Craig Matthews out scored everyone with some great shooting. The team did a great job on setting the targets with a lot of variation and the usual so called easy targets which a lot managed to miss. The wind that had come up affected targets on 2 stations but that helped to seperate some of the shooters. the Clubs next shoot on 21st April is 100 target SPORTING. A lot of fun, this incorporates our Club Champs and also our yearly Duckshooters day. A day for everyone, experienced or not
