The Bill Vaughan Bench Rest Precision Trophy competition was organised for 17th March 2024, and was attended by the usual suspects.

I was disappointed that more members do not feel inclined or able to join in what is meant to celebrate why we partake in the sport. If you do not have the necessary equipment, other members will willingly offer use of their own. Please show your support for the club and its goals.

Those in attendance had a very enjoyable competition. Simply a matter of ten shots, one on each roundel in five minutes. Before that, unlimited sighters.

Stuart Russell kindly scored the targets, and here are the results:
