Conditions challenging at club’s field rifle event

Hedland Sporting Shooters Club held its ninth field rifle event for 2018 last Sunday, which includes rimfire and centrefire disciplines.

Again, the weather started out calm before gusting to more than 30km/h later in the morning, making it challenging for competitors to stand steady and shoot good scores.

For the rimfire event, Chris Lefroy continued his dominance and shot a score of 334.1 to take out first place.

Philip Murray took out second place with a score of 297 and hot on his heels was Jason Reed with a score of 294.3.

In centrefire, Lefroy dominated again to make it a double for the day and scored 326.2 in taking out first place.

Reed came second with a score of 302.2 and Murray was third with a score of 275.

Hedland Sporting Shooters Club shoots varying disciplines every Sunday morning starting at 9am.

New members and spectators are more than welcome.
