Narrabri Clay Target Club holds a well-attended March monthly shoot

The Narrabri Clay Target Club’s March shoot on Sunday, March 15, was a well-attended one despite all the other shooting activity available on that weekend.

The club welcomed travellers from Guyra, Tamworth, Moree and Inverell who made the effort to visit and we hope that they returned to their clubs to encourage other team members to make the trip in the future.

There were also three new shooters who took to the traps to try their hand at clay shooting and by all accounts enjoyed their time.

Conditions were clear and sunny with warm to very warm temperatures, and a consistent, moderate south-easterly with strong gusts blew for most of the day.

Event one – 100-Target Medley (50-Target Double Barrel and 50-Target Points Score/Continental):
