SUNDAY 13 October, we held the Kruger Shield at Southern Downs Rifle Club Range. This event was well supported with over 60 shooters attending from Brisbane, Gold Coast and the Darling Downs. The windy conditions made for a difficult day and had all those attending the shoot continually re-assessing their aiming mark.

The scores for F Standard were MDRA 806.23, second DDRA1 755.21 and third DDRA2 743.19. The only F Open Team was MDRA with a score of 304. Top Target Rifle was George Edser with a score of 149.2, Top F Standard Score went to Ernie Mace 169.6 and Top F Open Score was George Constantinou with a score of 154.4.
