Many thanks to everyone who helped with our range cleaning duties yesterday. With so many people, the task was accomplished quickly with a very noticeable difference afterwards. We are rostered for cleaning duties again in September.
New 10-shot PBs were recorded this week by Inge Little, Josh Whitehead and Mike Williams – congratulations!
Round 2 of the interclub competition resulted in two very close matches for our teams. In the C Grade match, the team were successful against Wellington Central by a point, while our B Grade team suffered a one-point loss to Melrose. Anna Hooper was top Brooklyn shooter in both teams with 94.3 and 97.4 respectively, an inner ahead of Casey Israelson 94.2 and Mark Riley 97.3.
