Saturday 14 March, was a big day for North Arm Rifle Club, with a Come and Try first up in the morning, and then 300 metres in the afternoon.
CATS started with 10 participants for the morning, with a lot of family taking part. The rain held off, for the morning with just a light shower during the mornings shoot. All of our Come and Try participants, get to shoot, 5 shots from a choice of 4 different firearms. We have a traditional target rifle (.308), a FStd Target Rifle (.308) , a F Std Sako target rifle (.223) or a Howa Sporter Rifle in .223.
Everyone enjoyed themselves with some great shoots from some of the participants. The challenge for the morning, was testing and deciding your dominant eye, which was a challenge for a number of the particptants. 🤣🤣
There were 24 shooters for the afternoon 300m shoot. The rain held off, but the wind decided to make it a challenging afternoon.
Though Dave B in FO overcame all the conditions, with a great 126.9 for the afternoon. There were also some great single possibles, with Denis M (FO) started with a 60.06, Rob G (FTR) 66.05 in the second stage, Mark R (SPO) 50.09 in stage 1 and Adrian L (SPO) 55.09 in the second stage.
