A huge shout out to Pete and Mick for sticking their collective hands up to have a go at running the DTL comp last week. While the weather was less than tropical, a few brave souls fronted and had a crack. It does buoy the spirts to see guys stepping up and having a go! Thanks guys.

While I was away, I went and had a look at Mackay & Sarina Clay Target Club who also shoot on the 2nd Sunday. Had a great chat with a few of the guys and they were very welcoming. I did "threaten" that I will be back.

This Sundays S***t comp is set to be a cracker with some beautiful winters weather forcasted. Cold start and warm days... perfect shooting days...

Gday shooters

Today, Bathurst held its monthly 100 target competition and well its safe to say, it was a cold one ! While most people stayed at home infront of the heater rugged up, a small brave group decided to give compak a go! And with how the weather panned out, shooters didnt want to muck around for to long, so a day of sportrap was on the cards.

A few targets were set to get shooters thinking and planning for a few challenging pairs , but overall it was an enjoyable day ! Congratulations to Max Warran for taking out High Gun with a 80/100, the bloke could've shot better but was to busy looking at the goosebumps on his legs! guess thats what happens when you decide to wear shorts on a cold windy day!

Thankyou to the Bathurst boys for a great set up! They have a plan to set up a great 2 layout comp in August to lead up to the Central Zone selection shoot. So spread the word , get ready , and we will see you all next club compak shoot early august !
