Walsh salutes at rifle club shoot
RESULTS
WAYNE Walsh came out on top last Saturday at the Mossman and District Rifle Club weekly shoot from the 700m mound.
Carl Read had a good result with his new scoped Tikka T3 .223 rifle in his second round. Saturday went well in the Full Bore F Class and Target Rifle .308 & .223 inch categories on the day.
The regular shooters, Neil Attwood & Rick Mischlewski were competitive but Rick eventually inched ahead in Target Rifle. I joined in as a guest shooter giving Target Rifle another crack with the Club Mauser .308.
It was breezy at the mound but relatively still at the butt. Saturday was a warm, sunny but not too uncomfortable day at Mossman Range with slight mirage despite the distance.
Wayne faired very well with his shoot dropping only one. For me, even as a new shooter it was not a good day and I just couldn't get comfortable with an expensive total miss in the first round of 10.
Absent was Norbet Schmidt on the day, which is quite unusual for him.
