Day one of the Warracknabeal Rifle Club prize meeting saw 28 shooters from three states shooting 500, 700, 800 and 900 yards.
Shooting 10-shot strings in slightly overcast conditions with a light breeze saw some great scores recorded and very close competition between shooters, including a perfect score of 60 and 10 super centres at 500 yards by Marty Kelly from Wangaratta Rifle Club.
Day two saw a heavy frost on the range, clearing to a magnificent day with a light fishtail breeze down the range along with 15-shot strings, trying even the best shooters' patience at 600 and 1000 yards.
The club thanked the great volunteers for their help leading up to and over the weekend, as without them, the prize shoot wouldn’t have been able to happen.

WRC mentioned a few of its sponsors, Brunt Truck Repairs, Bells Farma Products and Warracknabeal Barber Shop, as they are helping to get some much-needed jobs done on the ranges.
