The Burdekin Clay Target Club held its monthly shoot on Saturday, 10th May, attracting 34 enthusiastic shooters to the range. It was a pleasant day for competition, with ideal weather and a great turnout across all grades. A sincere thank you goes to the valued sponsors for the day — Raine & Horne and Dal Ponte Electrical — for their ongoing support of local sport.
The shoot featured four competitive events: Double Barrel, Pointscore, Single Barrel, and the crowd-favourite Handicap, testing shooters’ skills across a variety of formats. A strong showing from all grades was highlighted by multiple perfect scores and close finishes. Congratulations to all the winners and participants for their performances, including standout shooters Tony Caruso, Glen Rea, Joe Scalia, Rob Ness, and Pedro Le Blowitz, who each claimed wins in their respective grades.
The next shoot is set for Saturday, 7th June, and will feature the 100 Target Double Barrel Handicap, commencing at 12:00pm. This exciting event will continue into the evening under lights for a special night shoot. A regular monthly shoot will follow on Sunday. All members and new participants are encouraged to attend.
