Straight and True

Shooting straight and true, despite the change to blustery conditions on the second day, competitors at the Sponge Bay Range put up some excellent scores on March 2 and 3. The occasions were the Gisborne Rifle Club's Open Championships on the first day and the East Coast Championships on the second day.
