A big turnout of seven for the Mothers Day morning session at TAS Smallbore Range. Newer shooters continue to make progress while older shooters concentrated on reducing group size off the sling. Audrey had a personal breakthrough after struggling with eye relief but we're in the groove now.

What, with adventure camps and other school activities, only three resilient and newer Club members made an appearance on Sunday morning. Never mind, they shot three details always working on sight picture and trigger release. The groups are getting smaller. Slings not far away.

Three dedicated Club members turned out on the ANZAC weekend for three details at the fabulous TAS Smallbore Range.
As novice shooters, they appreciated an unhurried morning to solve problems and practice technique. Well done Audrey, Gemma and Tori.

With Armidale Rifle Club at 300 Yards, NEGS Rifle Club took the opportunity to introduce four new members to Fullbore. No mucking about, straight onto .308". Drawing on Smallbore skills and using a sandbag rest so as not to overwhelm, all shots were on the plate, with some commendable groups and morale boosting Bulls and VBulls. Thanks again to Armidale for giving us a target to ourselves for the morning, and Aitch Bee for the crackers. Hannah and Claudia, we missed you.

The squad continues to work on sight picture and grouping, with considerable improvement allowing sight adjustment to centre on the ten ring. Won't be long before we're up to jackets and slings!

A keen squad turned out on Sunday with a "pinch and a punch", shooting two stages - concentrating on grouping and some encouraging scores assisted by the head coach squinting through the 'scope and calling adjustments. All good fun.

The first range day for the Club welcomed several new members to the sport. Per our training doctrine, the term will be spent at the TAS Smallbore Range, with perhaps a visit to Wollomombi for a familiarisation visit when next Armidale RC are at 300 yards.

Sunday's Smallbore session wrapped it up for the year. A fabulous roll-up (all other sport activities over!) enjoyed two details in balmy weather, interspersed with party chocolates and followed by the obligatory fast food "restaurant" visit. The day was even more special with a surprise visit from (now Old Girl) Captain Claudia P who enjoyed shooting with her team one last time.

Term Four has commenced and the many school activities and trips will see modest attendances until the end of the year. Nevertheless, today we welcomed new Club member Gemma at the TAS Smallbore Range to learn the basics.
Sad to say, we are also down a member as our Club Captain, Claudia, has moved to another school. A huge thanks to Claudia and her family for the support and enthusiasm, not to mention shooting prowess and leadership, over the last few years and especially at the All Schools. Hopefully a Rifle Club near the Blue Mountains will acquire a great new shooter!

The welcome fine weather at Wollo nevertheless provided interest with light changes ranging from a perfect bright overcast sight picture to full sunlight glare, while the wind danced about, keeping the coach on his toes. Four shooters gamely took on the conditions, improving their scores in the second stage as conditions evened out a little. 400 Metres is a tight target as well, so well done - 500 Yards will be kinder next week.
