One of our amazing members, Frank, is celebrating a pretty special birthday today. Frank has committed heavily to our club for well over a decade, a past president, long term committee member, always doing jobs around the club and an excellent ambassador of our sport. Happiest of birthdays Frank, we bloody love mate! You've probably earned yourself a nap or two.

What a week for Jack in Wagga. Claimed 1st AA grade in the 410 after shooting off for overall, took out the overall for the 12 gauge with a perfect score (100/100), and secured the junior high gun (332/350). Jack has now accrued 40 hall of fame points.

Results like these just don't happen easily, a lot of hard work, commitment and support is required. Congratulations to Jack and the amazing support crew behind him. Well done all!
