🏆The MBRC is proud to share a special recognition recently received by our Club Captain, Ben Picton.

Ben was recently presented with a Community Recognition Statement from Brendan Moylan MP, Member for Northern Tablelands, acknowledging his outstanding achievements in target r***e shooting and his contribution to both the sport and the community.

The statement recognises Ben's remarkable career, including his recent achievement as Australia's number one ranked Target R***e Shooter, his representation of Australia on the international stage, and his many accomplishments over the years. It also highlights the significant role he plays in supporting and developing fellow shooters through his involvement with our club.

Ben wanted to share this recognition with our members and followers, and to sincerely thank Brendan Moylan MP for taking the time to acknowledge his achievements.

"I am truly humbled by this recognition. It means a great deal to be acknowledged in this way, and I would like to sincerely thank Brendan Moylan for taking the time to prepare this statement. To have my contributions to the sport and community recognised is something I truly appreciate."

Those who know him best understand that he is always willing to share his knowledge, lend a hand, and encourage others to achieve their own goals in the sport.

🎉Congratulations, Ben, on this well-deserved recognition. The entire Mungindi Border R***e Club community is incredibly proud of your achievements and grateful for everything you do for our club and our sport.

With all the rain we have had this week it will mean there won’t be a club shoot this weekend.

The Mungindi Border R***e Club would like to congratulate Ben Picton on an outstanding performance today, placing 3rd overall in the ICFRA Individual Match held at Belmont Range, Brisbane.

Competing against more than 60 international competitors, Ben shot exceptionally well across four challenging 15-shot matches at 300, 600, 900 and 1000 yards, earning a well-deserved place on the podium.

A huge congratulations also goes to Jack Picton, who achieved an excellent 6th place in the Under 25 Match. Jack also produced an incredible performance at 900 yards, posting a remarkable 75.13. To shoot a score of that calibre at such a challenging distance is a true testament to Jack's skill and ability as a TR shooter.

The club is incredibly proud of what both Ben and Jack have achieved over the past 10 days of competition. You have both represented not only our club but also the town of Mungindi with great pride and sportsmanship. Your hard work and dedication have certainly paid off.

MBRC OPM 2026 — That’s a Wrap! 🌾🎯

What an incredible weekend out on the Gary Doyle R***e Range. From our members, to our competitors, to our sponsors — thank you. Truly. A small club puts in a huge effort to run an OPM every year, but the moment we see everyone rolling through the gate, setting up on the mound, and soaking in the bush air… we remember exactly why we do it.

Out here you get the sunshine, the wide‑open sky, and that classic Mirage dancing across the targets — nature’s own special effects. And yes… the fly nets were working overtime because the flies were very friendly this weekend. Some of you even scored a little extra protein over the course of the weekend too🪰😉. Bush bonus.

Last night the old clubhouse was absolutely shaking as everyone piled in to watch the NRL Grand Final. We were loud, proud, and cheering hard for the Knights. It wasn’t their night, but we backed them all the way — especially our favourite Newcastle Knights supporter, Rex Waite.♥️💙

To everyone who travelled, competed, volunteered, cooked, cleaned, scored, marked, or simply came along to be part of it — thank you so very, very much. You make this event what it is.

We can’t wait to welcome you all back again next year🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰
