24/05/2026

Last weekend Stawell hosted its annual prize meeting. The weather was a concern coming into the event but we managed to still get an amazing 44 shooters rock up and support all that we love doing . With patches of showers on and off on the Saturday we were lucky to get through all the shooters without any dramas and Sunday was wonderful once the fog cleared and we were able to see the targets again 🫣
Thank you to everyone that helped make it all come together and run smoothly and thank you to all the shooters who came to support our wonderful club. Hope to see you all next time 🙂.
