🔨🛠️ NOTHING LIKE A BIT OF CLUB SPIRIT, EVEN ON AN UNOFFICIAL LONG WEEKEND! 👏

While plenty of people are enjoying the Melbourne Cup long weekend, a few of our dedicated members decided there was no time like the present to keep the improvements happening at FPTRC! ❤️🖤

Following an impromptu working bee organised late last night, Mick, Roddy, Sean and Trev rolled up their sleeves this morning to tackle the next stage of renovations to our 20m range.

💪 Today's achievements included:
🔹 Installing the roof extension.
🔹 Relocating a couple of large metal deflector plates.
🔹 Preparing the range for the next stage of works.

🎯 SO, WHAT'S COMING NEXT?

We're getting ready to commence installation of new bullet catchers and target frames, designed along the same lines as the setup we already have on our 50m range!

This is another significant step towards improving our facilities, creating greater consistency between our ranges and providing members with an even better shooting environment.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Mick, Roddy, Sean and Trev for giving up part of their long weekend and getting stuck into the work.

🙌 It's contributions like these, often organised at the last minute and without any fuss, that make a club like ours what it is.

Many hands make light work, and a little club spirit goes a long way! ❤️🖤

🎯 DID YOU KNOW? 20% OF OUR FOLLOWERS ARE FEMALE? 👏💪

At Frankston Peninsula Target R***e Club, we think that's something worth celebrating! ❤️🖤

🎯 Target shooting is one of the few sports where men and women can compete on the SAME STAGE, under the SAME RULES, for the SAME PRIZES! 🏆

Yet, despite being a sport where precision, concentration, consistency and mental strength matter far more than brute force, target shooting is still sometimes perceived as a male-dominated sport.

But here's the thing… the target doesn't care who's pulling the trigger! 😉

👩‍🦰👨‍🦰 Whether you're male or female, young or old, success comes down to your ability to control your breathing, manage your nerves, read the conditions and deliver that perfect shot.

💥 And yes, women can — and regularly do — outperform their male counterparts!

Unlike many sports where physical strength, speed or power can provide a competitive advantage, precision target shooting puts everyone on a stage where skill, discipline and consistency can make all the difference.

🎯 It's not about who's the biggest or strongest. It's about who's the most accurate!

From 20m and 50m Benchrest and Prone to 10m Air R***e, our sport offers opportunities to challenge yourself, compete alongside others and discover just how rewarding precision shooting can be.

🙌 To the 20% of our followers who are female — THANK YOU for being part of our community!

And to the other 80% — let's keep spreading the word that this is a sport for everyone! ❤️

👀 Ladies, have you ever considered giving competitive target shooting a go if not already doing it?

You might be surprised by just how much you enjoy it… and how well you can shoot! 😉

📣 Let's challenge the stereotypes, encourage more women to get involved and keep proving that when it comes to precision, ABILITY HAS NO GENDER! 🎯

🦅 Recognising a Valued Member – Peter McCashney 👏

As we wrap up our final TRV Prize Meeting for the year, we take this opportunity to recognise and thank Peter McCashney, who joined FPTRC in December 2012 and has been a valued member for almost 14 years.

Peter has proudly represented our club in numerous Pennant Teams across 20m and 50m Benchrest and Supported Air R***e, helping secure several Pennant flags along the way. He has also been a regular competitor at Prize Meetings throughout Victoria and supported other clubs through postal competitions.

But Peter’s contribution extended well beyond the firing line. He was a regular at working bees and a valued member of our much-loved “Merry Men”, helping maintain our facilities week after week. Always generous with his time and knowledge, Peter was happy to lend a hand and share his experience with fellow members.

A keen big-bore shooter at Lang Lang as well, Peter has now sold all of his shooting equipment to other members as he prepares for his next chapter.

🏆 And what a way to finish!

As we mentioned over the weekend, Peter was competing in what was expected to be his final competition before retiring from shooting. To top it all off, he claimed outright victory in the Albury “100” Benchrest competition, finishing just two points ahead of fellow FPTRC member Dean Romanoff!

Peter, you certainly couldn't have scripted a better farewell to competitive shooting. What a fantastic achievement and a fitting way to cap off your years on the range! 👏🎯

On behalf of everyone at FPTRC, thank you, Peter, for your dedication, friendship and contribution to our club over the years. Your efforts have been greatly appreciated, and you will always be welcome back at the range.

We wish you all the very best in your well-earned “retirement” and hope you enjoy plenty of golf, your new passion for lawn bowls, and some wonderful holidays with your wife, Leslie, and family.

Thanks for everything, Peter! 🍻👏

🎯 ALBURY “100” PRIZE MEETING – WHAT A WAY TO FINISH! 🎯

Yesterday, we mentioned that Peter McCashney was competing in what was expected to be his final competition before “retiring” from shooting, having already sold his equipment.

Well, what a way to finish! 🏆

Congratulations to Peter, who has taken out the Albury “100” Benchrest competition outright, finishing just two points ahead of fellow FPTRC member Dean Romanoff, who secured an outstanding 2nd place!

If you were looking for a fairytale finish to a shooting career, it doesn't get much better than that. Peter, you couldn't have scripted it any better! 👏🎯

🥇 A HUGE WELL DONE TO ALL OUR FPTRC MEMBERS!

To everyone who made the journey to Albury and competed across the various disciplines over the weekend, congratulations on your efforts.

You have not only done yourselves proud but have represented Frankston Peninsula Target R***e Club exceptionally well, flying the Frankston flag with some fantastic results along the way.

It is always pleasing to see our members travelling throughout Victoria during the year to support other clubs, compete against fellow shooters and contribute to the wider target shooting community. These weekends are about more than just results; they are also about camaraderie, sportsmanship and maintaining the strong connections between clubs.

👏 A BIG THANK YOU TO ALBURY SMALL BORE R***E CLUB!

Once again, thank you to everyone at Albury Small Bore R***e Club for hosting another fantastic competition weekend that was thoroughly enjoyed by those who attended.

The effort required to organise and run a prize meeting of this size should never be underestimated. With just five 50m shooting bays, delivering an event of this scale is no mean feat, yet it remains a popular fixture on the annual shooting calendar.

That is a true testament to the dedication, organisation and hard work of your members, both behind the scenes and on the range.

From all of us at FPTRC, thank you for your hospitality and for continuing to put on such a great event. We look forward to returning again!

And finally, Peter, congratulations once again on an outstanding result and a memorable way to bring your shooting career to a close. Whether retirement lasts forever or you eventually get the itch to return, you've certainly left on a high! 😄🏆

🎯 ALBURY “100” PRIZE MEETING – MORE RESULTS! 🎯

The accolades keep coming for Frankston Peninsula Target R***e Club, with more fantastic results rolling in from the Albury “100” Prize Meeting!

🏆 50m Benchrest

Another outstanding performance from Dean Romanoff, who took out today’s Benchrest competition despite some challenging conditions! 👏

His wife, Julie Romanoff, also put in a respectable performance, finishing in 5th place.

A special mention goes to Lachlan Schafer, who claimed the C Grade win, narrowly edging out Tony O’Donoghue. This gives Lachlan another great result after Tony secured the C Grade silver medal yesterday.

To top it all off, Lachlan also took out Sub-Junior today! 🥇 A fantastic effort and a great result for one of our younger competitors.

🎯 50m Prone

In today’s Prone competition, Ken Hart finished in 5th place, with Sean Finn taking 7th.

Sean also added another achievement to his weekend, securing B Grade silver from yesterday’s competition. 🥈

👏 Congratulations to all our members!

🎯 ALBURY “100” PRIZE MEETING – SUPPORTED AIR R***E RESULTS 🎯

The results are in for the 10m Supported Air R***e competition at this weekend’s Albury “100” Prize Meeting, and there’s more great news for Frankston Peninsula Target R***e Club!

🏆 Congratulations to Dean Romanoff, who took out the Supported Air R***e competition with an outstanding performance!

🥈 Henry Lieng also delivered a fantastic result, finishing in 2nd place, while Bree Neve rounded out a strong showing for FPTRC with an impressive 4th-place finish.

🎯 ALBURY “100” PRIZE MEETING – AIR R***E UPDATE 🎯

Some more results are coming through from the Albury “100” Prize Meeting, with the 10m Air R***e Standing competition now completed!

While entry numbers were a little on the lighter side, it was great to see some familiar faces taking to the Air R***e range.

One notable highlight was the return of Sean Finn to the Air Shed, making his first appearance back on the air r***e range in almost 12 months! It’s always good to see members getting back into the action, even if it takes a little while to find their feet again. 😄

Congratulations to everyone who competed, and stay tuned as we bring you more results from our FPTRC members throughout the weekend as there are still a couple of Supported Air competitors to complete their match!

🎯 A GREAT INITIATIVE FROM ALBURY SMALL BORE R***E CLUB! 🎯

A fantastic initiative from Albury Small Bore R***e Club at this weekend’s “100” Prize Meeting, giving competitors an extra incentive to chase those perfect shots!

Shooters who achieved a 10.9 in 50m Prone or 10m Air R***e (Standing or Supported), or two 10.9s in 50m Benchrest, earned themselves a special-edition badge or stubby holder. 👏

It’s a great way to recognise those exceptional moments on the range and give competitors a little something extra to take home as a memento of their achievement.

🏅 Congratulations to our FPTRC members Bree Neve, Peter McCashney, Ken Hart and Dean Romanoff, who were fortunate enough to earn themselves one of these special awards!

Well done to all four members, and a big thank you to Albury Small Bore R***e Club for introducing such a fun and memorable initiative. It’s these little touches that help make prize meetings even more enjoyable for everyone involved.

🏆 50m Benchrest

A huge congratulations to club member Peter McCashney, who has taken out today’s 50m Benchrest competition!

This result makes the occasion even more special, with Peter currently competing in what is expected to be his final competition before retiring from shooting. Having already sold his equipment, Peter is enjoying his swan song tour, and what a way to make the most of it by claiming a competition win during his penultimate outing! 👏

Congratulations also to fellow FPTRC members Henry Lieng, finishing 2nd outright, and Ken Hart, taking 3rd place.

Further congratulations go to:
🥈 Tony O’Donoghue – 2nd in C Grade

And Peter, what a result to add to your shooting memories! We hope you enjoy every last shot of your farewell tour. 🎯
