🌈🎯 A Little Magic at Belmont
While we spend most of our time looking down our sights, focused on the target at the end of the range, every now and then the sport throws up a moment that genuinely surprises you.

During our training session at Belmont Range over the weekend, one of those moments appeared — literally — when an incredible rainbow arced across the range and landed right on the targets.

No pot of gold waiting for us… but we’ll happily take the V‑bulls instead. 🇦🇺💛💚
