The Burdekin Clay Target Club hosted its monthly shoot on Saturday and Sunday. The weekend kicked off with a nostalgic twist, featuring the rarely-used Side by Side shotguns. Sixteen shooters competed in these old-school events, bringing a touch of tradition to the range. Later in the day, the action shifted to the Night Shoot, where 23 shooters took on the unique challenge of hitting targets in low light. Despite the difficulty, the shooters showed impressive accuracy.
Sunday’s weather was far less cooperative, starting overcast and quickly turning into a downpour during the final two events. Nevertheless, the competition continued, and the shooters remained unfazed by the conditions. A special thanks goes out to the Club’s sponsors: Wayne Cislowski, Sitefix Solutions, and Butches on Queen, for their generous support. Mark your calendars for the next shoot, set for Saturday, 31 August, at 9:00am.
