Twilight Targets with The Burdekin Clay Target Club

The Burdekin Clay Target Club enjoyed a successful weekend, starting with an impressive turnout of 24 competitors on the evening of Saturday 20 July. The evening’s competition was intense, with many shooters rising to the challenge of night shooting, which can be particularly tricky.

Sunday 21 July brought an even larger crowd, with 37 shooters taking part. The weather was pleasant, with a light breeze adding to the day's enjoyment. The club extends a big thank you to their sponsors, Burdekin Tyres and Burdekin Engineering, for their support.
