Cooma Rifle Club Last Saturday morning started out fine, clear, warm and almost windless for the second shoot for the monthly spoon, held from 400 yards. Later in the morning there was a change with the northerly breeze being replaced by a brisk south-to-south westerly wind with turbulance caused by the ridge south of the range. First stage generally were better than the second stages because of the wind. The off-rifle scores were: Noel Barrett 48.3 and 46.2 total 94.5, Frank Toth 48.4 and 43.0 total
91.4, Graeme Crundwell 43.1 and 44.0 total 87.1, Roger Avis 33.1 and 42.1 total 75.2, Brian Bradley 34.0 and 34.0 total 68.0. With handicaps Noel won from Frank, Graeme and Brian. The spoon award was easily settled, as Brian was the only shooter to shoot on both days of the competition. The spoon will be awarded next week. Next Saturday shooting will be from 500 yards for the monthly heat of the club championship and Gregory Shield annual competition.
