    Hi All, Firstly a great big thank you to everyone who has helped our little club so far. To date we have received around $800 of donations. One of our past members has long term loaned us a bolt action rifle and has given us another one (which is rather rusty and is missing the action but he hopes to find the action soon). We had our Champion of Champions shoot for the Association on Friday and can happily say that for our junior C grader, he used the rifle for the 2nd time to shoot for this and won the C grade and performed really well (nearly matched his personal best) for the Junior Champion. We have a great wee club and with it being the end of the season we can now put more effort into fundraising and trying to locate cheap but accurate 2nd hand bolt action rifles that will be suited to our newbies and juniors.

    Unfortunately there is still no sign of the stolen club rifles nor the 2 Pete and I had on loan to the club to see if club wanted to buy. We keep hoping they will find them given they are inoperable and therefore of no value.

    Please keep your eyes open for anybody selling target rifles without actions and for any second hand bolt action rifles coming on the market. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    Please also keep sharing our Give a Little Page link as it is only through the sharing of this that we get coverage for more support.

    Thanks everyone and good luck with the outdoor season and looking forward to seeing you again soon.
