Ravenshoe/Mt Garnet

A good turn up of 37 shooters (11 from Ravenshoe) on the first day
and 33 on the second day enjoyed sunny and hot weather. The heavy
mirage was the biggest challenge for the shooters especially in the
mid-morning and afternoon ranges. The first day was 400m, 600m and
500m after a delightful lunch. On Sunday it was 500m and then 600m to
end the competition. Since the first range, the Ravenshoe shooters
showed some excellent scores with Peter Burg and Kath Chatfield
achieving a possible each at the 400m. Peter Burg kept up is good
performance achieving a possible on both Sunday's ranges, while
Betta Gianasi achieved a possible at the 500m range.
