Sunday saw a few sore heads and some empty bottles but apparently a good time was had by all and as usual Dave’s damper was first class. This was a chance for everyone to test out the new target frames and splash plate. Another sunny day was in store with considerably milder conditions and there were some excellent targets shot.  Plenty of group sizes were in the 9’s scoring around the 1.4 to 1.7 inch mark before David Dundas put down a cracker 0.995 on his A target which scored a 60.4 beating the range records for both small group and high target. David was on a high until his record was beaten on the D target with a group of 0.765. Luckily it was David who had bettered his own group from earlier in the day.
