Murray Finch Leads Burra Rifle Club Handicap at Burra Range
The Burra Rifle Club held a long handicap at Burra Range with Murray Finch leading amid tough conditions, especially at 300 yards where a strong wind caused many to miss. Finch scored 4 of 40 with open sights and Inner shots, while at 100 yards he made an inner-filled possible. Attendance reached 32 shooters and the club plans future events and potential renovations to extend ranges, with next Saturday’s shoot covering 500 and 700 yards under M F Reed.
