Mellows Leads Western Australians in Tasmania Rifle Action
W Mellows of Geraldton, skipper of the Western Australian rifle team, returned from Tasmania with a top Commonwealth marksman standing. He tied A C Boyes for the Tasmanian King’s Prize, lost the shoot-off by three, then won the grand championship aggregate with 357 while Reyes had 29. The range at Tasmania presented harsh wind and cold, challenging woodwork and accuracy for all shooters. Mellows previously represented Australia at Bisley in 1987, finishing third in the English Grand Championship, confirming his high-level form.
