Bright and sunny conditions brought out 24 shooters for the Beryl Jones Memorial Trophy at the Cobar Clay Target Club on Sunday.
A slight breeze helped to keep the shooters alert, and on their toes!
Traditionally a Skeet event starts off the annual event and Steve Zadow, with a score of 24/25, finished as the winner.
Three down-the-line events followed.
In the 30 Target Double Barrel, Robert Thompson finished as the AA Grade winner with a score of 29/30; Zadow and Brad Kendrick were joint winners in A Grade with 30/30 each: Sue Crane also scored 30/30 to win B Grade: and Julianne Foster took out C Grade with 26/30.

Julianne Foster won the main event, the Beryl Jones 30 Target Handicap, with a near perfect score of 29/30.
Second place went to Aiden Barraclough with 27/30 and there was a four-way tie for third place, with Peter Hosie, Tony Rogers, Brad Kendrick and Sue Crane, all finishing with 26/30.
