The Perth Fremantle Rifle Club held a night competition on 23 March 2024 and attracted 30 entries from country and city clubs. There were a few changes to the event this year with shooters firing 15 and 10 shot applications over 500m. To spice up the night, wind flags were not provided. This didn’t deter F Standard champion Marlon Reid from achieving a 90.10 and a 58.3. His judgement of the light breezes was equalled by Sporter champion Ron Lean with a 75.10 and 50.9.
Perth Fremantle thanks all those that travelled from other clubs, the members of Bassendean Bellevue Rifle Club who provided their targets to add to ours, and the team that served refreshments.
