Vale Rob Richards-Mousley.

Born in Thebarton.

6/8/1930 – 16/9/2019

For many of us the years are a lifetime, but for one man, the years are just some and a few more.

Robert Richards-Mousley, a young Sheep Station Manager, loved shooting.

In May of 1958, he decided to join his local long-range target shooting club of Menindee, a small town east of Broken Hill NSW.

During the shooting calendar of 1958 to 1961, Rob was their club champion.

He also took on leadership rolls and was the Club Captain in the years 1959 to 1962.

In October 1961, Rob travelled to Adelaide, SA and entered the S.A.R.A Queens Prize shoot. As an unknown from the bush, Rob entered as a ‘B’ grader and won a tidy sum of one pound, (which would equal $32 today). This win automatically had him upgraded to ‘A’ grade.

Rob relocated from Menindee NSW to Adelaide SA in 1962 and joined the Adelaide Rifle Club, one of ten clubs residing at the Dean Rifle Range in Port Adelaide.

In 1962, Rob was able to shoot the HEASLIP lead up match, (as it was known then) and also the 1962 SARA Queens. That year he was victorious and won the HEASLIP Lead-up event.  Rob also won this event in 1980.

Competing in the HEASLIP lead-up events, Rob won 2 x first places, 2 x seconds, 1 x third place plus 15 HEASLIP spoons.

Over the years as a Target Rifle shooter, Rob was presented with SARA Queens 3rd place plus 17 other numbered SARA Queens badges.

Rob has participated and shot at an ‘A’ grade level for 58 consecutive years, even after changing disciplines to F Class Standard in 2006 -2007. We feel this is a very rare and unique milestone.

Rob was also one of SARA’s oldest competing members, at the age of 88.

We knew that Rob intended to shoot the 2019 SARA Queens as he had all his ammo loaded and prepared.  Due to a hiccup with his health in June 2019, sadly Rob was unable to take on the challenge.
