Thanks to all that made this GP happen - as per last year snacks and drinks were delivered to the shooting lines - this year the RFG taxi was in use for the Fire Road shooters. Frienships with shooters and their families established, renewed or strengthened.
The courses were challenging and the dense leaf coverage made the ranging of dark targets equally so.
If you can make the trip next year, do so. You will not be disappointed.
