The weather on the day, November 20, changed from overcast and windy to blue skies and hot and the shooters appreciated the shade tent which was set up at the beginning of the second range with ice cold bottles of water supplied.
A challenge had been set with the women taking to setting the range while the men took over the kitchen.
Mel Phillips and Paula Purvis took on the challenge of planning the range to include an arrangement of targets. With one station in particular, challenging even the most seasoned shooters. With everything simulated from low flying ducks, hidden rabbits and a slim pair of high flyers that brought quite a few undone.
With Jenny Rushton and Roy Butler helping with setup and Tony Monk mowing the way, the range was ready for nearly 50 shooters. Being harvest time, numbers were down but that didn’t stop everyone from enjoying themselves.
Lunch was organised by Chris Everett and Stephen Smith along with their band of helpers.
The theme for the day was ‘with a Dash of Pink” to coincide with the ladies wanting to support the McGrath Foundation. Everyone was asked to wear a dash of pink with those who didn’t being fined a gold coin donation. Along with a 100 club and ‘fines car’ for swearing, slamming of shells and many other things), Dubbo Field and Game Wyanna Shoot donated $290 to the McGrath Foundation.
