We held our John Fleming Memorial shoot yesterday, lucky we moved the date from today as it's snowing where I am now. 22 shooters enjoyed a sunny day with the wind turning rather tricky at 600 and 700yards. Andre du Toit took out TR (1 inner ahead from Snowdy), Matthew McCallum-Clark won FO, Sharon Grimsey won FTR, David Smith FPR and Benchrest Alan Cresswell. A bbq afterwards with yummy lamb sausages donated by Martin, thanks!
