GOLDEN BULLET - 2017
April 2-3, 2017 witnessed the inaugural Golden Bullet competition. This two day event, held over 700m - 900m, and catering for all full-bore shooting disciplines was supported by 53 competitors who travelled from Perth, Esperance, Albany and all places in-between.
The shoot, instigated and organised by the Busselton Rifle Club members was several years in the making, due to the sudden closure of the Coolilup Range for a period of 20 months. However, not to be daunted, the club members persisted with their vision and supported by very generous trophy donors, and assisted by Bunbury RC members in the range preparations and target maintenance, all that could be done to achieve a successful meeting was done.
Trophies were presented to the top 5 shooters in each discipline, and the results were:
TARGET RIFLE
Badge No 1, and inscription on the "Golden Bullet" - S McDonald with a score of 433.34
