GOLDEN BULLET - 2019
Forty shooters attended the Coolilup Rifle Range over the weekend of 23-24 March to contest the 2019 Golden Bullet. This Prize Meeting is run by the Busselton Club and is notable for the shooting program which consists of 10 shots at 700m, 15 shots at 700m, then 10 shots at 800m followed by 15 shots at 800m on the first day.
The second and final day was all shot over 900m. The program began with 10 shots at 900m and then two 15 shot matches over 900m.
Enthusiasts claim this is the best long range competition on the WARA calendar.
Fine weather prevailed for the whole weekend, with shooters having to contend with a predominately left wind and mirage - difficult at times.
The final results were:
