Horrie Millison.

Shooting shotgun, Horrie Millison is our Shotgun Captain and daredevil flier on the broom stick.


Just pipped to second place by Slim Dusty in a radio country & western singing competition many years ago, he is still the life of parties around the camp fire at the range.

 


The one that didn't get away!

 

The day that the prize didn't get away, John Peters hoofing off with the prize before the rest of us could mug him.

 

 

 

 

 


Witch target?

Was he going to be the target?

 

 

 

 

 


Black powder Shotgun.

During long shooting matches with black powder breech loading shotguns, the barrels can get so hot that you cannot hold the barrels with thick leather gloves.

The black powder muzzleloading shotguns get to cool off between shots as it takes 5-10 minutes to reload.

Nitro shotguns don't have this problem.

"Stairway to Heaven" #2

Tom Potter, the Club's President from '91-'95, firing from the "Stairway to Heaven" platform. The clays are launched either from the trap house in front of and left of picture, or from a trap below and behind the shooter under the stairs which the clays fly out from between your feet, or thirdly, a trap set in a high tower behind and to the left of the picture which the clays fly overhead.
