Shooters hit their mark at handgun league match

Shots flew at the fourth handgun league match of the Mpumalanga Practical Shooting Association held at the White River Shooting Club on July 11.

The White River Shooting Club hosted competitors from Piet Retief, Ermelo and Secunda and the forty participants were divided into several groups. The competition was divided six stages on six different ranges.

The ranges each had a different layout which tested different skills and players had to hit moving targets, duck, bob and weave through obstacles. There was also a set number of rounds (bullets) that were scored in each stage.

The White River Club performed very well, with several among the top three in each class.
