Steven Rand has been busy in lock down making gun stands for us, many thanks Steven.
We are also in the process of putting together a wish list for upgrades on the range with the hope we can get some financial help from the sports council. Once we get some better weather we will be having work parties to do some of the work, so keep yourselves handy to help with the work
That’s all for now
