SHOOTING.

BALCLUTHA RIFLE CLUB. The opening of the Balclutha Defence Rifle Club was held on the Barnego Range on Wednesday in fine weather. There were about 15 members present. The shooting was good at 200 yards, but at 500 yards the choppy wind troubled-* the shootists a little. Taken all round, and considering the men were all out of practice, f the scores were very good. The conditions were seven shots, with two optional sighters, at 200 yards and 500 yards, and the finish was a very close dne, Healey and Knowles each getting on 61, the former winning on the count out. The president (Major Pennycook) provided light refreshments, and a very pleasant afternoon was spent. The best scores were:— . 200 500 T1 M\ Healey .. .. .. .. 32 29—61 J.
