W. Bruce (Mayor o Ross) fired the first shot and declared the club open for sport. As a member of the club he was pleased to see so many present and hoped that they would often meet to indulge in friendly competition. His shot was successful. Subsequently about twenty members took part in firing for the prizes given by Messrs It. Alison and W. Thomas the winner proving to be Mr L. Lord, who killed five birds not missing one shot. Messrs Alison, Davey, Beale Matliieson and Duncan tied for second place killing four birds each.
