Congratulations to Glenn Seaman, he has been selected in the Australian team to contest the International Rimfire Bench (IRB) world titles in Europe next year. Glenn is currently ranked third in Australia for IRB. To add the icing to the cake his daughter Emily has been selected to compete as a junior. With Roy Ewin selected to represent at the Pacific Regional Shooting Championships in New Zealand later this year that makes three from Wagga called to represent Australia – little wonder the club competition is so tough!
Meanwhile on the local scene in military rifle David Wade only dropped two points from a possible 300 to win the event with John Buik and Shane Robertson filling the minor places.
