FROM THE PRESIDENT
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of SCA to thank all the state and club
PO Box 42, Helensvale, Qld, 4212 office bearers, committees and volunteers that have worked so hard this year to
keep your shooting ranges open. Your efforts have allowed members to shoot and
feel safe by embracing the Covid-19 protocols for community sport. This year has
seen all but one major event cancelled, Steve Chilton the National Target Director
and his team of State Target Directors have had to make many tough decisions

There have been a few questions raised regarding No Target rules and how they are scored and

As rain had been forecasted all weekend our club members were
more than happy as over 90 shooters nominated to shoot in the
testing conditions. As Mudgee accommodation was once again indeed although it was alright in the office. FIOCCHI and TSA
