Competitors in the Deniliquin Clay Target Club Christmas shoot were presented with a perfect sunny day on Sunday as an early present.
The conditions helped attract a big field for the novelty shoot.
Event organiser Rob Collicoat said it was “extremely pleasing” to see so many coming from clubs outside Deniliquin to take part.
“The ladies committee cooked up a wonderful array of food for those present on the day making it extremely enjoyable for all involved,” he said.
