Colbinabbin Clay Target Club held its premier annual event, the Anzac Day shoot, on the day of commemoration, Friday, April 25.
Seventy shooters from around Victoria took part in the shoot, competing in double barrel, single barrel and point score events.
“We had a great day,” club president Lee Fitzgerald said.
“We had 70 shooters on the day, we did our traditional Anzac service.
“We do the Last Post and then have a minute’s silence and then The Rouse, so we did all of that for the crowd and everyone had a very enjoyable and successful day.”
Competitors from locally and as far as Gippsland, Melbourne and Cohuna were in attendance.
Echuca’s Grant Sing had a good meet, taking out the point score with 93 straight targets, while the 30-target double barrel event went to 109 targets before he scored the win.
Bendigo’s Kevin Gillespie took out the single barrel after 34 targets.
Ben D’Antonio of Werribee Victorian Clay Target Club was the high gun winner.
The club’s regular meetings are on the fourth Sunday of the month, with the next one scheduled for May 25.
“We'll be back to doing the regular ‘juniors shoot free’ (promotion), and we'll be doing coaching for the juniors again,” Fitzgerald said.
“We still welcome any new members, any beginners, and we will help and coach anyone to whatever level.
“If they just want to be social or if they want to become quite competitive, we can help them.”
