Pistol shooting is an Olympic sport and requires skill and concentration to achieve high levels of accuracy.
Regular shooting is on the first and third Sundays each month from 10am until 2pm, but August we will be having a special as that month has five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays and won't happen again for another 832 years, so we intend to make the most of August, and have been invited to compete at Majura Pistol Club in the ACT on the 31st.
Anyone interested in trying pistol shooting (FREE) can phone or text 0428846203, email: ssaaboorowa@yahoo.com, or Boorowa Pistol Club on Facebook.
