Western District Muzzle Loaders Club
On the 16th of August Les Lockland and John Culver accompanied the Western District Muzzle Loaders Club to the Simpson Gun Range for their "Wet to the Arse" competition. Various competitions and skill firing were conducted. Shooters work in pairs, making their way through a very wet forest and creek beds to seek out hidden targets. Points are awarded for their observation and accuracy. Many of the participants dress in official 1800's clothing. The shooters really have a great time, but safety is paramount. Around 30 shooters entered this years competition.
