After a busy 10 weeks the Dannevirke Junior Smallbore Rifle Club wound up the season with a family (mostly parent) versus child competition on the range.
An enthusiastic group of 21 shooters had been training and competing under the direction of Ruth and Rob McNair and their enthusiastic band of supporters every Tuesday night and results were good although some parents surprised their children by grabbing the bragging rights.
