Offa's Dyke Rifle Club  (Established 1992 - SJ Clark)

ODRC Shoot Reports :

New Items added June 2009

Yes folks, at last I have got round to updating this section of the site, with a few reports and photo's of Club activities of late.

Recent Competition held at Llansilin.

Course of Fire & Targets By Mr SJ Clark

                The competition that was held at Llansilin on 23^rd May was, according to the 30 members that attended, a success. Above are the photographs of the winners for each class, there were four places in both classes’ to be won, Scope and Iron sight.

A special “Thanks” goes to Mike and John Holbrook who attended to help by being the Butts officers for two details, they did not come to shoot but to be of help in general, perhaps more members should consider being of help to the club on such competition days. There were other members who worked on the day that made it all very worthwhile. A big “Thank You” to all concerned.
