High shooting

Different from other sports, in that it demands a keen eye and a steady hand rather than physical strength or fitness, shooting has an appeal of its own.

It is also one of the few sports in which men and women are able to compete on equal terms.

Women members have always played a prominent role in the Vic Club's activities.

The Club has the use of the Brooklyn Club's 25yd indoor range on Bruce Ave for their Club night each Monday.

Among the equipment owned by the Club is a good number of BSA target rifles, which all members are free to use at no charge.

In the Club are qualified coaches, who are present to help beginners and others.

Details of the facilities available and how to get to the range are on the Club noticeboard.

Competitions are run within the Club, and teams are entered in the Wellington Associations inter-club series.

Teams of all grades representing Wellington generally have a disproportionately large number of Varsity Club members.

In August a team of five is sent to the NZU Winter Tournament, this year to be held in Wellington. New members are eligible.

The Club invites all interested people to contact Norm Robieson, phone 28-385 (evenings).
