The sporting shooters recently finished major construction on their new 200 metre centrefire range and renovating the rimfire and pistol range. Work began in May, with the rimfire and pistol range renovations completed by August.
Forbes S.S.A.A Branch President Norm Brook said they would like to thank the NSW state branch for their help in upgrading the range.
NSW S.S.A.A. CEO Jai Rowell said while they helped support the branch, the upgrade would not have been possible without local branch members and the Forbes Shire Council.
