The smallbore rifle club is one which, to the majority of students, appears not to have made a very great impact on the sporting scene.

Yet in its field it has been one of the most successful university clubs. Last year in the Wellington inter-club shoots it won the B grade and C grade competitions and also won the Wellington top club award.

Individually, team members gained places in the Wellington closed championships against some of the best marksmen in the country. Great was Wellington's surprise when lady members of our club scooped the championships.

It was something of a surprise for the club to do so well in the high grades as the main strength, up to the present time, has been in the lower grades.
