Lyndshurst RC has a two day PM on the 17th & 18th March.

According to a member from North Sydney RC who has spoken to Bruce Rowlands, Lyndhurst will put F Open on if they get at least four FO shooters.

For more info see program at NSW F Class.

Good point,

The Flyer reads 17th & 18th, but states Saturday & Sunday.

Id say it would definitley be Saturday & Sunday.

Lyndhurst Rifle Range
2km south of Lyndhurst on Garland Road (“Sion Hill”)

Drive to Cowra and then take the Cowra to Bathurst Road. You will come to Lyndhurst and take the first turn to your right, keep going past the pub and take the road south out of town. The range is sign posted and to the left.

Cheers

Sorry, can't make it from Goulburn. It is the City's 150 anniversary parade on Saturday and the Council has asked the club to participate in the "historical" parade as rifle shooting is probably the oldest sporting group in the City. The Police have even given the OK to carry (unloaded) rifles.

Hopefully myself and Big john from Cessnock, unless work throws another spanner in the works.

Would anyone like to give me directions to the Lyndhurst Range ??

I managed to Google "2 km sth on the garland rd, property name "sion hill""
is that off the Lyndhurst-Bigga rd ?

If you do not zoom this link you will see a circular gravel drive bottom centre which then crosses the railway. Go over the rail line, follow it past the cattle yards and you can see the clubhouse.
It is off the Lyndhurst/Bigga road you mention. Gravel road runs over to the range which is parallel to the creek. 1000 yd mound is back near rail line.

Mt Mcdonald road changes to Lyndhurst/Bigga Road at Leabeater Street.

I can read 'EMMS' on the letterbox with streetview. i presume thats the turn off ?

Razer · Post by **Razer** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 8:52 pm

That is it, the sign with 'Rifle range' on it is on the opposite side of the road.

I believe Ben has painted the house since that photo :shock:

so it might look a bit different. :wink:

I have not shot there for 3 years. Could be real interesting Saturday as I have not shot over 600 yds since then.
Completely different loads now so it will be a guesstimate elevation for the 800yds :roll:
