This image captures members of the Bunbury Rifle Club relaxing after a day's shoot. In early   March, 1933, The West Australian  reported: "The Bunbury Rifle Club, which has its well equipped range near the Bunbury race course, is an institution of long standing in the district. The club has quite a good membership roll, and members are, at the moment, consistently practising for the annual shoot against competitors from outside centres, which is scheduled to take place at Easter ... Interested riflemen should communicate with the club's secretary, Mr. D. Shaw, care of the Lumpers' Union, Bunbury." One of the first ranges in Bunbury, the site was opened in   February, 1899, and was used by the local civilian militia unit. In   December, 1908, it was upgraded with funds from the Commonwealth. "In the House of Representatives today Sir John Forrest asked the Minister for Home Affairs whether he would expedite the work in connection with the rifle range at Bunbury towards which Â£350 had been placed on the Estimates. Mr. Mahon, in reply, said that he would make an immediate inquiry and ascertain the reason for the delay." By the late 1930s shooting competitions were in full swing. "Reg Teede, a member of the Bunbury Rifle Club, firing over the 600 yard range on Sunday, put up a meritorious performance, scoring a century and winning the club prize," The Daily News reported in   July, 1936. "After reaching 60 out of a possible 70 over the three and five hundred yard ranges, he went back to the 600 yard range in an effort to top the century, for which he needed 34, after allowing for a handicap, and this he secured with seven shots, six of which had to be bulls." rod.moran@wanews.com.au
