More than 60 shooters took part in the “Kingaroy Pistols & Peanuts” open shoot at the South Burnett Pistol Club in Kingaroy at the weekend.
The three-day event began with black powder shooting on Friday, followed by ISSF-sanctioned air pistol, centrefire and standard match events on Saturday and Sunday.
Shooters came from clubs across Queensland to take part in the events.
Club president Tony Rossi said he was pleased with the roll-up.
On the Saturday and Sunday, shooters took part in 10m, 25m and 50m competitions.
It has been a busy time at the South Burnett Pistol Club, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.
Last month, it hosted the Queensland State Championships for Black Powder Pistols.
Jeff Greening was crowned 25m champion and Aggregate State Champion, while Marie Kent took the 50m title.
