There is a trophy to be presented to the winning team each year and, after engraving, placed on display in the offices of the Trusteebank Wanganui for 6 months in Raetihi and 6 months in Ohakune. There are minor prizes also awarded. This year's competition will begin on Monday 16 . March 1987. It will be held at the Club Range in the 'Produce Shed' at the Raetihi Showgrounds, opposite the Raetihi Cemetery. It will be conducted over the 25 yard range and shooting at the standard smallbore rifle cardboard targets consisting of 10 black markers. No previous experience with firearms is necessary. On-site coaching will be provided by Club members who will assist in every way possible to ensure that each shooter achieves the best

score possible. The Club will provide all the equipment necessary which will include rifles, ammunition, targets and leather slings for assistance in holding the rifles. A team will consist of 4 people from any commercial enterprise, local or Government enterprise within the Waimarino. The cost per member will be $5.00, or a total of $20 per team which will cover the cost of the ammunition and use of Club equipment.
