Condobolin Sharpshooters
3rd Annual Round-up
19-20 May 2007
The Condobolin Sharpshooters held their third Annual Round-up on May 19 and 20, with some 30 people attending from Silverdale, Trunkey Creek, Young, Forbes, Milperra, Bexley North, Derriwong, Gloucester, Bendick Murrell, Condobolin, Tullamore, Lake Cargelligo, Oberon and Canley Vale.
On Saturday night, after a delightful meal, people sat around a campfire and had a sing-along. Tatanka and She Wolf from Young brought their guitars and Reverend John Moses Browning brought his didgeridoos, which made for a pleasant evening of entertainment.
On Sunday morning, everyone rose at the crack of dawn, ready for their cooked breakfast and to finish the weekend’s shooting. After lunch, the awards were presented and a raffle was drawn.

All of the prizes were won by Bev Tanks from Parkes, who sold more than $60 worth of tickets to her family members.
The Condobolin Sharpshooters would like to thank major sponsors Thales Australia, Macquarie Firearms, Austen Brooks Firearms and Peter Kay Firearms. The scenarios have been written and the theme has been selected for next year’s Roundup. This year commemorated Wild Bill; next year it will be Calamity Jane.
