Officials said there was a pleasing roll up of 11 squads to compete and share in the celebrations with locals welcoming visitors from Canberra, Cooma and the Illawarra for the day.
The main event was two rounds of 32 targets spread across eight shooting stations, mostly with unlike singles and a set of double targets.
Darren Redman topped the field after dropping just three targets on the day, while Cooma visitors snagged most of the honours in B grade.
The second event was the George Digweed Challenge where targets are fired further and further from the line. There was an option for shooters to buy back into the event twice (each at $5) for those missing their target.
Numbers were strong out to 30 metres, but started to thin quickly as the target flew further out at 40 metres and it was club president Nev Brady left standing to secure to coveted title.
This year the buy-back open raised $400, which will be donated to the Bermagui Primary School.
Presentations on the day included special awards from the Raabe family for club juniors, and the top honours were claimed by Holly Gschwend with sister Grace and brother Joey nipping at her heels.
Dave Bedingfield was declared club champion in the handicap standings, while Brady secured the aggregate crown.
The club thanked all its volunteers, helpers and sponsors for their support throughout the year and at shoot meets.
