Moama Anglican Grammar School students were on the range at Echuca Clay Target Club on Wednesday afternoon, completing the first of five sessions they will take part in as part of their sports program.
Twenty-two students, including 10 who had participated in the same sessions last year, were given instructions by members of the Echuca Clay Target Club, as well as a briefing on firearm safety.
The students will improve upon their skills over the first four weeks, before competing among each other in a knockout-style competition in the final week to determine the best marksman within the group.
