Harris Gun Club held the first-ever ladies’ competition, in what is yet another milestone for the rapidly-expanding club.
After being crowned 2013 sports club of the year in Lewis and Harris, and seeing a significant increase in membership, the club is looking to run a series of new events from their shooting range at Aline Forest.
