The impressive ‘William Fraser Shield’ was presented by William Fraser while a member of the Cairns Rifle Club. The trophy is awarded for the Inter-Association Teams Shoot – North Queensland versus South Queensland with the first year of competition being 1959.

Most, if not all, QRA ranges located in Queensland are back shooting on some regular schedule. Certainly, in some cases it’s not what we were totally used to with changes having been made to accommodate the necessary health directives currently in place.
