The club official found a two-way-tie on his first count of the results.

But a second look revealed Zordan had won by one point.

The Warrnambool man finished with 942 points ahead of Ross Buzolich on 941 and John Yurisic on 927.

Zordan, who has been with the club four years, took out the Rimfire competition. Rimfire is small ammunition.

"It's excellent, I didn't expect to win tonight it's been a fairly competitive situation the whole five shoots," he said.

"It's a great club to be involved with, very friendly people.

"I've been involved with many clubs in the past and this is one of the best."

The competition was held over the past five weeks with participants' best four shoots going toward their total score.

Each week they got five shots each at five targets.

A maximum of 50 points was up for grabs on each target, making the perfect score 250.

Yurisic, the club's vice-president and secretary, said the group was working hard to build a welcoming and inclusive culture.

"We've been promoting ourselves through social media as well as word-of-mouth through ex-members and new members," he said.

"Welcoming all those who want to shoot at our wonderful facility, which has basically undergone a restoration through members in the past year or so.

"That means other clubs based at home here have done the same."

He said the group, which has 60 members, aimed to have 100 by the end of 2021.

"This club used to have quite a member following and it dropped off over the past couple of years," he said.

"We're just trying to build it back up through events, which we've done and we've introduced some fun things."

He said the club was focused on providing events members wanted.

The vice-president added there had been some exciting developments.

He said the club had received approval from licensing division Melbourne to shoot steel targets.

"So we've introduced some new reactive targets as well as our static ones," he said.

The club has introduced reactive targets on its 100-yard and 900-yard ranges. There's also a 20-metre indoor range.

The 900-yard range also has mobile targets so members can adjust the distance to a target.

Yurisic explained there were upgrades coming for the Warrnambool Target Sports Complex, including an approved and secure storage facility for firearms.

The club also received a grant through Warrnambool City Council's Community Development Fund earlier this year.

"We a got a grant to increase the lighting on this (100-yard) range so that's coming," he said.

Yurisic added the club hoped to train up some more range officers to conduct shoots.
