Stuart John Doig - 29 July 1944 – 4 January 2008
Stuart was a genuine friend and a valued member of the Victorian Muzzle Loading Club.
He will long be remembered at the range, shooting one of his much-loved pistols and once again scoring a perfect 10X.
Stuart is greatly missed by all who knew him. His passing left a noticeable absence within our sport, our club, and our lives.
