2022 Cowra Gold Cup Shoot

The 2022 Len Bird Cowra Gold Cup Shoot was conducted on the 6 & 7 August in variable weather conditions. The weekend attracted close to 70 participants of all levels from AA Elite through to C Grade and also included Ladies, Veterans and Junior competitors. As part of the program of events, the inaugural Glenn Sinclair Memorial Champion of Champions was conducted with many people reminiscing about their memories of Glenn & his long association with the sport.

The overall High Gun winner of the Gold Cup which was beautifully crafted by Andrew at Superb Jewellery, was Peter Jones from Dubbo. Peter is a frequent visitor to the club and his cumulative score for the weekend of 382/390 was a testament to his ability considering the challenging weather conditions. A great achievement.

• Aaron Jones – Cowra Services Club Double Barrel C’shp 70/70
