It was very pleasing to be able to welcome 27 shooters to the Club on Saturday 6 May for the monthly competition. The breeze kept things pretty cool but the afternoon was enjoyed by all who came along.
The program of events featured the memorial championships & handicap named in honour of hard-working members who have since left us. The Noel Dwight 25 target Memorial Pointscore Championship was won by Thomas Sheridan from Parkes Gun Club with the only possible of 75/75. Local Cowra shooters to perform well included David Hammond taking out B grade with 74/75 and newcomer, Jake McVicar who took out C grade 65/75. Well done to all. The second event was the Dick Toshack 75 target Memorial Champion of Champions which comprises of three disciplines – double barrel, single barrel and pointscore. The eventual winner was local member & club stalwart, Malcolm Drury with the outstanding score of 117/125. Considering the changing light conditions, this score was a great achievement.
Our final event for the day was the Mick Sinclair 25 target Memorial Handicap and this was won by Giulio Serafin, a member of Boorowa Gun Club, who scored 27/28 after a shoot off with David Hammond 26/28.
Congratulations must go to David Hammond who was in very hot form winning the Overall High Gun for the afternoon with a grand total of 229/243!! Excellent shooting against a strong field, David!!
Our next competition on 3 June will feature the Central Tablelands Double Rise championship. We hope to see quite a few here to vie for this prestigious title.
