It was marvellous to see a field of 50 members turned out on Saturday for the first fixtures match of the year over 300 yards.
It was the usual hot and humid day for this time of year with light to moderate winds coming in over the left shoulder of the shooters (NE).
It all seemed rather innocuous until the shots started turning up outside the major scoring rings! Nevertheless, some great scores were achieved, notably Bob Crawford (TR-A) 105.12, Ivor Davidson (F-Std) 126.18, David Noonan (S-PC) 105.12 and Brett Clarkson (S-PCO) 105.15!
A special shout-out to Ivor Davidson (F-Std) who only missed the super-centre for three of his 21 shots and to David Noonan (S-PC) who was having just his second outing with his new Tikka Ace Sporter in 6.5 Creedmore using factory ammunition! Well done, David!
Natives TR Teams achieved a clean sweep winning TR-A, TR Reserve and the combined TR-B and TR-C grade teams matches!
Up the Natives!
