Natives Club member, Josh Pratt, has won the 2021 NQRA Queens, his first Queens Prize competition win, at the age of 18 years!
This victory comes against strong and experienced shooters including multiple Queens Prize winner, Steve Negus of Canberra who Josh triumphed over by 2 points in a hotly contested three-day competition only decided at the final range!
Josh joined the Natives Rifle Club in 2016 as a 13 year old and in the intervening years until this wonderful victory, Josh has shown his excellent skills representing Australia in the 2019 World Championships in the Under-25 team and finishing 16th in those World Championships. Josh has also finished high on the leader board at several major Prize Meetings. Josh won the Natives Club’s two-day in 2019 which was considered at the time as a fair indication that Josh’s potential in our sport was unlimited.
