Numbers turning up for the Xmas shoot this year were low at just 35 members and 8 guests, no doubt due to the wet and windy weather forecast and our caterer pulling out at the last minute due to local icy conditions first thing.
A deceptively tricky layout over 7 stands caught a fair few of us out this month and it favoured the higher classified club shooters in the handicap competition, more of which later.
In the regular trophy shoot, the trio of Tom Phillips trophies were won in A class by Mike Collins with a very good 43 (on countback, 1 straight to nil over Alex Wells), B class by Steven Keane with an excellent 39 and C class by Chris Grist on 24. Meanwhile in non-trophy AA class our club president Peter Saich was high gun amongst members with 49. Full class results are below.
The outcome of the handicap shoot, with prizes for all shooters – the top 10 receiving a bottle of spirits and the remainder a bottle of wine – was that in first place was Steven Keane, second was Mike Collins and third was Alex Blackwell. Well done everybody!
The full results of the handicap competition can be found here.
A big thank you to everyone who came this month to take part and support the club. Special mentions go to Daren O’Toole who didn’t shoot but amongst other things calculated the results as scorecards were returned, to Peter Saich for organising the raffle and to those who helped set up on Saturday and Sunday and stayed behind to pack away after the shoot in unpleasant conditions.
