Shoot Report – Peter Saich
There was a good turnout of members for the annual Handicapped pairs competition over seven stands despite the low temperatures all morning. Andy and Glen had produced another well thought out layout with a good variety of targets.
There were some for everyone to hit and a couple that caught out even the top shots, especially stand 1 where 2’s and 4’s were common A Class scores. Andy had cleverly made stand one 5 pairs as he thought that we would need a couple of pairs to get tuned in and hit them and he was not wrong!
Top score of the day was 51 from Jason Stredwick and even he missed six targets on stand one!
Second were Nigel Foreman and Gary Evans on 50. Particularly remarkable as Gary has somehow got himself into B Class – Handicap committee have been notified…..
In the Handicapped event, the cards were selected at random to give a total pairs score. Sixteen members (around half of those shooting) achieved their average or higher to give them a total of 60+ so the handicaps seemed to be exactly right.
There are no class or individual prizes for the January shoot, but bragging rights for the highest combined score and handicap go to Junior Otis Oakford with a total of 67.73 after a personal best round of 35.
After all the calculations and checking of dodgy addition on the scorecards, the top pair were Charlie Palmer and Gary Evans with a combined total of 133.29. In second place were Matt Oldland and Otis Oakford on 130.46.

Thanks as usual to those who helped set up and break down and turned out on a cold grey day to support us.
