Shooting

OVER the past four weeks our pennant team has been travelling to the Katandra Rifle Club for the Chas Hayes long distance series.

We had a reasonable level of confidence going into the three stage competition but a combination of key shooter unavailability and some fickle flatland winds testing our wind coaches, we were unable to defend our tenure of the Chas Hayes Trophy for another year.

The distances were 2 x700, 2x800 and 2x 900 yards respectively.

Karramous RC were the winners by one point from Katandra RC with East Central District RC coming a hard earned third with 12 points.

Karramomus 16 points

Katandra 15 points

ECDRA 12 points

Shepp-Nathalia 11 points

Nagambie 6 points

Thanks to all our team members who contributed to the competition which, as usual, was carried out with intense concentration and, after the final shot, with good humour in the clubhouse.

A special thanks to our wind coaches, Graeme Kerr, Terry Gee, Glenn Chisholm and Des Coulter.

Over the next few weeks, we will be concluding our club Individual Championship series over 300, 500 and 600 yards.
