  1. JACKSON CHALLENGE TROPHY: 2 sighters & 10 to count at 300 & 500 yards, a.m.
  2. LOVESY CHALLENGE BOWL: 2 sighters & 10 to count at 600 yards, p.m.
  3. LONG RANGE TROPHY: 2 sighters & 10 to count at 900 yards, p.m.
  4. PRESIDENT’S PRIZE, the Championship: best aggregate score for the day.

Disappointingly, only six members were able to make it to this important event. Nevertheless, they enjoyed a very pleasant day’s shooting in benign conditions marred only by a couple of light showers. The results of the competitions were:

Competition Winner Score
The Jackson R A Welford 99.12
The Lovesy D J King 50.6
The Long Range D J King 50.8
The President’s Prize D J King 198.24

110918lrAficionados will recognise that these scores are good, which may reflect the conditions to some extent. It is worth noting that Rob Welford also scored 50.6 in the Lovesy, but was counted out, and was a very close second in the Presidents Prize with 198.21. Remarkably, five of those present scored 49 or over at 900 yards, as follows:

Andrew Black 49.5
Ted Eilley 49.7
David King 50.8
Rob Pile 49.4
Rob Welford 49.3
