Club shooting
It was a busy evening at the club with 5 members moving to sling and jacket and 9 visitors. Many thanks to everyone who helped the night run smoothly.
Top shot in D grade this week was Kate Yu's 95.4 - especially impressive considering this was Kate's first night using the sling and jacket! Jack Day's 95.2 was only a couple of inners behind. Jaz Hamilton led C grade with a 97.4. Dianne Grain's 99.4 was top of B grade ahead of Inge Little's 97.4. Bex Baines led the higher grades with a 99.5 followed by Megan Brodie's 98.7. David Grain's 197.11 was the top 20 shot of the night ahead of Erin Little's 195.8.
