It was great to see so many of our members shooting above their averages this week, with some phenomenal scores recorded. New PBs were shot by Erin Little 99.7, Casey Israelson 96.4, Anna 96.3, Yiannis Fam 96.3 and Ethan Haigh 86.1.
The best 20-shot score was shot by Evan Little 198.9, followed by David Grain 197.9 and Craig Fair 196.12. Pratik Tailor scored highest in Master Grade with 100.6. The competition was very tight in A Grade, with only three points separating all scores – Evan Little scored best with 99.6. Craig Fair’s 99.5 was an inner ahead of Wiko du Toit’s 99.4 in B Grade. In C Grade Erin Little led with an extremely impressive 99.7, while Amalamo Simi 97.5 and Iain Mackay 97.2 also shot incredibly well. And the top five in D Grade this week were Casey Israelson 96.4, Anna 96.3, Yiannis Fam 96.3, Melchior Meares 95.3 and Qiyun Goh 93.5. Great shooting!
Wellington squeezed in a win against Nelson in Round 2 of the NDC held on Thursday, with five‑point wins in both the composite and junior sections to give the team 7 points against Nelson’s 6 points. Oscar Robinson again shot extremely well, scoring 196.8, and Mark Riley should be very happy with his 290.10. Wellington have dropped to 2nd place in the table, behind Eastern Force who we face in Round 3 on Thursday 8 June.
Three club members travelled to the Poroutawhao range in Levin on Saturday. Meredith Ackrill recorded an excellent 296.17, and Craig Fair a very respectable 287.12.
Results from Round 1 of the closed champs will be available later this week. The deadline for the next round is Sunday 11 June.
Triple S targets are now available at the club for all secondary school students. This competition is very similar to the Wellington closed champs competition, and comprises four rounds, two in each of Terms 2 and 3, with the last round being a 20-shot target. The deadline for Round 1 is Sunday 11 June.
Good luck to our interclub team members in their matches tomorrow night.
