Club shooting
Our new shooters continue to improve dramatically. Gigi, Jessica and Johnson all scored new PBs (91.2, 90.1 and 82.2 respectively). Ewan Mirza led C Grade with 94.1 followed by Finn Ashby and Jack Day, who both scored 93.2. Inge Little's 98.6 was top of B Grade ahead of Jaz Hamilton's 95.3. In the higher grades, Evan Little top scored with 98.7, one inner ahead of Stephen Thessman's 98.6. Erin Little's 199.14 was the top 20-shot of the night.
 
Venturers social shoot
Last Tuesday the Karori Venturers came along for a social shoot. With 30 people attending it was a busy night, but generated some good income for the club. Many thanks to everyone who helped with coaching, range officering, marking, and everything else that's needed for these social shoots to run smoothly. Richard, the Venturers leader, said the night is one of the highlights of their year!
 
Open Championships
The second Open Champs of the season is this weekend in Palmerston North, followed by the Rangitikei Open in Marton next week.  Marton is a unique experience as it has electronic targets, providing immediate, automated scoring via a screen on the mound for each shooter.
 
For those who missed this introduction a couple of weeks ago: Open Championships are a great way to get experience in competition shooting and to meet the wider shooting community. Open Championships are listed on the BSRC calendar  These individual competitions are held most weekends at ranges around the North Island. They are open to TSNZ affiliated members who are shooting in the sling and jacket. If you are using club equipment and would like to attend one, ask around the licenced members of the club to see if anyone is going who could transport your gear for you.
