The afternoon started with a training session for our junior shooters. Five shooters attended and had their positions checked. It was a good opportunity to go through the fundamentals of positioning again and gave the coaches the chance to have a detailed look at each shooter's position and gear. The shooters then participated in a couple of exercises concentrating on their natural point of aim. Many thanks to the coaches who came along and made this session possible - I think we all learnt something too!

 

The training clearly had a positive effect because Kate Yu went on to shoot a new PB of 98.7 for her club 10-shot - congratulations! She was top shot in C Grade for the night, closely followed by Analin Rudd with 96.3. The fantastic shooting continued in all grades. Inge Little led B Grade with a new PB of 100.6 - congratulations! Top shot for the night was hotly contested with David Grain also shooting 100.6, but Erin Little scored a couple of inners higher with her 100.8. The 20-shot competition was almost as close. Bex Baines came out on top with a score of198.11 ahead of both Meredith Ackrill and Erin Little who scored 197.10. 

Round 3 of the Interclub competition was shot on Tuesday night. The B Grade team was up against Wellington Central and shot very well, scoring 380.10 against their 374.10. Top shot was Mark Riley with 97.3. The Open team was up against South Wellington. They recorded a win with a score of 782.38 against SW's 763.23. Top shot was Meredith Ackrill with 198.12. Congrats on another clean sweep for Brooklyn!
