Weekly Review 19/12/2020

Bathurst Rifle Club Inc., 19th December 2020, Captains Trophy 900 yards.

           Saturday saw the completion of the Captains Trophy from 900 yards during a warm day with the usual north westerly breeze proving difficult for most shooters. The apparent mirage did little to assist in reading the many changes in the spring time breeze.

            In Target Rifle Class Graeme Bright held the top spot with an improved second stage score to stay one point ahead of Gordon Shepherd who started well early but couldn’t keep the pace in his second stage. John Coghill scored consistently to finish two points further down but a pair of magpie three’s during his second stage spoilt what could have been a great second stage and top score.

            Graham Willis started with a top stage score for the day dropping just one point and scoring five super centres during his first stage proving too hard to catch for all others with Geoff Willis next four points behind. Phil Mahon finished a further five points away with Jeff Eppleston having a bad day another four points down. Visiting shooter Luke Harris showed some great improvement over previous visits finishing two points behind after getting some tough conditions during his second stage.

            Another round of the Treasurers Trophy was also held with Geoff Willis finishing just in front of Gordon Shepherd for the handicapped results on the day. The Captains Trophy was won by John Coghill (197.5) with runner up Gordon Shepherd (196.75). 

            The next shoot will be on 2nd January 2021, when we will shoot two rounds of the L Williams Cup. Two stages at 300 yards followed by two stages at 500 yards during the afternoon.
