The Bordertown Gun Club held a shoot last month, with near-perfect conditions for the two events on offer for the day.
The first was a 50-target double barrel championship, which had Gavin Height take the overall honours with a 50/50 – the only possible shot for the event.
There were a total of six 49/50’s shot, with Darren Blok, Steve Chambers, Don Pratt, Daniel Robinson, plus Ash and John Hawker all close to a perfect score.
After a shootout Pratt settled into the runner-up position for overall and AA Grade with a 56/57, while Chambers (69/70) secured A Grade from Blok (68/70).
B Grade was won by Robinson with his 49/50 enough to account for Tim Downing on 44/50.
