Congratulations to Cassie Truscott and Jack Day on recording new 20-shot PBs yesterday (189.5 and 182.3 respectively). It was great to see so many of our shooters having a go at a 20-shot target.

The North Island Champs are being held in Palmerston North on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September. This is the final open champs on the 2020 calendar. If you wish to compete and are using club equipment, please ensure you discuss transportation with a senior member at the club next Sunday.
A reminder to ensure your Excel spreadsheet is up to date and ready to return to Meredith Ackrill as soon as possible after 27 September in order to collate and forward to TSNZ. All competition scores need to be included (club, interclub, closed champs, representative, schools, open champs, etc) but only whole numbers, not inners.
