Club Shooting
For the second week in a row, all our D Graders recorded scores in the 90s. The top two scores were both PBs for their respective shooters: Analin Rudd scored 96.4 and Ellie Mazey scored 96.1 - congratulations! Jaz Hamilton's 98.4 was top of C Grade followed by Finn Ashby's 94.1. In B Grade, only 3 inners separated the top two scores. Ben Dunning's 98.6 led ahead of Clive Brodie's 98.3. The top score of the night, 99.8, was shot by Meredith Ackrill with Megan Brodie close behind on 98.6. The lead switched in the 20 shots, with Megan scoring 198.13 and Meredith 195.10.
