If you have any questions about college shooting, please direct your queries to Craig Fair or Stephen Thessman, who are running the college shooting programme this year.
Marking
Although we all come for the shooting, the marking of targets is also a crucial part of the sport. Everyone should learn to mark - both to help out with the running of the club, and to give you the skills to check that your targets have been marked correctly. Come along to the marking room at the beginning of a squad you are not shooting on to have a go.
If you are very keen, the Wellington Association is running a marking course at 10am on Sunday 25 July. This course is free for association members. See the marking course poster for more details, and register by emailing Bev Newton.
For all markers, some housekeeping to keep the marking room running smoothly. Please:
- make sure all scores are recorded on both the squad card and the scoresheet
- remember to write the inners, even if zero
- for all cards, write in the P/C column if the card was a comp (C), practice (P), SSS, or closed champs estimate (CC est)
- if closed champs cards were shot on the round, please write the estimate score in the scoresheet and sign and date the back of the card
