Club Shooting
The afternoon started with a training session for our junior shooters. Five shooters attended and had their positions checked. It was a good opportunity to go through the fundamentals of positioning again and gave the coaches the chance to have a detailed look at each shooter's position and gear. The shooters then participated in a couple of exercises concentrating on their natural point of aim. Many thanks to the coaches who came along and made this session possible - I think we all learnt something too!
The training clearly had a positive effect because Kate Yu went on to shoot a new PB of 98.7 for her club 10-shot - congratulations! She was top shot in C Grade for the night, closely followed by Analin Rudd with 96.3. The fantastic shooting continued in all grades. Inge Little led B Grade with a new PB of 100.6 - congratulations! Top shot for the night was hotly contested with David Grain also shooting 100.6, but Erin Little scored a couple of inners higher with her 100.8. The 20-shot competition was almost as close. Bex Baines came out on top with a score of198.11 ahead of both Meredith Ackrill and Erin Little who scored 197.10.
