Results for the 5th February
Greetings from the first Service Rifle competition held on 5th February 2023! It was a fine, mild and sunny day with very little breeze, perfect conditions for our seven shooters to showcase their skills.
We were excited to welcome two ‘new’ shooters, Greg returning after a break and Graham for his first Military competition, along with five of our regulars. Competitors used a variety of rifles, including M38 Husqvarna’s chambered in 6.5x55 mm, Mark III .303’s, a 1903 A3 Springfield chambered in 30-06, and a Mosin Nagant 7.62 x 54R.
The shooters started with the first targets set up at 50 yards, and David called "Shooters to the bench, please." After the first five shots, the targets were collected and scored, revealing early leaders Brett and Scott, both scoring 50.1, closely followed by David on 50.
Next, we moved on to the second target, 10 shots at 100 yards and a possible score of 100.5. Seems the target crew were a little rusty after the festive break, forgetting to move frames from 50 to 100 yards, but a quick range closure had the situation remedied. At 100 yards, the groups began to open up, making it more difficult to score well. However, Greg and Scott both managed a score of 99.3. Although not admitting it, David may have felt the pressure and was unable to keep pace, falling away with his 96.0.
The third and final target was moved out to 200 yards, (a challenging distance without the aid of a scope) for another 5 shots and a possible 50.5 points on offer. Scott managed to score 42, followed by David with 36 and Greg with 35.
The final results were: 1st place – Scott McKee 191.4 2nd place - Greg Hannon 182.5 3rd place - David Wade 182.0
Congratulations to all of our competitors! It was a great competition and we look forward to the next Military shoot on Sunday 5 March.
Next Sunday, 12/2/23 we are holding the first two field rifle competitions of the year with Centrefire followed by lever action. We encourage you to come along and have a shot or if you are new to shooting/competition and not sure what’s involved, come along for a look and chat to find out more. Competition starts at 10:00 am.
We hope to see you all there!
