Yesterday (19th July) the club hosted the TGS Cadet Unit for their annual Marksmanship Competition.

A total of 27 participants completed a 100-shot course of fire comprising 50 shots using 6x scoped rifles at 50m and another 50 shots using "old school" iron sight rifles at 25m.

Some excellent results were recorded by both students and supervisors alike, especially so in the blustery conditions that prevailed throughout the day.

The top scorers for the day from the possible of 80 and 40 centres i.e., 80 (40) were:

1st Place - Amza Fleming - 76 (17)
2nd Place - Will Neville - 75 (19)
3rd place - Aman Rao - 74 (12)

Top Female Shooter: Sofia Shepard - 64 (12) winning by 5 centres
from Niamh Kelly 64 (7)

Best Score by a Supervisor: Stan Paynter - 79 (11)

The behaviour of the students was exemplary and it was evident that they enjoyed their time during the competition.

I would particularly like to thank those members who gave up their Sunday to assist at the event. It's a long day, and such events cannot be conducted without the assistance of volunteers to ensure that the competition runs smoothly.

It was particularly great to see many of our newer members assisting with the various jobs during the day.

Special thanks also to Jeff Barton for his efforts in providing the food and drinks for the day. I know that the salad rolls he put together went down very well with participants and volunteers alike.

Next weekend we're back to "normal"shooting with a members only shoot on Sunday 26h July and the club's next Come and Try shoot scheduled for Sunday 2nd August.

Both shoots at the usual starting time - i.e., arrive at 8:30am for a 9am start.

Just a quick reminder that our club is hosting the annual TGS Marksmanship Competition on Sunday 19th July.

The Toowoomba Small Bore Silhouette Rifle Club has hosted this annual event for the TGS Cadet unit for over 25 years, reflecting the long association between the two organisations.
