Congratulations President Speedy. 3rd in the World

Speedy competed in the  WFTF World Championships in Wellington.

Speedy won 3rd place in the springer section. This is his story:


I was happy to have made the WFTF World Championships in New Zealand this year. Day one saw me running around like a headless chook, as I was a target marshal and all the targets were failing.

Andy Kays (the president of WFTF) stopped the shoot as all targets were failing.


The targets were sorted out on Friday with test firing all targets.

On Saturday shooting continued with all of us having to shoot the remainder of Friday, and try to get as many targets in for Saturday before poor light set in. The shoot got stopped again with me having shot 8 of the 25 lanes.


On Sunday we shot the rest of the course with new partners, and I was lucky to have shot with people I knew from Canada.


I was ready to pull out on Saturday eve, as well as a few other Kiwi shooters due to fatigue. The organiser kept on encouraging us to carry on and that is a result of the trophy.


I must thank all the other shooters and people that pulled out to run things smoothly for their efforts.


Thanks to Adam for a well run, catered, looked after event.
