TARC 28.01.2023

Well it couldn't have been much wetter with a big low pressure all over the North Island. A keen bunch of Air Rifle  enthusiasts  turned up to shoot  indoors 25yds  bench rest paper. Scores were  of 40 shots  with handicap added. The most improved shooter  to win today was Nigel Kay  with 417.39 .  Second was Keith Zehnder and Frank Eustace a distant 3rd. With handicap scores close to 400 or just over it made a very level  playing field for every one.  After a cuppa some shooters stayed for a further  40 shots.  A perfect 200 score was shot by Frank to finish on  396  followed by Geoff Coubrough 2nd  and third Keith Zehnder. 

Scores with handicaps were: Nigel Kay 417.39, Keith Zehnder 408.71. Frank Eustace 406.15, John  Costain 403.34,  Geoff Coubrough 400.69, Paul Kuriger 400.  Mark Evans 385.32. Karen and Brian Cook had scores off the rifle of 255 and 323 , Some scores were affected by low air pressure  and double loading.  With the threat of disqualifying  if shooters shot on wrong targets there was a lot of care to try and make  sure that  did not happen. I would have to say that the bar of expectation was raised today. What we used to shoot no longer cuts the mustard. 

Congratulations  you all shot well.

Cheers Frank


Editors pic, we all enjoy watching a great airgun score card come together.
