It will not have escaped the notice of some of you that it has been some time since I’ve contributed to this blog – many apologies. Here’s a summary of how the club and its shooters have been doing over the summer:
Portsmouth City was proud to send 5 shooters to the NSRA/ELEY final this year. This was an excellent number to get to the 50m outdoor final from a total of 12 shooters who took part in the competition. For J. Rowe and M. McCormick, this competition was about besting their scores and standing compared to last year, while at the same time being in higher, more competitive divisions. While for the ladies, this was L. Haskett and T. Rowe’s first time shooting in these finals and thus their first experience of the infamous wind on the Century Range.
Here’s how everybody did:
G. Scruton (191, 188 – 379), Class A: 20th place
G. Scruton (191, 188 – 379), Class A: 20th place
J. Rowe (192, 186 – 378), Class C: 4th place (achieved 4th place in Class E last year: 185, 192 - 377)
L. Haskett (189, 185 – 374), Class E: 2nd place
M. McCormick (177, 179 – 356), Class E: 7th place (achieved 9th place in Class F last year: 170, 182 - 353)
T. Rowe (179, 177 – 356), Class F: 9th place
So overall it was a great Sunday afternoon of shooting for Portsmouth City. The next post will stay outdoors and review some of the other 50m and 100yd matches that City shooters have taken part in over the summer.
