Carrying on from the successful sleep over weekend, members then competed in an inter club night shoot at the Hastings Club under flood lights.
The attending members were able to come away with two podium places being Brad Grauls second and Rod Hailes third a splendid effort.
Next it was down to Manly for the two day tournament where we also had members representing us, ranges were as usual very demanding due to the hills and valleys, some were on so steep an angle that toes were best kept back out of the line of fire.
Again our members showed the other shooters from all over the country that we were there to give them our best shots.
Results were as follows with Alex Elvin classed into the top ten, then in their respective divisions we had Alanna Herring second, Owen Kirkman second, Alex Elvin third, we were also successful in the team event finishing third.
Other competing members also posted terrific results for a great weekends competition, congratulations to all.
