Long rifle big bore open sight club champs – 22 October 2022
What a great turnout we had for the last big bore open sight shoot of the year. It seems the shooters were not put off by the looming rain with ten shooters pitching up to participate, including a couple of first-timers.
Douglas was on target with his head shots and managed to sneak past Jacques to take the winner of the day title. With a strange coincidence the smallest target, the springbok, took the most headshots with 6 out of 10 while the biggest, the zebra, had none. It seems our biltong hunters are not used to lining up on a Zebra.
Reg brought his gas braaier and some delicious rooibok wors as a treat while the braaimaster Dawie made sure it got braaied to perfection. It was again a fun shoot with lekker rooiwors hotdogs and lots of networking afterwards. Poor Dirk especially had to provide a lot of health related advise to the old toppies at the shoot.
Please find the results for the LG OS 5 event below:
With this being the last shoot of the year the annual honors for open sight club champ was taken by Dawie who with some consistent shootings beat out Reg and John. The annual winner is determined by adding the best three scores for the year.
| Year Rank | Shoots Attended | Score (best 3) | |
| 1st | Dawie Meintjes | 4 | 183 |
| 2nd | Reg Ellerbeck | 5 | 155 |
| 3rd | John Rutherfoord-Jones | 5 | 137 |
We encourage all of you with an open sight rifle at home to come and join us next year for a fun day of not so serious shooting.
