All in all, I think it went off well. We had 17 shooters. I think everyone enjoyed the relaxed type of shoot.
Nice to see George and Hanti old club members, and the whole family shooting with us, almost filled a whole squad by themselves. But that’s the place to learn to shoot, a club shoot more relaxed and not so fast and complicated. And get coaching lessons as we go along.
Standards as usual from 40m till 7 meters. Thanks John he had his compressor there, so our targets were whippy at 6 bar. No chance of filling in. There were some slotted targets.
Very few have shot a walk and draw shoot. Start cocked and locked at 50m. Then get the command WALK. And at approx. 40m targets turn and you draw and fire the exercise. Straighten the line and then the command WALK. At approx. 30 m targets turn you draw and fire. This continues till 7m.
Runner was shot from 10m and 25m. unfortunately the runner did not run again, so it was a stationary shoot. 6 shots per string.
The guillotine shoots. I believe Anso had a blistering run and flattened everything, so fast that the one target ran away. We had to get it back and give her a re-run.
We started at 12, which is nice, finished at about 3, then lekker huge hotdogs and beer, amper soos Octoberfest. Just needed an Ompa band. Thanks, Anso and Clive, love getting a bite to eat after shooting.
As usual it’s an old man’s shoot. you had to be a veteran or over 50 to win the shoot. The youngsters were happy with that. (They had no choice). But they are very welcome to shoot with us. They featured in the results but did not count. See results Practiscore.
As usual Johan Seyffert won the shoot, he always supports this shoot and wins it most of the time. BUT he is still a spring chicken.
So, the winner of the day was George Du Plessis. An old member and an old shooter, what a comeback. Mooi so George. Followed by Lucas then Mark Reeder
Everyone thought this was a great shoot and it must be done more often.
