Sporting Winter Series 2017/18

The 11th Feb saw the last of our winter series, which gives way, rather optimistically to the Spring series, lets hope the weather warms up to reflect that changing season.

As usual there were 6 counting shoots for this series, for the high gun competition, a competitor counts their best 5 scores – and from that total a ranking is established. For the handicap competition, the number of hits on each shoot is added the competitor’s handicap number, and a ranking is produced each shoot. These positions are then totalled, and the worst finishing position discarded, to produce a series points total. The competitor with the lowest points score is the winner.

Winter 17/18 High Gun & Club Classes

Some excellent shooting from Lee Pitman once again saw him top the leaderboard in the High Gun competition scoring a counting total of 454. Some excellent scores with great consistancy helped him to a 37 hit lead over 2nd place, counting 95,96,95,85,83. Iain Hall was 2nd place, 417, followed very very closely by Ollie Hughes, Mark Whillier and Leon Clifton, who were tied on 416, just a single hit away from 2nd.
