Top gun Jackel wines zone shoot

 

A superb autumn day attracted some top shots at the Wangaratta Clay Target Clubs VCTA North East Zone Skeet Championship on Sunday 27th April. The Wangaratta venue holds this significant event on an annual basis and always attracts the best shooters from our region. The days events combine both singles and doubles skeet championships which adds a different dimension to our normal skeet shoots held here on a regular basis.

 

The 50 target N.E Zone Singles Skeet event was nicely won by local talented AA grade skeet shooter David Jackel shooting 67/69. Gil Farish from Benalla using his 20 gauge gun shot 47/50 taking out 2nd in this grade. Trevor Jones performed extremely well in A grade with a result of 52/55 ahead of Shepparton shooter Colin Finn on 63/66. Mark Rosenboom visiting from Griffith had a nice win in B grade with 66/69 and Trevor Bussell shot 44/50 in 2nd place. After a shoot off between father and son Rick and Callum Palmer, Rick took out C grade with a tally of 55/58 ahead of Callum on 54/58.

 

The action really heated up for the 25 pair skeet doubles event, highlighting the skills of the top shooters on the day. Gil Farish dropped only two targets to win AA and overall with 52/54 followed closely by David Jackel on 51/54. Colin Finn shot another amazing doubles score of 52/54 to win A grade and Mark McDonald also put in a top effort of 50/54 taking out 2nd. Griffith visitor Mark Rosenboom won B grade again on 45/50 and local club shooter Bram Schmarling finished 2nd with 42/50. Again, Rick Palmer managed to outshoot his son Callum with a score of 47/50 by 5 targets.
