Christmas Shoot December 2014

Hams and Turkeys at Wangaratta

A warm and fine day prevailed at the Wangaratta Clay Target Club Xmas shoot on Saturday 20 December.  A nice crowd of 46 shooters came along to our popular club to enjoy a relaxed day of novelty events in a festive atmosphere. 

 The club opened all three layouts for shooters to try out and some good scores were achieved by some in a different discipline than they would normally participate in.  As usual, the hams and turkeys proved very popular again as trophies.  A relaxed BBQ was held at the end of the day giving all present a chance to have a chin wag and wish each other the best for the festive season.  Thanks to Gordon Twamley for providing two sides of lamb for the raffle.

The 25 T D/B results were:  AA, Rod. Wilson 25/25,  Jason Wilson 25/25.  A,  Stephen Murphy 25/25,  Christian McGauran 32/33.  B,  Ern Wemyss 25/25,  Neville Bussell 24/25.  C,  Brad Carey 22/25,  Rhys McGauran 26/30.
