Murray Bridge Rifle Club Report - Championship 800m

Rob Paech trying out his F Class Rifle @ 800m
On Saturday the 21st of January, the Murray Bridge Rifle Club contested the 15th stage of the Club Championship over 800m at Monarto.
The hot weather did not bring with it easy conditions. Shooters found continual difficulty with the right wind as it did not stay the same for consecutive shots.
Gordon Harrison was top off-rifle for the day and the winner in A Grade with a low score of 92.4.
Harrison’s score also gave him the handicap win for the afternoon though his score of 109 was a long way off the limit of 120.
Mark Whittle was the winner in B Grade with 85.5.
John Elson continued his winning run in C Grade with 69.0.
Surprisingly the F Class shooters also found the conditions difficult, because when they looked down their scopes all they could see was a blur with the mirage moving continuously.
Terry Brown was the winner in F Class Standard “A” with a consistent 105.3.
Jim Caspers was the clear winner in F Class Standard “B” with 96.3.
Ian Pavy was the winner in F Class Open with 112.5 including an outstanding 58.4 in his first round.
The sighters’ awards were won by Robert Paech in full-bore with 18.1, Brown in F Class with 19.1 and Pavy in F Class Open with 18.0.
All shooters at some time during their shoot scored a magpie (3) or even worse a two. So the awards were hotly contested. The winners were John Cadd in full-bore with six and David Kosewicz in F Class with three.
