First leg of Tarbert Gun Club’s winter season completed
LApT punday saw Tarbert Gun Club hold its first leg of the popular winter league team series of competitions.
tith 48 shooters in teams of five, the club had set up a mixture of targets for them to test their skills against. The long crosser proved to be the downfall of many shooters. John teir in particular was enjoying a good day of scoring until the crosser.
The DTL section saw high scoringI with Andrew MacDonald hitting a maximun O5 claysI but the crosser cost him top spotI and Ally McDonnell suffered the same fate.
Bob McColl and Brian Baird were the only two to master the crosserI and it gave Bob the high gun for the day.
One of the captains of a team this year is a MacDonald – not kormanI but his daughter Lynn. Her teamI thoughI was handicapped as one member failed to turn up. ptillI the team managed to finish in the top four.
