Challenging conditions for Tarbert competition
Tarbert Gun Club members got together for a day of competition last Sunday.
Poor daylight meant the targets were difficult to see which challenged those taking part.
The club had set up longrange clays for the sporting section which led to a lot of missed targets, a few grumps and moans, and a lot of long faces. But it was the same for everyone. Not everyone struggled. Akram Khan had a maximum on the down-theline and young Shaun Doy also shot a maximum. Craig Samborek was top gun on the difficult sporting part.
Girl shooters are showing the lads how it is done. Lynn MacDonald and Jennifer Campbell won their classes by a country mile, with firsttime shooter Courtney Smith not far behind.
Look out for the Christmas shoot coming soon. Winner gets a turkey.
