WINGHAM Rifle Club’s championship round was shot at the 800-meter distance in excellent conditions. There was a consistent right to left breeze, some cloud cover and little mirage to contend with. As expected, the good conditions were reflected in overall high scores across all grades and disciplines. Craig Laurie shot two good stages to nudge out his wife Suzi and take home the win in F standard B-grade with a total of 107 and four centres. Andrew Geary was too good for Max Purnell in target rifle B-grade while Tony Galati shot two excellent stages in F standard A-grade over Robert Bartlett. Christina Adams for the second consecutive week posted the highest off gun score across the F class divisions and grades with two consistent stages of 57 with two centres and 57 to complete the day with a tally of 114 and 2 centres. Adams also took home the trophy for the handicap event of the afternoon. Next week shooters move to the 800 yard range. Full scores were: F open Christina Adams 114.2; F standard A-grade Tony Galati 113.7, Robert Bartlett 111.5, B-grade Craig Laurie 107.4, Suzi Laurie 105.5, Duncan Robinson 105.3, Ronan Moon 102.4. Target Rifle A-grade: Tony Moon 96.10; B-grade Andrew Geary 96.8, Max Purnell 95.5, C-grade Gordon Higgins 86.2.
