The ever improving Sharon Drysdale claimed the June Monthly Handicap which was shot a week earlier due to the following week being Mad Sunday. Drysdale’s series were very consistent and she continues to improve with each competition. Mike Duncalf’s 591 gave him second position once his handicap had been added and junior shooter Alex Trafford, shot extremely well in third.

Junior 50 metre Grand Prix Round 2
Following his third slot in the Monthly Handicap, Alex Trafford also took the win in the Junior 50 metre Grand Prix. Special mention must go to a very determined junior shooter, fourteen year old Rhys Keown, who shot a personal best decimal score in this event 98.9, 96.5, 97.2, 94.0, 93.8, 91.0 = 571.4 which converts to a standard score of 543, a little below his PB in the normal scoring system.

1 - Alex Trafford 95, 94, 97, 95, 97, 97 = 575
2 - Rhys Keown 95, 92, 92, 89, 89, 86 = 543

Osborn Carpets First 600 – round 6
An excellent decimal of 615.0 gave Ben Kelly a significant win from Tom Lord on 610.6 in this week’s Osborn Carpets first 600 round 6. Although in second place, Lords score once again showed superior shooting for a veteran. Mike Duncalf managed third slot, prior to leaving the Island for a match at Bisley along with Tracey Skelton and Gemma Kermode – good luck to all. It appears that the TT practices had an impact on entries for this week’s matches as just 14 managed to start the competition but it was good to see Ashley Gardner on the line as his work has in past weeks prevented his entry.

Sadler Junior Championship – Round 6
