Well done to the Waikato school teams competing in this weekends Secondary Schools match.
Congratulations to Chelsea Bau who made the NZ team to shoot today.

A small but very sociable group of shooters turned up for the Tauranga Open yesterday, with some travelling from Auckland and one from Taranaki.
A PB for Eva from the Tauranga club and some excellent 100's shot. Well done.
Unfortunately this match clashes with the Secondary schools match which takes away some of our usual participants.

A few Waikato shooters braved the Auckland weather yesterday and went to the Waitakere Open.
Congratulations to Gary Olivier on shooting his first 100. Well done.
Ivor came second in A grade to a returning-to-form Sean McCabe, with Alan placing third.
Caleb won C Grade and Gary won D grade.
See you next weekend in Tauranga.

The annual match between Taranaki and Waikato was held yesterday in a slightly different format as it was decided that travelling to Inglewood this year wouldn't be a very good option.
The match however was shot in two separate venues and with the use of technology, the scores were entered as completed.
Because of the differing sizes of each team an average of the shooters scores was used to decide the outcome. This gives everyone a chance to participate and made for a very close result.
Well done Taranaki for fielding a very large contingent of shooters especially in C and D grade. Whatever you are doing there to enlist shooters; it is certainly working.

Congratulations to Ann, Roy, Dave and Gavin for making the NZ teams to shoot on Sunday.

This weekend is the annual TSNZ North Island vs. the South Island being held at the Howick range in Auckland hosted by Waikato and Auckland associations together.
Congratulations to these Waikato shooters who are shooting in teams this weekend.
