Boorowa Gun Club Monthly Competition Results

Boorowa Gun Club’s last winter competition of 2024 was enjoyed on a balmy, yet blustery day, on Saturday, August 24.

With a good roll up of competitors and three layouts in operation, the scene was set for an exciting day of competition.

The program began with the 25 target Club handicap.

Windy conditions kept the red off the board although three shooters did manage a 24/24 so it was a three-way shoot off for first, second and third place.

Jeff Nash won the shoot off with a score of 9/9 to take first.

Chris Oehm took second place with a shoot off score of 8/9 and Alannah Jarvis came third with a score of 2/3.

The second event of the day was the 75 target South West Shooting Supplies (SWSS) sponsored Point Score Championship.

Boorowa Gun Club offered a big thank you to SWSS for their ongoing sponsorship of the event.

The overall winner of the Point score event was Mark Skinner from Majura Park Gun Club with a score of 220/225.

First in AA Grade was Justin Smith from Boorowa with 220/225 and Tracey Barton-Stringer took second with 216/250.

A Grade was won by Caleb Stringer with a score of 207/225 and second, with a score of 202/225 went to Alannah Jarvis from Majura Park Gun Club.

Gregory Madill took out B Grade with a 204/225.

Second place in B Grade had to be decided by a shoot off between Eddie Cummings and Ben Kelly who tied on 186/225.

Eddie took out the shoot off with a score of 12/12.

The C Grade winner was Floyd Cummings with a score of 194/225 and second was John Jasnos with a 177/225.

The overall High Gun was tied between Justin Smith and Mark Skinner, both scoring 242/250 for the day.

Justin elected not to contest the High Gun, leaving Mark the overall High Gun for the day.

Jeff Nash won the Veterans High Gun for the day for the second month in a row, with a score of 236/250.

The Ladies High Gun was won by Tracey Barton-Stringer with a score of 239/250.
