The South East Zone QCTA Inc. 2026 Annual Carnival has been run and won for another year.
Congratulations to all Event and High Gun Winners and safe travels to those heading home.
A good representation from across the Zone and by consequence the high guns with the exception A-Grade were attained by South East Zone Clubs.
A shout out to QCTA Western Zone's Mr. Mal Collins our Carnival Shoot Marshall for running a tight ship across the weekend. We appreciate your ability to run the shoot AND pull off an A-Grade Highgun.
Mal was ably supported by the President of Gympie Clay Target Club AND South East Zone QCTA Secretary Mr. Greg Nuske and the President of Bundaberg Clay Target Club AND Treasurer of the South East Zone QCTA, Mr. Darren Large.
With 136 Shooters in contention for the high guns and more than 140 licensed shooters competing in events across the weekend, you all contributed to one of the largest and most supported South East Zone Carnivals on the books.
The South East Zone would like to extend a thank you and appreciation to Mr. Keith Simpson, President of Toowoomba Clay Target Club for his clubs hospitality, assistance and general willingness to help in making this carnival the success that it was.
As they say, "it takes a village" and while it is great to be able to turn up and compete at these events, they don't run themselves.
My thanks to the entire support crew, from the Kitchen to the Trappers to the parents of the 17 juniors (12.5% of the attendees were Junior shooters).
Stay tuned for event photos and individual event results and thanks again for choosing to spend your weekend supporting the South East Zone QCTA and competing in our Annual Carnival.
