After combing through results from the last club championship round one thing is clear, the level of competition is heating up at the Loxton Rifle Club!
Starting with the Short Range we saw a triple possible from both Rick & Jason Gibbs in Sporter Production as well as a possible at 500 yards from Ray Pash in FSB.
Center pins came from Chris Aggeletos and Ray Pash at 300 yards as well as Malcolm Hill at 400 yards.
Moving to the Long range where we saw possibles at 800 yards from Jason Gibbs in SP and Malcolm Hill in FSA, with a 223 no less! Well done Malcolm.
Centre pins were also recorded at 800 yards by Rick Gibbs in FO and Reece Pash in FTR.
The following weekend Both Reece and Jason travelled to Kapunda Rifle Club to compete in the Tikka Cup Sponsored by Beretta Australia.
The boys put on an absolute master class in Sporter Production with the pair taking out 3 of the 4 range wins as well as the aggregate and top Tikka rifle!
The conditions were quite calm at 300 & 500 yards, however, in true Kapunda fashion 700 yards was a challenge. Unfortunately Reece recorded a 0 due to accidental discharge. To Reece's credit, he shrugged off the set back, pulled his socks up and smashed out a commanding 50.5 in challenging conditions to win the range and salvage 7th from 17 shooters overall, well done mate!
Results were,
300y, 1st Jason 50.9 - 3rd Reece 50.7
500y, 1st Jason 50.10 - 10th Reece 49.3
700y, 7th Jason 48.4 - 15th Reece 44.2 tough range boys
700y, 1st Reece 50.5 - 2nd Jason 50.3
Grand Agg, 1st Jason 198.26 - 7th Reece 193.17
