Euroa Clay Target Club

Weather Suitable for Ducks Greets Shooters on Sunday

The weather bureau predicted rain on Sunday, and it certainly rained on the competitors who turned up at the Euroa Clay Target Club’s monthly shoot on Sunday. Just 3 squads entered the events held and it was Euroa’s Andrew Jacotine and Scott Towers who dominated proceedings. Andrew won the first two championship events being the Boho Single Barrel and the Keith McKendrick Memorial Point Score. Sponsored by Paul McKendrick, the Point Score is in memory of his father and long time coach of the club. Hence the name “Coach”.

Scott Towers turned the tables in the Continental Championship defeating Andrew in the resulting shoot-off after both shot a creditable 24/25 in the qualifying round. The Euroa members certainly appreciated the visiting competitors who braved the conditions.

Excellent Shooting in the Don Barns Memorial Championship

Despite the difficult weather conditions being rather cold and very dull light, we saw some excellent shooting in both Championship events. The Point Score Championship, an annual memorial event in memory of a great clubman, Don Barns, saw Euroa’s Andrew Jacotine score a creditable 145/150 to win the event outright from Alexandra’s Fred Heinze 2 points behind.

The Double Barral Championship again saw good scores with some 5 competitors scoring the required 30/30 to qualify for the final shoot-off. Wangaratta shooter Keith Willett emerged the winner scoring a further 25 straight from St James’s Stephen Murphy, just one target behind.

Thanks to the Corsivia High Domes, we had many more smiles this month, next month should see our delivery of Green Dreams arrive.

Perfect shooting conditions for Bushranger Championship
For once the weather gods served up a lovely sunny day for Euroa Clay target Club’s annual Bushranger Double Barrel Championship on Sunday. Six squads entered the days events and it seemed all set for a great day. But no. The Gremlins struck with one of the target throwing machines deciding it wasn’t going to work causing quite a deal of working around finishing a full days shooting on just one trap. With the help and understanding of all present, we still managed to finish the program before dark only having to reduce the number of qualifying targets in the last event

The Bushranger double barrel championship saw 4 shooters score the possible 25/25 and the resulting shoot-off saw veteran Fred Heinze emerge the winner from Euroa’s Tony Rohrlach. The second championship, the Point Score didn’t require a shoot-off as Mathoura’s Scott MacKenzie scored 72/75 to win this event outright from junior shooter Mitchell Wilson on 70/75. Mitchell is a very promiosing junior shooter from the Kerang Club. Finally the handicap event was taken out in fine style by Geoff McClure who is a regular competitor from Alexandra on16/17 outlasting Manfield’s Michael Engel.
