A very blustery day made for difficult shooting today at our 100 OT shoot. We experimented today with a pre entry and the first two squads shooting through in the morning with the second two squads starting just after 2 pm and shooting through. Fair to say not everyone likes the system, Thatch generally shoots better later in the day and that showed with much better scores from the last two squads. We will have a think about future shoots, let us have your views.
Thanks to all for your support, results in the pictures.

We had four full squads for today's 100OT shoot, with just one layout it makes for a long day, a few asked if we could run like we do the ABT with prebook first two squads and they shoot through followed by 2 squads in the afternoon, might suit those travelling a bit. We will have a think about this for our next shoot.
Meantime back to today, Tony Young set the pace on squad 1 with 86, then Scott Magill with 88 took the lead of squad two, Kirsty Hegarty making a comeback? Was top squad 3 with 87, and Nick McCarthy topped squad 4 with 88. A nice 84 from young Ben Colton to win "D" class. Thanks to all for your support and patience today, results in the photos.
