Another busy day at MGC on Saturday kicked off with a chilly foggy morning and a full house for Come & Try with all enjoying their session. Again thank you to our crew who look after Come & Try which is vitally important to our club as it introduces new people to the sport.
8 squads of DTL battled it out for the 100tgt Point Score event, and 6 squads for the 100tgt ISSF Trap event with the Shooting Australia camp athletes joining in on the action.
In the DTL it was Greg Hunt who got off to a flyer shooting the first 50 all clean single barrel and as the day went on the temperature began to drop and the light got super difficult to see. Greg though held on for a great 294/300 to take the overall honours.

O/A: G Hunt 294/300;
AA: C McCall 291/300, J Barclay 290/300;

B: B Tridgell 277/300, G Tunks 275/300;
C: M Incani 230/300, B Battle 227/300.
On the Trench layouts the light conditions were also making the day tricky but James Willett fresh off his World Cup win showed why he is rated one of the World's best with a hard fought 95/100 and a fantastic 44/50 single barrel in cold dark conditions for the final. Penny Smith taking it right to him with an excellent 43/50.
