NTSA PR60 at ECSC on 23/05/10 - Results

E-mail Print
The third NTSA Prone match at East Coast Shooting Club was another great success with 22 members competing. The conditions were extremely difficult - especially on the later details  - with a number of competitors having to pull out. Temperatures reached the mid to high twenties and light conditions became so bad that some competitors reported losing the target in the harsh light. Gary Duff of Comber Rifle Club won the match with a 592 followed by Sandy Wilson of East Coast Shooting Club on 582 and Sam Kelly of Dungannon Rifle and Pistol Club with a 581.

The Committee of the NTSA and indeed all the competitors would like to express their thanks to East Coast Shooting Club for hosting the competition and their members for their patience during detail changes. Special thanks to Rathdrum Rifle and Pistol Club for the loan of the targets and for logistical support on the day.

E-mail Print

The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of May saw the National Indoor Championships held in Rathdrum Rifle and Pistol Club.  The 3P event was held on the Saturday with the prone event on Sunday. Entries were up for the 3P event but perhaps due to the bank holiday and other factors, entries for the prone event were slightly down on previous years.

There were six entries for the 3P event and after the 20 prone shots Richard Stapleton of Wilkinstown Target Shooting Club (WTSC) was in the lead but the field from 1st to 6th was only separated by 4 points. During the 20 standing shots, Ray Kane of the Defence Forces Shooting Team (DFST); who had already won the Men's Air Rifle title last month, moved into the lead which he held to the end, eventually finishing 5 points ahead of Richard with Terry Wearen of DFST in 3rd place.

Called 'Top Gun', the format was run in the form of a President's prize featuring twenty of the top Air Pistol shooters in Europe; both Men and Women. A high level of spectator involvement was encouraged including supplying the assembled crowd with all kinds of noise making devices and loud music playing on the PA system during shooting. In addition, the shooters were all fitted with heart rate monitors which added a further dimension to the the competition.
