We had six OCs and five members of the School shooting squad for this event – perhaps a little disappointing for the main opportunity for the School to meet us. Early on in the afternoon we had a little rain but otherwise it was fine with some wind that gave us quite a bit of trouble, particularly at 300 yards.
The Cranleigh Tankard was won by Rob Welford with a score of 97.8. The match against the School was won by the OCs.
The shooting at 500 yards was quite interesting in view of the fact that our next fixture is the Schools Veterans Competition, the most important event of all, which will involve ten shots to count at 500 yards from teams of five. The best five scores at 500 yards on 23rd June were:
R A Welford | 50.6 |
A S Elliott | 50.6 |
R C Bourne | 49.5 |
R J Pile | 49.2 |
E S Eilley | 48.4 |
Total | 246.23 |
