Around The Traps: August

The Warren Gun Club held its monthly shoot in cloudy conditions on Saturday the 8th of August. Winter weather took its toll with only 16 shooters competing over four events.

Three squads shot for trophies cash and accumulated points in a 20 Target Double Barrel, 20 Target Points Score, 25 Target Tom Wild Memorial Handicap and the challenging 20 Target Double Trap.

Warren shooter Rodney Anderson once again stamped his authority on the day taking out the days Overall High Gun Award. Rodney’s overall score included a commendable 30/40 points in the Double Trap event.

Brett Williamson was as reliable as ever with a 24 out of 25 in the handicap event. Three generations of the late Tom Wild were there to support the event although it will be a year or two before the last generation competes.

Kyle Walton who has been in great form of late drew with Steve Walker in the AA Grade High Gun score (the shooters decided to share the prize rather than go to an elimination shoot off).

Ever Improving shooter Douglas Ferguson Took out the combined B and C Grade High Gun and found time to lent his hand to the tally room to compile the scores when required.

A big thank you to the women’s committee who delivered welcome sustenance and also the Groundsmen who cut through metre-high weed to reveal the grounds and trap layouts prior to the shoot.

Several Club member’s will compete in the Cobar Two Day shoot next weekend and we wish them. Well, Go Warren.

The next Warren Gun Club shoot will take place at the club range on Saturday the 12th of September at 1pm. It’s a day of Continental events with-

25T Ball Trap
20T Point Score Continental Cash Divide
20T Single Barrel Continental
30T DB Continental Championship
25T Tom Wild Handicap

New shooters are welcome and old shooters who have dropped off a bit of late are encouraged to dust off the 12 gauge and show your support.
