There were a dozen shooters for the Cobar Clay Target Club’s monthly event on Sunday.
The weather was fantastic for the four event program with a number of club members who recently competed at the Wagga Wagga State Titles over the long weekend among Sunday’s club competitors.
Many continued their good form after winning the State trophy for the Teams Event, with the Western Zone Team.
In the opening event, the 30 Target Double Barrel, there was a tie in AA Grade with Bryan Manns (a State winner) and Peter Hosie both finishing with a possible score 30 out of 30 targets.
Sam Nardi only dropped one shot to win A Grade with a score of 29/30 while Aiden Barraclough had a possible (30/30) to claim the win in B Grade.
Darcy Manns continued his good form from Wagga Wagga winning the C Grade title at home with a good score of 28/30.
Hosie was the AA Grade outright winner in the next event, the 30 Target Single Barrel shoot, and again finished with another perfect score of 30/30.
