The Oshawa Skeet and Gun club return to competitive skeet shooting was a outstanding success, with 39 shooters competing out of a possible field of 40 positions.
The morning flight started under foggy, but with still conditions with the flight starting at 09:30. The fog cleared for the 4th round.
The leaders after the first 100 were Dan Morris with the only 100 straight closely followed by Bill Zager with a 99.
After a lunch break the second 100 targets were started at 13:00. Under clear and warm conditions, with a slight breeze, Dan Morris again was successful at running another 100 straight, closely followed by Bill Zager with a 98, to end up with a 200 straight, followed by a 197. Congratulations to both; great shooting! Of course other shooters had excellent score and some not so much!
Shoots-off were conducted and results posted below, (see Skeet Review for complete scores).
Following shoot-offs, a handy-cap shoot-off was attend by a large number of shooters for a $500.00 gift certificate thanks to Jerry Gagnon of Gagnon Sports, Oshawa. Two lucky winners happily went home with a $300 and $200 gift for new guns or whatever!
Following the shoot-offs, a steak dinner was served and enjoyed by all, thanks to Patty, Julie and Anne-Marie.
A great job was done by Bob Cake and Dan Hardin, along with their capable crew of referees, trap personnel and other helpers.
