Day 2
Good evening all,

We have now finished the first two days of Nationals. Our 3P women finished their nationals match and final this morning followed by the Benchrest South Island Championships in the afternoon. Results can be found here – Nationals Results Link

Tomorrow morning we begin with the South Island Prone Championships and the first of the three Benchrest Nationals Matches. Check your squadding here – Squadding
Alison (The Coffee Lady), and Tracey (Tracey’s Grub on Hubs) will also be present tomorrow to fuel you up with hot food and caffeine. I know I am looking forward to a nice hot coffee during the first detail… It is going to be a cold and wet day tomorrow!
As a reminder, ISSF Rule 6.2.5.1 and the COTS Range Standing Orders require that all shooters present on the mound wear appropriate hearing protection, such as ear plugs, ear muffs, or similar protective equipment. This requirement applies to all shooters, regardless of their current hearing status. Please note that removing hearing aids does not meet the requirement for hearing protection while actively shooting.
If you were shooting today without hearing protection, please ensure that you bring and wear appropriate ear protection tomorrow while on the range. Hearing protection can be purchased at Bunnings (Airport location), which is open until 7:00pm this evening and from 6:30am tomorrow morning. As this store is conveniently located near the range and there is sufficient time to obtain suitable protection before the first detail at 9am, we will be expecting full compliance tomorrow.
For safety reasons, shooters who are on the mound without appropriate hearing protection will be asked to step off until they are properly equipped.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe shooting environment for everyone.

Day 3
Good evening all,

Following some range maintenance today, we have chosen to update the squadding for Graded 1 and Graded 2, as well as the accompanying benchrest, to ensure everyone is shooting on reliable changers and with consistent lighting. The COTS Nationals Organising Committee wants all shooters to experience a great nationals and minimise any potential disruption.

Updated squadding lists have been posted on the board at the range and on the attached live link. Updated Squadding Link

The marking room found several overloads that were not reported to the range officer today. Please report any overloads or crossfires to the range officer at the time or during your next break to ensure the marking process runs smoothly.

We would like to thank the volunteers who have helped over the last few days. To ensure an event like Nationals runs smoothly, we welcome volunteers to help and learn the marking process. An open door of the marking room indicates that markers are required. We are lucky enough to have a number of exceptionally skilled markers amongst us very willing to help upskill other shooters.

Thankyou

NDC Round 1
Link for results

Dear Co-ordinators and TSNZ members,
Please find attached the results of Round 1 of NDC 2026.
There is a write up on each League.
For the 2026 season the Leagues have been named after the Cups that are presented at the end of the Season.
– The Casey Cup is named after Grant Casey, who, together with Bruce Marchant, created NDC.
A trial of the competition was held in 1997, with competition starting in earnest in 1998.
– The Marchant Cup is named after Bruce and Lois Marchant who donated the cup when the A League became too large and needed to be split into 2 divisions.
– The Henshaw Cup was donated by Russell Henshaw when the B League was created for teams that needed a fewer number of competitors.
For Round 1 of the 2026 season:
Notable Competitors:
In the Open section were bonus point scores for Roy Herbison (100.10), and Chris Harrison (200.16), Jason Cameron (200.15), and Craig Ireland (200.12).
In the Junior section, Pippa Taylor shot a pair of hundreds, (100.7 and 100.8), as did Dante Arthur (100.2 and 100.6), to gain their respective teams 2 bonus points each.
Also gaining Junior bonus points were Trot Newton (100.7), Hugo Smith (100.7), Nate Woods (100.7), Hester du Plessis (100.5), Alex Christie (100.5), and Eliza McKenzie (100.5).
295 people took part in Round 1.
From the Jaffas reserves we see the return of Juliet Etherington, a former New Zealand representative, who won 3 Commonwealth Games Medals.
Also in the Jaffa team, is Steve Petterson MNZM, who won 4 Gold and 1 Silver Commonwealth Games Medals across 5 Commonwealth Games, as well as representing NZL at 4 Olympics Games, and Sean McCabe who also represented New Zealand at the highest levels.
We are delighted to see the return of such excellent shooters who have taken life breaks, and have come back to the sport that they love. Their knowledge and enthusiasm will hopefully inspire others to return to our sport.
If there are any other former NZL reps shooting NDC please let me know and I can share their accolades.
