Day 3 Results

February 24th 2017

Day 3 at the Outdoor Nationals started with the Women and Juniors ISSF match.  Some great scores were shot in this match, with 4 shooters gaining Commonwealth Games qualifying scores - congratulations to Sally Johnston, Jenna Mackenzie, Denva Wren, and Janet Hunt for those.  In the Womens Match Sally won Gold, Jenna Silver and Denva Bronze, also congratulations to Jess Burgess-Smith for winning the Junior Match.


Next up were the Men in their ISSF Elimination Match.  There were 30 men entered, and so for the first time in a few years this match was needed to cut the field to 20 for the ISSF Qualification Match.  The top 10 from each squad of 15 went through, and well done to Martin Hunt for his Commonwealth Games qualifying score.

Lastly the fun part of the day - the Association Teams match.  8 teams of 3 toughed it out, and with them having to shoot 20 shots each without scopes by relying on wind coaches from their other team members, it certainly was entertaining. There were more people waiting for these scores than any other so far!

Inter-Island and NZ Teams were announced today also - with selection being based on an aggregate of the 2 Graded Matches plus the ISSF Match.  CONGRATULATIONS to all those shooters who made the teams, especially those for whom it is the first time representing NZ.
