Final Day

There was one shoot on the final day - the NZ Teams.  There was only one squad needed, so the slightly later start of 9am was appreciated by many.  The wind was still a bit tricky, but at least the drizzle held off until after the match.  There were some solid scores posted, but we won't know how we've done in the International matches until the overseas shooters complete their shooting later in the year.  (Note that Slazenger results have now been correctly sorted into shooter selection order rather than score order).  Keep an eye on the NEWS for those results when they're available.  There were 4 lucky shooters tagged for testing by Drug-Free Sport NZ after the match, and our thanks go to NZDA for the use of their excellent clubrooms for this.

The Nationals finished up with the usual team photographs and presentations, and a great lunch at the Macleans Island Golf Club.  A special presentation of a Gold Merit Award was also made to Elizabeth Taylor. 

Many thanks to everyone who made the Nationals possible, and who helped out in so many ways.  

The shortened programme was new this year, and TSNZ wants your feedback on it.  We want to hear from those who attended, but also from those who didn't, so we can find out why people didn't come.  There will be a feedback form on the website by the end of the week so everyone can have their (hopefully constructive) say.

The venue for the 2018 Outdoor Nationals is not confirmed yet -  Manawatu have shown some interest, but as they hosted last year and also ran this year's Air Rifle Nationals, no doubt they'd be pleased if there are others in the North Island who would like to give it a go.  Get in touch with the office if your Association is keen.
