TSNZ National Championships
February 18th 2018Day 2 of the Nationals saw the TSNZ Air Rifle National Champions decided.
The men shot first, with Owen Bennett cementing his place as National Men’s Champion with a resounding win. Grant Sharman, being the only IPC entry, was only able to shoot with the men as a training match; it would be great to see more entries in the IPC National event in the future. Lachie McNair’s qualification score gained him the Junior Men’s title.
In the afternoon it was the turn of the women, and again this was a closely fought match, with the lead changing many times in the Final. Jessica Riddle picked up the pace in the second half to come out as National Women’s Champion, and also won the Junior Women’s title with her Qualification score.
Many thanks to all the helpers at the Totara Rd range, and to the shooters who coped so well with the heat. We now move on to the Turitea Rd range tomorrow, with the first outdoor event being the 3P on Monday and Prone matches starting on Tuesday.
