Clay Target Shooting Report 

Murray Luke Memorial Shoot


Two PNBHS Clay Target Shooting teams attended the Murray Luke Memorial Shoot in Taupo yesterday – our traditional ‘kick start’ to the season. It is the biggest shoot we attend other than the North Islands and Nationals. The A team were a little off the pace initially in the Single Rise event but by the time they stepped up for the team event ( the Points Score – scored as 3 points per target, not the usual 1 ) they were ‘seeing them like pumpkins’. They posted a 294 / 300 - their best team score of the last three years, to win by 11 points. The B team also did well finishing in fourth place.

We also had three individuals place in the top five with Keegan Swarbrick placing 2nd, Tate Ferguson 3rd and Max Edwards 5th. All in all a very pleasing day.
