Mossman Prize Meeting


The Mossman Prize Meeting was held the weekend of 4-5 July 2015. A good turn up of 38 shooters (7 TR1, 5 TR2, 5 FS1, 12 FS 2 & 9 FO) enjoyed warm weather and fine conditions. 10 Ravenshoe shooters attended. The first day was 400, 600 and 500 metres and Sunday’s matches comprised 500 and 600 metres. There were some great scores recorded with quite a few possibles.
Peter Burg, competing in F Open, took out all ranges bar 2, thereby winning four range prizes, both Daily Aggregates and scored 298.28 to take out the Grand Aggregate one point over Gary Venables (297.23), with Trevor Armstrong third (295.24). Sadly, Gary is no longer a member of the Ravenshoe tribe, having moved to Cairns a short while ago.
In Target Rifle 1 Jason Kuchel came 1st at 400 & 500m with a 3rd in the Day 1 Aggregate. On Sunday he won the 600m and came 1st  in the Day 2 Aggregate and 2nd in the Grand Aggregate with a score of 247.33 – just one point behind the winner, Dudley Ford.
Kevin Chatfield came 1st at 400m, 3rd at 600m, 2nd at 500 with a 2nd in the Day 1 Aggregate and 2nd at 500m, 1st at 600m and 1st in the Day 2 Aggregate. Kathy was 3rd at 400m, 2nd at 600m, 3rd at 500m and 3rd in the Day 1 Aggregate. On Sunday she came 3rd at 500m, 2nd at 600m with a 3rd in the Day 2 Aggregate. Grand Aggregate winners in F Standard 1 were: 1st Jim Blomfield (295.21), 2nd Kevin Chatfield (293.21) & 3rd Kathy Chatfield (292.17).
A greatly improved Murray Wilson did not let the side down in F Standard 2 with a 1st at the 400m range and a third place in the Day 1 Aggregate. (He won a shoot-off with Bill Glavin from Townsville, but as it happened they were both beaten by up and coming Atherton shooter, Travis Kohn!). On Sunday he came 2nd at 600m and 2nd in the Grand Aggregate (286.21) behind Travis Kohn (293.15), with Wayne Swift 3rd (286.10).
A great effort by our Ravenshoe shooters – hopefully to be repeated at the Cairns shoot in August.
