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 1^st at 400 & 500m with a 3^rd in the Day 1 Aggregate. On Sunday he won the 600m and came 1^st  in the Day 2 Aggregate and 2^nd in the Grand Aggregate with a score of 247.33 – just one point behind the winner, Dudley Ford.

Kevin Chatfield came 1^st at 400m, 3^rd at 600m, 2^nd at 500 with a 2^nd in the Day 1 Aggregate and 2^nd at 500m, 1^st at 600m and 1^st in the Day 2 Aggregate. Kathy was 3^rd at 400m, 2^nd at 600m, 3^rd at 500m and 3^rd in the Day 1 Aggregate. On Sunday she came 3^rd at 500m, 2^nd at 600m with a 3^rd in the Day 2 Aggregate. Grand Aggregate winners in F Standard 1 were: 1^st Jim Blomfield (295.21), 2^nd Kevin Chatfield (293.21) & 3^rd Kathy Chatfield (292.17).

A greatly improved Murray Wilson did not let the side down in F Standard 2 with a 1^st 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 2^nd at 600m and 2^nd in the Grand Aggregate (286.21) behind Travis Kohn (293.15), with Wayne Swift 3^rd (286.10).

A great effort by our Ravenshoe shooters – hopefully to be repeated at the Cairns shoot in August.
