Results of Bank Holiday Interclub Comp

We had a great day at the Range today, with shooters from Lincoln & District RPC and Paul Lane RPC (from Huddersfield) joining us for our first Interclub Benchrest Competition.  (Paul Lane website)

The targets were the tiny UKBR22 targets, a challenge for everyone in the blustery conditions. Some of the shooters from Paul Lane had recently returned from the World UKBR Championships in America, so we knew the competition would be tough.

Congratulations to Paul Lane for winning the Team competition

• Paul Lane 1493 - out of 1500 max
• RSC         1480
• L&D         1460

The Top Shooter was Alan Lomax from Paul Lane with 499 out of a 500 maximum

The top shooter from RSC was Janet, with 495 (in 4th place)

and Carl from L&D, with 491 (in 9th place)
