Cochrane, Maddison Jones, Harry Murphy, Rueben Collett and Elizabeth
Weatherly competed in Timaru in the weekend in perfect shooting conditions.

Results:

- Harry Murphy 2nd Single Rise
- Maddison Jones 1 st Single Barrell (ladies)
- Maddison Jones 3 rd Point Score (ladies)
- Clark Ewing High Overall Score for the day
- Cark Ewing 1 st Points Score
- Clark Ewing 3 rd Single Rise
- Clark Ewing 3 Single Barrell

Rueben Collett gained his National Clay Target Association (NZCTA) 50 badge by shooting 50 targets without a miss in a row .

The team also took part in the Kilwell Trophy National Postal shoot. This is a NZ Competition held by Squads sending in their scores run at nominated events around the country. The team achieved 192 points out of a possible 225.

As part of the National Postal Shoot Clark shot 258 targets in a row without a
miss. As well as qualifying for another NZCTA 200 badge, his score will go
through to the NZCTA and results will be announced at the National Secondary Schools Clay Target competition in Christchurch in September. With a score like this we are hopeful for another successful outcome. Last year he won the event on a score of 197 while gaining his first 200 badge by shooting additional targets earlier in the day.
