The Clifton Benchest Shooters held their June shoot on Sunday and the event was keenly contested after club members missed two monthly events.
The April date clashed with Easter Sunday and like so many other events the May competition was washed out.
Helen Manteit walked away with the Ladies’ Open Rimfire, Centrefire and Smallest Group awards with scores of 556.7, .3556 and .227 respectively.
Ashleigh Brown with a score of 533.8 finished in second place in the Rimfire event and Margaret Sullivan (493.3) third.
Gary Manteit shot well throughout the day and reaped the rewards winning the Men’s Open Rimfire with a score 582.18.
He also had wins in the three Best Cards of the Day: Hunter Class (198.10/200.20), RBA (235.4/250.25) and Rabbit and Crow (149.4/150.15).
Manteit also took out second place in Centrefire with a score of .3608 and 3rd was Luke Steffen, scoring .6436.
Honours in the Men’s Rimfire went to Jason Edwards (57.14) ahead of Luke Steffen (560.13).
Wrapping up a big day in the Junior Rimfire, Amelia Steffen (541.11) had a win ahead of Mia Edwards (508.4) and Chevy Cooley (506.3).
Senior members of the club encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by their younger counterparts and say it augers well for the future of the Club.
The club’s next competition shoot is scheduled for Sunday 17 July.
