Cambridgeshire DTL 25th and 26th of June Cambridge Gun Club
This was the long awaited opening of the new DTL ranges and what better way to start than to hold the Cambridgeshire DTL Championship.
The Championship was held over 2 days, as when it was applied for, only 2 ranges were available. But little did we know what things were to happen in the following months. The work did mean that the original ranges had to close down for a fairly long period, mostly as the weather made it impossible to do the construction on the sodden soil. But it was worth the wait and in the near future all the ranges will be covered as well.
Over two days of shooting our top man was Steve Janes from Bedfordshire with a 99/293 when I say our top man he was The High gun of the weekend, in fact I shot on his squad and he did look impressive.
On the last squad of the day was a very impressive Steve Kirby, who came in with a 96/284. When I say impressive, this was as the wind had got up and was pushing the targets low to the right that made this shoot not for the faint hearted. This was the same score from another Cambs shooter, Tim Jones, that had shot much earlier in the day only Tim had the 97 version but never the less a shoot off was to be run.
The shoot off proved to be just up the street for Steve and he is now Cambridgeshire DTL Champion 2016. Tim took The Vets trophy and B class so not a bad day for him as well.
So this is how it looked on the leader board.
