OURC Win The Chancellor’s Challenge Plate!

Posted on

I’m happy to report excellent news from The Imperial Meeting in Bisley. We have won the Chancellor’s cup for the first time since 2005. Usually OURC stumbles at 300 yards, this year we managed to break that old habit and got off to an excellent start.

We kept up the momentum at 500 and 600 where the wind started to pick up leading to some bold wind calls by our coaches. Wind coaches had to perform as well as the shooters given the quality of the shooting.

We lost a few points at 500 and 600 but managed to score a higher than Cambridge at each distance. Total scores were 1141.99 to OURC and 1111.91 to Cambridge. An excellent match, and an excellent days shooting was had by all!

Special congratulations should be given to Andrew Brooker who top shot with 148.15, including a 50.9 at 600. Well done to Geogina Izzard, Henry Lee and Michael Horrell who all earned their half blues in this excellent shoot.
