Georgio has been sponsoring the event for a number of years and is also a very generous contributor to many of the other gun clubs in NSW.
Visiting shooters attended from Illawarra, Canberra, Bombala and Cooma.
Darren and Jan Redman had set two courses of 25 targets, each course with five stations and each station having a pair of springing teal targets.
The high gun prize for the day was based on the highest score of the 40 springing teal targets.
Oscar Mower from Cooma was in fine form to take out the juniors’ first prize over sisters Grace and Holly Gschwend, who also shot well and usually dominate their grade.
The other stand outshooter in his division was Brett Wills in C Grade.
However, the top honours went to Phil Craig, who cleared the most springing teal targets on the day to claim high gun.
Craig also won the shoot raffle, but had to settle for a meat tray after missing one of the eight targets.
The club’s meat trays are donated by Maddie and Rory from Bennys Butchery in Cobargo and always prove popular with the shooters.
The club also thanked local skeet shooter Gary Martin, who gave up his Sunday to trap on one of the springing teal stations.
The club’s next shoot will be held on March 22 from 10am.
It will be a 100-target “Grumpy” challenge.
