The DURC 50m Open took place this Sunday in DRC amidst rock-splitting sunshine and high temperatures, despite a misty start to the morning. Photos of the day are up here.

There was a decent turnout, with fifteen shooters despite the NSRA ISSF meeting in Bisley taking place that day and the ISSF World Cup in Milan starting the next day. The army team was first up and set the standard for the rest of the day, with Joe O'Donahue putting in a 582 and Ray Kane a 578. Of all the other shooters, only Sandy Wilson was able to catch them, with a 578, but Sandy lost second place to Ray Kane on countback.

Unfortunately, while there were a number of the more experienced shooters present, only a handful of our junior and novice shooters showed up, mostly due to exam pressure in the colleges, an unfortunate and uncontrollable problem for most novice smallbore shooters in DURC.




Many thanks to those who took part, our congratulations to the winners, and our appreciation to those who helped in both DURC and DRC, especially Declan Kelly for arriving so early to open up the DRC range, and PJ Harding for staying on to close up.
