Broken Hill Field & Game Association

On Sunday 1 November the Broken Hill Field and Game Association conducted a 75 target Sporting Clays Graded Championship. The shoot was generously sponsored by Western Auto Electrical, a valued supporter of the club for many years. The day was sunny, clear and warm with enough breeze to keep the flies away. Organisers were pleased with the attendance of 22 shooters.

The range was set by Josh and his reliable crew of helpers who once again did an excellent job to present a very good variety of targets. Most of the targets were quite shootable with enough harder targets in the mix to provide a challenge for the better shots. Good scores were available in all grades for shooters who could maintain their concentration.

The best score off the gun was an excellent total of 68 that was shared by Travis Casey and Clay Johnston. A shoot off was required to decide the winner and Travis managed to sneak home for first place and won the High Gun Medal and the Ian West Memorial Trophy. Clay won AA Grade while Anthony Elliott, Brett Howe and Rodney Hastwell won A, B and C Grades respectively.

The prizewinners are as follows.
​

Travis Casey; 22, 24, 22 - 68

On 10 and 11 October the Broken Hill Field and Game Association hosted its premier sporting clays target shoot for the year, the 41st annual 150 target Silver City Championships. The weather was warm and clear on both days with enough breeze to keep the flies away, very good conditions for shooting clay targets. Organisers were pleased with the attendance of 60 shooters.

The shooters competed for an excellent range of sashes and trophies thanks to the generosity of our sponsors; Barker Electrical Services, Bolton's Precision Engineering, Broken Hill Bank and the Claypan Penguins.

Range marshal Josh Edgecumbe, with plenty of assistance, worked very hard to set a range layout that provided plenty of variety and good fun. The targets were a tad on the easy side of average which made for very good shooting.

The best overall score for the shoot was an excellent total of 135 recorded by Greg “Mocka” McSwain from Sunraysia. Mocka is a regular and popular visitor to Broken Hill, he won his first Silver City Shield way back in 2003, and at this shoot won his third Silver City Shield High Gun sash.

The best Broken Hill shooters were Clay Johnston in AA Grade, Gary Meehan in B Grade and Brian Casey in Seniors Grade who all finished in first place, and Travis Casey in A Grade, Peter H***e in C Grade and Cassie Hibberd in Ladies Grade who all finished in second place.

The Claypan Penguins handicap team championship was won by the “The Mexicans” team comprising Brett McManus, Barry Wentworth, Paul Wentworth and Gary O’Brien, who shot a score of 657 to finish just a couple of points clear of their nearest rival.

On Sunday 30 August the Broken Hill Field and Game Association conducted a 75 target sporting clays handicap championship shoot. The shoot was generously sponsored by Lindsay Pearce from LTP Refrigeration, Electrical and Air Conditioning. The weather was mild, clear and sunny, perfect conditions for shooting clay targets. After a very busy month of travelling and shooting for our members, organisers were pleased with an attendance of 23 shooters.

The range was set by Gary, Grant and Tim who did an excellent job to present a very good selection of targets that were a pleasure to shoot. There were some hard targets, some easy targets, some tricky targets, and all great fun to shoot. Scores were just a bit below average, maybe it was the rabbits.

The best score off the gun was a very good total of 62 that was shot by Clay Johnston who won the High Gun Medal and trophy with a few targets up his sleeve at the finish. The best handicap total for the shoot was a very impressive 83 shot by B Grade winner Rod Grenfell representing the Milparinka Club.
