etshoot draws large crowd
BY B111;1McMcNutt
The Mitchell ►,l~ iah and
Game Club was the site of
a large team^ skeet shoot,
Sunday, which drew
shooters from London to
Goderich. Seven teams -
part ic,iriated
eams-part,ic:pated in the.
• blistering heat as a large
crowd. .of spectators
watched:
The shoot, which has
come to be an annual
event at . the club, has
grown from only three
teams in four years. This
shows the interest which
is growing steadily in
organized shooting.
The number of club
members is up for many
reasons. Many people
have joined to put their
support behind groups
fighting for our right to
own firearms, others, to
get away from "things"
for a while every week or
because their friend or
neighbours talked them
into trying the sport.
Whatever the reason,
the important thing is
that they did join and
have discovered that
shotgun shooting is fun.
Whether it be trap or
skeet, they have found
enjoyment in their
regular shoots and
special fun in these shoots
where they 1visit other
clubs •to meet new
friends.
Many other people
have discovered that
'their fears of shotguns
were unfounded. Today's
guns and loads when
properly matched - to the
shooter are a joy to shoot.
.
-. Although some guns do
"kick" badly - usually
• single shots most do not,
so once their equipment
is properly matched the
fun begins. •
Not even handicaps
should deter people
wanting to shoot. I know
several good shots who
have only one eye,
another shooter who has
only one arm and one who
shoots from a wheelchair.
Weight and build make
no difference. Children
only 8 or 9 years have
become surprisingly good
shots. One lady shooter ,
from Oshawa, weighs a
scant 100 pounds and
regularly shoots -400
targets a weekend.
Another man who -weighs
over 300 pounds is a top
notch shooter.
There are also a large
number of shooters who
have had heart attacks
shooting so as you can see
anyone. can . shoot and.
enjoy the competitions
just like the people at
Mitchell.'
In Sunday's shoot each
team member shooter
shot 50 targets to give the
team a total of,250,
This year's .shoot,
which included tsvo te4rns
from the Claybirdgun
club, two , from the
Goderich gun club and
one each from Kippen,
Mitchell and London, was
the closest yet.
When the first rounds
were over - 125 targets -
there were only five
targets separating the top
four teams. The Goderich
number 1 team was
leading with 109, London
was second with 106,
Mitchell followed with 105
and the Claybird number
1 team was fourth with
104. ,
At that point it was
evident that anyone could
win, ' The Claybird
number 1 team upped
their score by two. The
Goderich number 1 team
got off to a bad start but
held on to get a 108.
London came up with
the best round of the day -
114 = to get a good lead
which Mitchell couldn't
catch even though they
beat their first round b.y
four targets.

• A lot .of credit should be
given to the Kippen team
as they showed 'a .lot of •
sportsmanship in par-
ticipating. Kippen is a
trap shooting club and
their shooters have shot
very little skeet and I
congratulate them for
their efforts.
