Report

DURC sent a moderate contingent to the UCD Air Rifle Open this weekend. This is the first Air Rifle competition of the season that we can get large numbers of people to, owing to the nearby location of UCD. We had ten people attend in total, breaking down to five experienced shooters and five novices, a reasonable demographic.

Steven, Mark, Peter and Adrian all shot personal bests, and secured prizes. Mark, at 550, is now set to enter class A after the next competition. Nithin, Dave, Colman and Ljiljana all shot very well for their first competition, especially considering that they had only had two or three half-hour details of shooting prior to the competition.

The next competition will be the Co. Wicklow Open in Rathdrum on November 4, and DURC will be sending another squad to attend.
