41 ISSUE 60 JUNE 2021 DAY 2 The Sunday is always a challenge, the Classic Rifle match, where the sights are limited to a vee rear sight and a post fore sight. For new shooters, and some old, this one is often too much of an ask as it is so easy to lose one's way. One reason for this is there is not much target area to see any shots that have fallen off-target in order to make a correction. Much like shooting at a pig in the field and missing, wondering "where did that shot go?" Steve Hurley, the defending title holder from Mudgee, where the last State Title event (2019) was held in one place. Steve was again invincible. The Classic Calibre results were: 1. first, Steve Hurley; 2. second, Kevin Barrington (Coonabarabran); and 3. third, Don Chesworth. The State Title overall result for the two match totals known as the 'Two Gun' was: 1. first Steve Hurley (a clean sweep of gold and the NSW Shield for Steve); 2. second, Kevin Barrington (fourth place in the Open match); and 3. third Don Chesworth. The Two Gun Ladies was won by Liz Ellis (Perth) and the Two Gun Junior by Connor Ellis (Perth). The Two Gun Veterans was won by Kevin Barrington and Seniors by Don Chesworth, both winning their respective age categories in both matches. The Title event was supported by major barrel manufacturer, Total Solutions Engineering in Everton Hills, Brisbane and gun stores: • Murtech Munitions at Coonamble, • Austin Bourke's Bastille Gun store at Dubbo; and • Cowboy Guns and Gear at Cowra. The support of these companies was greatly appreciated for significant prizes in kind.
