SSAA NSW State Rimfire
Benchrest Titles
Junior shooter sets an Olympic dream
It was the battle for Benchrest in Coffs Harbour
on Friday 2 to Monday 5 October with two huge
competitions for the discipline taking place at the
Dairyville Range.
On Friday and Saturday, the SSAA NSW State Rimfire
Benchrest Titles were held with a strong field of shooters.
While on Sunday and Monday, the SSAA NSW IRB State
Titles took centre stage.
From a glance the weekend's weather was perfect, with
warm and sunny conditions over the four days. However
there were tricky wind conditions that persisted over the
weekend challenging the shooters in both shoots.
For the Rimfire Benchrest event, 26 competitors took
part in the light rimfire
(LRF) event on Saturday and
44 shooters in Sunday's heavy rimfire (HRF). While in the
RB shoot there were 35 competitors on both days.
Ashley Elford won the SSAA NSW State Rimfire Benchrest
Titles with a 2-gun score of. 7724 followed by Joy Harrison
in second on .8657 and Chris Tyne in third with .8757.
In the IRB State Titles, Robin Cox's 1491.93 was the
highest aggregate score, which put her ahead of Sonia
Frost on 1489.76 and Geoff Knight, 1488.98, in third. To
