In perfect weather last Saturday, the Hamilton Clay Target Club held its monthly championship shoot. Peter Cleggett was again the star winning both events and shooting with exceptional skill to shoot 97/98 for the day.

The first event was the President’s 50 target double barrell event, with only 3 shooters being able to score the possible 50/50. To shoot off were Peter Cleggett of Hamilton, Noel Sharrock of Wimmera and Steve Collins of Hamilton. Collins dropped out after only one shot and a further 17 shots were fired before Cleggett took the honours from Sharrock. Results were;- Overall and 1st in AA was Peter Cleggett with 68/68 from Murray Gruar of Hamilton on 49/50. The A grade sash went to Noel Sharrock with 67/68 from Steve Collins on 51/52. B grade saw Sam Cuttler of Hamilton take the sash with a score of 48/50 from Michael Mole of Myamyn, one behind, on a score of 47/50. C Grade saw a shoot off for the placings with Cydoni Younie of Hamilton scoring 46/51 to take the sash from Chris Nolte of Myamyn on 45/51.

The second event for the day was a 25 target single barrell event. Single barrell always tests the shooters out and no-one was able to score the possible 25/25. Overall Champion was Peter Cleggett with a score of 24/25 just narrowly defeating Cydoni Younie with a score of 23/25 with only a very few shooters able to score in the 20s. Placings were;- Overall and winner of AA was Peter Cleggett from Scott McIntyre and Allan Pollock, both on 20/25. A Grade saw a tie for 1st place between Noel Sharrock and Trevour Pevitt of Tyrendarra who each scored 22/25. B grade saw the same results as the first event with Sam Cuttler on 20/25 defeat Michael Mole on 19/25. C Grade was again a repeat of the 1st event being won by Cydoni Younie with her outstanding score of 23/25 from Chris Nolte on 20/25.

To top off an excellent day’s shooting for Cleggett he also shot the jackpot event netting himself a tidy sum for his efforts.
