QUIGLEY SHOOTING ASSOCIATION NEWS


THE QUIGLEY SHOOTING ASSOCIATION by Ken Hall


November’s Quigley Shoot and a new Quigley Champion


Blessed with an un-seasonal sunny and mild day that allowed us to forgo the shelter of the covered firing-point, we were able to get an early start and make the most of the limited autumn daylight.


The lack of wind promised some respectable scores, however most firers couldn’t capitalise on the conditions and so they proved elusive - perhaps we were just not used to shooting in good weather!


Stage 1 at 400 yards was fired on the new, even more unforgiving, bucket target which scores 5 points per hit, with only one point for the nearest of misses. The stage completed, we retired for lunch with Richard Healey in a commanding lead with 51 points and Ian Hull, Gary Allsopp and Steve Maris each scoring 35 points.


The QSA Championship is based on a firer’s best three scores, this gives all members a good chance to win, allowing you to drop your worst scores, or to miss a couple of shoots without forfeit. When the arithmetic was completed, the 2011 Championship went thus:


1st


2nd 3rd 4th


5th= 5th=


Richard Healey David Malpas Gary Allsopp Ken Hall


Dennis Richardson Jake Healey


290pts 284pts 278pts 266pts 255pts 255pts


Each year, the shooter who achieves the highest score on Stage 1, is awarded the ‘Quigley Bucket’. The shooter with the highest score on Stage 2 wins the ‘Quigley Buffalo Trophy’, both unique trophies hand crafted by our own Doug Herod.


Stage 2 at 600 yards promised to be a challenge - and it was. The changing light making the buffalo target more difficult to see and hit. Steve Maris won the stage with 57 points, with Richard close on his heels with 56 points.


Back into the clubhouse and a rapid tally to determine not just today’s winner but the season’s Champion shot.


Richard Healey won today’s comp with a score of 107 points, with Steve Maris as runner-up with 92 points.


105


This year, Gary Allsopp takes home the Bucket trophy, and Ian Hull the Buffalo trophy. A fitting end to the season which has seen average scores drop off slightly since the introduction of the new target but next year…..who knows?
