ZZ Championshipship

There was a good turnout for the 2014 ZZ Championships held on the 17th May at the A1 Shooting Ground on a beautiful, calm, summy day. The 15 target competition was shot over two layouts, creating even more of a variation in target flight. The competition was so close that it was effectively decided on each competitor's last  three targets.

Essex scores:

Bryan Freeman 12 Champion
John Haas 11 Vets Champion
Hilary Haas 11 Lady Champion
Barry Summerhayes 11  
David Henshaw 10  
Bill Logan Jnr 10  
Shane Maynard 10  
Pam Dorrington 8
