LINCOLNSHIRE HELICE CHAMPIONSHIP

HELD AT RUGBY & DISTRICT GUN CLUB

ON SATURDAY 13TH APRIL

 

Phil Thomas, 2024 Helice Champion.

 

The weather was reported by some to be a warm summer's day with a light breeze.  Others report slightly more than a light breeze which played havoc with what are already quite difficult targets.  This discipline has a good, steady following and every year a new Lincolnshire shooter tries his hand and often surprises himself with a good result.  This year, that person was our favourite Welshman, Phil Thomas, who, given the conditions, racked up a very impressive 16/24 to claim the Lincolnshire title and take home what is arguably our most impressive trophy.  Top score of the day was 19/24, very unusual for this event not to be won with a score over 20, so an indication of just how difficult it was.

The combining of this event with the East Midlands regional championship as well as a handful of other counties ensured there was a good entry of 38 and Phil's score gave him joint 4th overall and the top scorer in the East Midlands senior category. 

Top Lincolnshire veteran was Steve Parker on a score of 12/24.
