LINCOLNSHIRE SINGLE BARREL CHAMPIONSHIP

 

HELD AT NOTTINGHAM & DISTRICT GUN CLUB

 

ON SUNDAY, 31ST MARCH

 

 

NICK DAY - 2024 SINGLE BARREL CHAMPION

 

After weeks of incessant rain, the day of our county single barrel championship was, mercifully, dry.  The weather still posed a few challenges though as shooters had to contend with some strong-ish winds and changing light conditions as intermittent sunshine gave way to grey clouds and on top of all that everybody was missing an hour’s sleep as we changed to British Summer Time. 

John Winn, shooting on one of the earlier squads, set the bar with a score of 92 in spite of a disappointing (for him!) last round.  Some good scores followed with Graham Elkington and Mark Hebden scoring 90.  Janet Stennett surprised herself with an 88 and both Gary Boardman and John Mansfield racked up 87’s but Nick Day, shooting on the last squad of the day (isn’t that always the way!!) put the cat amongst the pigeons by also carding a 92.  A shoot off followed on layout 4 with Nick scoring a perfect 25 to John’s 23.  Well done to both shooters and congratulations to Nick, the 2024 single barrel champion.

JOHN WINN & NICK DAY - SHOOT OFF

A score of 88 was enough to give Janet Stennett the ladies title for this year.

JANET STENNETT - 2024 SINGLE BARREL LADIES CHAMPION

This event was twinned with the Nottinghamshire single barrel championship so there was a total entry of 33 shooters, which is pretty good for a more than breezy bank holiday Sunday. of which 15 were Lincs shooters.  In the money were Lincolnshire shooters, John Mansfield 1^st in B Class with 87 and Lizzie MacGreggor White, entering into the spirit of Easter complete with ears and tail, 1^st in C Class on 77. 

LIZZIE MACGREGGOR-WHITE - 1ST C CLASS
