Norfolk All Round & Dennis Rudd Memorial

The Norfolk All Round & Dennis Rudd Memorial was held today at The Priory Clay Target Centre where the predicted rain luckily never materialised.

The All Round consisted of 25 single barrel (DTL), 25 Automatic Ball Trap, 25 Skeet followed by 25 sporting. The sporting stand consisted of a simultaneous pair from left to right, stand 2 had a single full use target followed by 4 pairs of a going away teal followed by a left to right crossing target. The single target was a medium range quartering in crosser from left to right which roughly dropped 40 yards away. The last sporting stand had an orange right to left battue followed on report by a right to left crosser.
