Hello Action Pistol shooters. The John Cameron Memorial Cup Shoot is all set to run 15th June at the Auckland Pistol Club. This event will be run on the same day as it will be shot in the USA in memory of our good friend John. A couple of changes this year; because we wish to use the J.C. Cup Shoot as a NZ team selection MQS opportunity, the competition will be shot at John’s home club rather than a national postal shoot.

 

We have added an extra $5 to the entry fee – something I would like to see happen and all future Action Pistol competitions – this extra $5 per entry will go into a trust fund to assist and promote our sport of Action Pistol.

 

In an effort to encourage new shooters, we have created the “480 Action Match”  this involves a twelve shot string of fire from the four major events and can be shot with a basic centre fire or .22 pistol.  The start position is pistol held at the 45 degree ready position.  This category is open to all ungraded / tyro shooters.  We really do need to promote and build the number of new shooters.  May I ask that you really try and get new club members along to this, and other Action shoots.   Entry fee for the 480 Match is just $15 as a further incentive.

 

Keith Docherty, our APC Section Director will be looking after the J.C. Cup shoot – please let him know ASAP if, and how many shooters we can expect from your club.  And of course any other enquiries.

Good luck to our shooters who are about to leave for the USA in order to take part in the 2008 Bianchi Cup.
