Christmas shoot December 6th 2008<br />
We had another great day of Waikato weather and some good<br />
shooting with just a little breeze in the afternoon.<br />
Single Barrel A Grade (L-R) Ross Roy, William Rooney,<br />
Lindsay Rodgers<br />
A big thank you to the Waikato club for allowing us to host<br />
the event at their facilities in conjunction with their own<br />
Christmas shoot. Peter Krippner for cashiering at the office,<br />
Paul Schmidt for mowing around the lanes, Graeme Williams<br />
for his help setting up and loading the trap, Mike Holmes<br />
and Bryce Schou for their help with target setting as well<br />
as everyone who helped with scoring, refereeing and trap<br />
loading during the day.<br />
We condensed the program to just 150 singles with 3 visits<br />
to the trap. There was only one shoot-off between Gordon<br />
Tucker and Paul Schmidt for the ham in A grade. Gordon was<br />
heard commenting that perhaps his training routine the night<br />
before wasn’t quite up to scratch…<br />

B Grade: 1st Diane Boenders, 2nd Bryce Schou, 3rd Murray<br />

January ATA shoot at Thames Gun Club<br />
This month we had our first shoot at Thames. What a great<br />
start on new grounds. Firstly the ATA would like to extend a<br />
big thank you to Don McCarthy for his help measuring and<br />
pegging the fields and Richard Boenders for measuring the<br />
elevation so we could get the target height consistent across<br />
the four fields. Also, thank you to the Thames crew for their<br />
help on the day loading traps and helping with refereeing and<br />
scoring. Diane Boenders and Sally van de Wetering for running<br />
the office and cashiering the shoot. We also need to say “thank<br />
you” to the club for the very nice condition of the grounds.<br />
What a pleasure to work and shoot with such nice facilities.<br />
We had a great day of weather with a little wind in the afternoon<br />
to add just a bit more challenge to the doubles.<br />
